Little Miss Independent

This past Sunday, I hosted a baby shower at my house for my sister in law, Laura. She is due with her first baby (a boy!) in late December and we are SO excited to have another little cousin to play with. We had a great turn out at the shower and Audrey did well, too. She was able to see everyone for a little bit and then took her nap while we ate.

and Laura (Scott's brother's wife)

 On Saturday, Crystal and Sydney came over to help me cook and get the house ready for the party. What a huge help they were! Sydney, Audrey's cousin, played with Audrey all day while we got stuff ready in the kitchen. They had so much fun, Audrey just loves Sydney. She also loves her Aunt Crystal. They have this game they play called Poor Old Horsey and Audrey just can't get enough of it!

Look at me, Mama!

  So we also decided it was time to try out Audrey's baby walker that we got from Aunt Mandy. We tried it about a month ago but she wasn't quite ready. Well, she's definitely ready now! In fact, she's a little obsessed with it. It's sort of a love-hate relationship, actually. She'll walk and push it around, but the second she runs into something and stops, she falls to the floor and sobs. Quite the little diva! Scott decided he had to hide it from her because she was getting so upset. She just wants to walk on her own so badly!



On the go!



Such a big girl! Sydney was there to help, too!

Just within the past week or so, we've noticed that she is starting to develop her own opinions - she definitely knows what she wants and she'll let you know. Tonight at dinner, I was trying to get her to eat her egg, but she kept reaching for the puffs container. She's been a little bit fussier than usual in general this week and I think it's because she's getting a lot of teeth. She now has 4 that have broken through on the bottom and I can see at least 4 on the top getting ready to push through - that's gotta hurt! Poor baby!
