No you haven’t missed a post or two. We’ve been the ones
missing lately, I apologize. A couple weeks ago Jonathan was away in NC for
work. That was a long but busy week for us. I purposefully made us busy so that
it would go faster but it still seemed just as long. That week ended with a
sweet and adorable wedding of my dear friend. Unfortunately we did not get a
picture together at the wedding because by the time I remembered we were
already hot, sweaty and my hair was pulled back but it was nice to get a few
hours away together even if most of it was driving.
Last week was slightly less busy but ended with Audra having
a play date with two of her 3rd cousins. She was in awe of little
humans her size and almost her age. We visited Grandma and Pap that night
because they had been on a long road trip vacation and we hadn’t seen them in a
week!
This week has been even less busy. Running to the grocery
store, the second hand clothing store and picking black raspberries is about
all we’ve done this week. We did experiment with playing in the water yesterday
but Audra was not impressed. I basically did it so that I could put her swim
suit on her. Of course…I didn’t get a picture of that because my phone was
frozen all day until the battery died. It was actually kind of refreshing to
not have a phone or worry about checking my phone. When I finally did get my
phone back on it erased all my contacts but luckily not my pictures!
When we aren’t running to a store or playing outside (which
happens about twice a day now) we spend our days inside trying to keep cool and
rolling around on the floor. The other day I let Audra go beyond the confines
of her play mat and she just rolls and scoots all over! She hasn’t quite
mastered the coordination of pushing up on her hands with pushing her butt up
but we’re getting there. She also stares us down whenever we eat around her and
she’s sampled very very small amounts of yogurt, jam, applesauce, mashed carrot
and mashed potato. We are awaiting the new cover we bought for her highchair
but I put her in her highchair today to test it out. She. Hated. It. I promised
her it will soon be her favorite place where she will eat all things yummy but
she wasn’t convinced. We are still waiting for her to tell us she’s ready for
solids. I think were slowly getting there as she seems to be wanting to nurse more
often than usual these days.
Other than that our lives are pretty much the same day in and
out. We eat, sleep, play repeat. Sometimes it’s exhausting and boring to me.
Sometimes I have to remind myself to soak it in because pretty soon she’ll be
mobile and I will no longer be able to just sit on the floor while she plays.
Here are some recent pictures of our sweet and sassy girl.
Outside adventures are our favorite thing to do these days.
The laundry basket is our newest trick to keep her sitting up and all her toys within reach.
Sitting pretty
Sleepy squishy babies are seriously the best!
Thanks for coming back and reading about our lives friend. I enjoy keeping you updated!
