I look back on Audrey's earliest months and im so amazed at how far she's come! I used to get updates about Audrey's growth and the things she should be doing week by week and she was doing a lot of things way before she was suppose to, but little things here and there she still hasnt done yet and I really had to remind myself that all babies are different and its okay- they move at their own pace. Some babies take their time, some babies skip milestones and jump to new ones. Im a first time mommy and everything is still new to me, but I know that Audrey is doing so well and im enjoying each and every one of her milestones...one little step at a time(=
With all of that being said, Audrey has been up to a lot lately!
 |
| My baby girl is able to stand on all of her weight now!! |
 |
| ...with a hand close by of course. |
 |
| She doesnt move, just learning to hold her weight, while leaning on something |
 |
| She puts everything, and I mean everything in her mouth! |
 | |
| She is actually able to put individual objects into her mouth with accuracy. |
 |
| ...which akes teething on things much more enjoyable. No frustration. |
 |
| She focuses on people or objects with such intent. Pays very good attention! |
 |
| She still loves playing with her feet |
 | |
| My FAVORITE thing that i noticed shes been doing for a week now is mimic mommies facial expressions!! She is now learning to mimic. Sounds as well. I make this face a lot, unbeknown to me, and it cracks me up every time I see her do it. Its very random and without purpose! She has developed such a personality I love watching her just to see it! |
She loves to play with herself in the mirror. I think she thinks
its another baby. She does get a kick out of it! I would love
to see her interact with other babies. Playdates in the future ;]
Audrey is still a little screamer at times. She does so because she
can and I still believe she's experimenting with all the new sounds
she can make with her little voice.
During feedings, Audrey opens her mouth on her own BEFORE
you even get the food to her mouth. Its her way of letting us know
she's hungry and she is starting to enjoy all foods now. She swallows very
well, and im just impressed at how well she eats compared to a few weeks ago!

| Audrey now has to be bathed in her tub IN a tub because she splashes too much! |
 | |
| We got her new bath toys because she loves to play in her tub. |
I remember not too long ago we would lay her down on the
slope [to the right] but now she sits up in her tub. Before you
know it she'll be a little swimmer!
BASICS:
-Audrey wears a size 3 diaper
-Drinks 6 ounces of formula every 4-5 hours, eats
a whole can of baby food before each formula feeding
-Wears 6-9 month baby clothes, but isnt quite fitting bottoms
as they are a little tight around her tummy.
-She still goes down for sleep around 8 and wakes at 7
-Our morning ritual is to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, she
loves it! Always smiles so big when the intro, toodles and hot dog
dance come on!
-She entertains herself a lot more these days which makes getting
things done a lot easier. I was waiting for that to roll along
-She still hates tummy time-no rolling or crawling just yet
