It's that time again.

Happy 16 Months!
RIGHT NOW...
My favorite thing about you is: your babble. You have seriously started putting words together and repeating everything we say. It's awesome.
Tonight, Tim was reading one of her favorite little books to her. It's a Sesame Street book that talks about the sounds on Sesame Street. Audrey, without any prompting said the correct sound for each page. "Bam! Bam! Bam!", "Tick, tick, tick, tick" and "Tweet! Tweet!" Oh, I almost fell over with pride. Yes. Your little voice is my favorite thing about you right now. I simply can't get enough of it.

The biggest relief would be: if you would never get another ear infection again. Please? You are currently on your 6th. I don't want to sign you up for the surgery. I don't want you to be on any more anitbiotics either, blech. Oh, and just so you know- she still refuses to drink milk.



What I’m most looking forward to is: for you to start speaking in sentences. I want to know how your brain works. I want to know what you're thinking. Someday soon, I'm sure you'll tell me all about it.

New words: want more, want down, book, outside, hat, bat, pop, mop, toot toot, I'm sure there's more. I just can't think right now. I'll add them as I remember them. Most of them are from those Sesame Street books. (Best investment ever.)

Some of the funny things you've done lately: Yeah, it still involves food. You refuse to let us feed you. You insist on feeding yourself, which is extremely messy, but damn cute.


You have also been putting on my shoes and clomping around in them. I think I might buy you some dress up shoes. I know you'd like that.

Audrey, I love watching you and your father together. You are my two favorite people and it just melts my heart to see moments like these:
