October 1, 2005,

Audrey has 2 favorite things right now: Dancing and Sesame Street. She dances all day long, whenever she hears music, rocking, wiggling, bouncing and spinning. She also loves Elmo ( she calls him ” Muuuuuh”). She searches out things that make music all ay long, like the TV, alarm clock, toys, cell phones, and music boxes. If you ask her to do ” her beautiful dancing” she will respond with a slow twirl with on arm in the air. ( Clearly, a future Broadway dancer.)

Her favorite foods now are breaded chicken, 12 grain bread, mandarin oranges, and key lime yogurt. Vegetables are struggle but at least she’s eating meat now. Her favorite treat is gummy candy, especially Swedish fish. She knows that she will only get those from Daddy when he gets home from work, so when he walks in the door she runs to the cabinet he keeps them in. She points up to it and demands ” ISH,ISH ! “. She went for a weight check and was up to 19 lbs. Hopefully shell be back on the charts at her 18 month check up.

The sleep specialist couldn’t tell us anything we didn’t already hear from the pediatrician, but by some miracle, a few days after the appointment, without any intervention, she started sleeping well. Things are MUCH better now. She sleeps through the night a few days a week and her bad nights aren’t so bad.( I’m knocking on wood.)

We are currently battling Audrey’s urge to climb. I feel like I say ” NO, get down” 50 times a day. She climbs on top of the coffee table, the ottomans, climbs the footboard on the bed, the shelves into he closet, and uses toys to climb on top of the couch. She also hangs off tabletops like they are monkey bars and has learned how to open doors.

I have really been slacking with the pictures lately… Here is a picture of her dancing in the pool at her friend Avery’s 2nd birthday party and one of her eating her first Krispy Kreme doughnut. I am very busy right now trying to design my online class, but I will update again soon.
