One year- 22 weeks

It's hard to believe that Miss Audrey is already 17 months old! She has really turned into a toddler this week. She started using quite a few sentences this weekend, one of our favorites was "I want my coat" and she is learning lots of new words. She finally said "I love you" and "Grandma" and she is also really good at saying (and finding) "circles." Audrey's school has been working on feelings and Audrey now runs around the house saying "happy" and putting her hands in the air. :) She loves to sing "Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes" and she is getting very good at climbing on everything in the house. We love her more than we can express and we can't wait to watcher her continue to grow. 

One year- 21 Weeks

Miss Audrey is learning so many new things lately. She repeats almost everything we ask her to say and she especially likes learning the names of foods. :) She can say Grandma now and is getting good about remember everyone's names. Audrey loves to do puzzles and is very good at figuring out where all the pieces go. We read farm books every night before bed and she is really good about letting us brush her teeth before she goes to sleep. I think she is working on getting her two year molars but so far she only seems a little grumpy about it.

Woodburn Tulip Fields

We visited the Woodburn Tulip Fields today. The weather was great and we had so much fun watching Audrey check out the flowers. There were lots of fun things to do and Audrey only picked two tulips during the whole 3 1/2 hours we were there. :)

Audrey loved it so much, we went on the wooden shoe train too!

One year- 20 Weeks

Little Miss is talking up a storm. She repeats all kinds of words now and is always so proud of herself when she can tell us something and we understand her. She loves to repeat something she wants, "water, water, water, water..." and then when you ask her if she wants whatever she is asking for she says "okay" like it wasn't even her idea. :) Audrey can walk up and down the stairs like a big girl now and she would much rather sit in her booster seat at the table instead of her highchair. She has been eating a lot this week and has especially enjoyed all the Easter treats. Audrey loves to watch the laundry spin around in Mommy's new washer and dryer and she will even help me load and unload the clothes.
