Audrey has a question...and other random pics

So when Audrey wants you to help her walk somewhere (which she wants ALL THE TIME!), she raises her hand up in the air, like this...just like a kid in school who has a question.


If you don't respond right away, she stretches her hand out a little more and tries to show you with her facial expression that she wants you to come right now and help her!


It reminds me of that kid at school who is so eager to be called on...and it cracks me up every time! I do try to respond to her because I feel like this is her own "sign language". She seems to be trying to communicate with us, so I want to respond to her to let her know that we understand what she is trying to say....but after the gazillionth time of walking around the house, hunched over and holding her hands, it does get kind of tiring.
Audrey has been pretty restless taking her bottle these days. We're down to giving her just 3 bottles a day now, and we've also been letting her feed herself. She never stays still while eating, as these pictures show. So it takes her forever to finish a bottle!
We see lots of smiles and hear lots of giggles from Audrey these days...and it's a lot of fun! This is still a favorite face.

emily,

i never am going to be able to have kids because they won't even compare to the beauty of your daughter. thanks.

love,

your lil sis

hahaha. she is so beautiful! her pics crack me up of her with her hands up trying to get ur attention - i seriously love her facial expressions and you could and should seriously try to sell her pics to Anne Geddes because she is so beautiful! :)
one thing that helped my friends daughter walk, and it may help u & ur back - try to get her to use that cart or lawnmower or whatever it is i saw in one of ur pics, to walk by herself but have something to hold on to. but this blog is really old so u may already be doing that :)
