Yesterday was Audrey's 1st birthday. I'll start with a few updates on what she is doing right now, then we'll get to some pictures!
She is getting close to walking. We've been saying that for a while now, but she is right on the verge. She has taken up to 6 steps all by herself, and she is starting to walk very, very quickly while just holding on to one of our fingers for support. She is also starting to crawl on all fours, finally!! She will still resort to army crawling when she really wants to get somewhere quickly, but we are seeing her on all fours more and more often.
Last week, while she had the flu, she also got 2 more teeth. So she now has 3 teeth total, and I'm sure we'll be seeing more pop up in the very near future. Fun times!
We're still working on the sippy cup. She just is not that fond of any of the sippy cups we have tried. She will drink out of it, but her new thing is to take a big gulp then spit it out all over herself. She's still taking a bottle in the morning and a bottle at night. We're going to work on getting rid of the bottle all together in the coming weeks and making the transition from formula to whole milk. I'm sure there will be more fun times ahead with all of that!
She is babbling constantly, but not saying many real "words." For a while I thought she was saying doggie, ball, mommy and daddy in the right context. But right now, her word of choice is dada and she calls everything that! She talks in more of a conversational tone though, like she is trying to communicate but just doesn't know the words to use. She is also pointing at a lot of things now, which is nice because you can kind of understand what she is trying to communicate by looking at what she is pointing at.
OK, here are some Raggedy Ann pictures. We put her in a Halloween outfit, since her birthday is on Halloween and all!
