Happy Birthday, Audrey
One year ago, the three of us were at the hospital getting ready for our first night together as a family. One year ago! Everyone always says that you need to savor every moment because it goes so fast. They were right. Luckily, we have. Each day brings brand new milestones. So many it’s hard [...]
Audrey meets Santa
Yesterday, Audrey had her first encounter with the jolly St. Nick. In true Audrey fashion, she spent the initial phase of the meeting studying him and trying to figure out what was going on. Unfortunately, the meeting came after a day of little sleep and in the end, Audrey decided that Santa Claus could not [...]
New first: crawling
Just a quick note here to memorialize the day. This evening, before going to bed, Audrey crawled. Belly off the ground, on hands and knees, there was no doubt about it. I guess she realized that since she can’t walk yet, this was more efficient than the army crawl she’s been employing for weeks now. [...]
Happy eight month birthday!
It’s hard to imagine that it’s been eight months since Audrey entered our lives, but here we are. She’s not only started to pull-up, but she’s begun to cruise a little (with an eye on going ahead and walking). As you can see in the video below, she’s a little wobbly on her feet, but [...]
Audrey’s first swim class
Audrey joined the Little Flippers class yesterday at the JCC, and despite going into the lesson with little sleep, she loved it. The first class was all about getting the babies used to the water. We floated her around, had her chase a little, floating octopus, sang songs as a group, and even dipped her [...]
Russian River finally uploaded
Russian River, a set on Flickr. We finally got around to uploading an abridged set of photos from our trip to the Russian River this past summer. Plenty of fun photos of Lily and Audrey (not to mention Steve and Roxanne). Click on through to see the full set.
Happy six months
Audrey turns six months old today and I swear, today is the day she will crawl. She’s mastered the scoot (although that seems to only scoot her backwards) and is able to get up on all fours, she just needs to put it all together. We’re at Fernwoods, a little cottage off the Russian River, [...]
Firsts for babies and fathers
Untitled, a photo by kenjisan on Flickr. As Cyndi has already mentioned, Father’s Day was Sunday and it was my first. She made sure that it was a great one, too. I got to sleep in, got crispy bacon and pancakes for breakfast (yes, I just told you what I had for breakfast… what?!).It was [...]
New home
If you’re reading this on the blog, then obviously you found it, so this is kind of redundant. We purchased the more obvious: youmeandaudrey.com URL. I think all old posts will revert here, but I’m getting some errors at the moment.
