Audrey 9 months....a few weeks ago, and then some.

Audrey has been 9 months old now for 3 weeks. I'm a little behind to say the least. She's crawling everywhere, and she's fast (unless she's wearing a dress). She loves pulling up to stand and moves from one spot to another - cruising. It won't be long until she's walking. She goes pretty fast when she has assistance to walk and has even taken a few steps while holding only one of my hands. She's so proud of herself! 6 teeth now, the top 4 are coming in. She gives kisses, sometimes. We're working on waving and clapping. And again, she's so proud of herself when she claps or waves. We call her our "trash baby" because for some reason she loves to get in the trash cans. I don't know. She's so curious about everything! It's fun watching her explore and discover something for the first time. Unless of course she's tearing down the blinds. Or eating a roll of toilet paper, or dirt, or sand. But when she says "Mama" she can do whatever she wants for all I care!!! haha :) We're working on saying "Dada/Daddy" right now too....

Nine month stats: 19.7 pounds (I swear she feels heavier than that!), 28 1/4". Her pediatrician said "well, she's bigger than 75% of the little girls her age." Go Audrey!?!?

Of course we've been spending as much time outdoors as possible. Any day now it's going to be 110 degrees with 110% humidity, so we're enjoying spring while we can. Here's a few pics of our fun days with Mimi and Grandma.

Mimi & Bubba's park is always fun, as long as we steer clear of the alligator that has made it's home in the nearby bayou!

Mercer Arboretum with Grandma. A very relaxing and fun day walking along the paths, admiring the hundreds and hundreds of flowers & plants!

First swim of the season!! A little chilly though. Even though his teeth were chattering and he was turning blue, Will swore he wasn't cold & didn't want to come out of Mr. & Mrs. O's pool. Audrey didn't stop smiling the whole time. I can't wait until pool time this summer!

Congrats to Kris & Katie!!! These pool pictures were the conclusion of their wedding weekend, but unfortunately I did not have my camera at their wedding. Go here to my sweet friend Kelly's blog for some AWESOME pics & video of Neil Diamond. He made an appearance at their wedding. She has some really great pics of the bride & groom too! It was a beautiful ceremony and quite the reception. So happy for you Ogorchock's!

TWO Audrey's?!?! TOO much!! I took mirror pics of Will when he was about 6 months old. Audrey is much more mobile at 9 months so it was a task getting these, but very fun!!

Just some pics of my two favorite kiddos being silly silly silly!!!

Audrey can't keep up with Will as he tries to outsmart her by running around her highchair. They were both cracking up!



Good times in the tunnel! Will loves that he has a playmate now who can roll around and crawl thru with him.

Will being very studious and enjoying his books at the library while Audrey is climbing over everything & everybody to see what's going on.


A little patio art for our viewing pleasure.



Where's Audrey???
