Happy second birthday, Audrey!
Two years ago today we cradled our tiny newborn in our arms, navigating the profound love, relief, and exhaustion that washed over us after her birth. This morning, she cradled her own brand-new little baby in her arms. Happy second birthday, Audrey! So we can remember how much she has grown and changed over the [...]
Merry Christmas (and happy twenty-three months)
Merry Christmas! And happy twenty-three months to Audrey, too. We started the morning bright and early, as usual — but this time we got to begin the day with gifts! After rooting through our stockings, Audrey happily tore into the big present Santa left while she was sleeping… her new toy kitchen! She immediately got [...]
Happy twenty-two months
Whoops, this time the 25th really slipped past me. Maybe it’s because our week was a mess of broken sleep, high fevers, crying, and an endless runny nose. (Poor Audrey’s been suffering from a bad cold.) Or maybe I’m just in denial that she’ll turn two so soon. In any case, Audrey is twenty-two months [...]
Happy twenty-one months
Guess who’s twenty-one months old? (As of yesterday, actually…it’s been a busy week and I’m behind on blogging, as usual.) We should have decided to make her a parrot for Halloween, because that’s what Audrey is these days. She’s adding new words to her vocabulary each day. Everything she encounters is identified by object, color [...]
Happy twenty months
Our girl is twenty months old today! Audrey has been having fun with friends and inanimate objects alike recently, including Evelyn… Celeste… trees… and her stuffed animals. She’s talking more each day too, though often we have no idea what she’s saying. Some recent words include bowl, soup, truck, yellow, and circle, and she’s starting [...]
Happy nineteen months
Our cutie pie is getting ever closer to two years old (*sniff*); she’s nineteen months today! And busier by the day. We spend lots of time at the park adjacent to our street. These days Audrey loves to climb up and down the jungle gym (skipping the slide, usually), hang from the “big girl” swing [...]
Happy eighteen months
We did, eventually, make it to Portland on Saturday and have been having a great time! Lots of photos and stories to post, but for now I’ll just say…happy eighteen months, Audrey! So glad you can celebrate your half-year birthday with your Spain family uncles, aunts, and cousin. And a cupcake, of course.
Happy seventeen months
I really cannot believe we’re almost halfway through Audrey’s second year. Today she’s seventeen months old! She gets cuter and cuter each month. Kenji was off today (hooray!) since he just returned from his almost week-long conference in Minneapolis. It made for lots of good father-daughter bonding, including plenty of “whoosing” (arm swinging) around the [...]
Happy (belated) sixteen months
Life is so busy at the moment that I didn’t have a chance to post on the 25th about Audrey’s 16-month birthday. At least it’s still the right month! Audrey (a.k.a. Little Love, Sweet, Sweetness, Pumpkin Head, and Miss Cutie Pie Bohlin) is quite the explorer these days. She fluctuates between roaming around the house [...]
Happy fifteen months
Today Audrey is fifteen months old! These days, she loves to sit in “big girl” chairs. (Notice the excited open-mouth expression.) Audrey also loves to be outside, whether in our yard, the playground, or in a park. And yes, everything still goes in her mouth. Our busy little lady currently enjoys climbing the jungle gym [...]
