1 year...How can it be!?!

We can not believe how fast this year has gone.  Nor can we believe how perfect Audrey is for our family.  It seems like yesterday we were wondering if she was a boy or a girl, trying to settle on a name, and wondering when she would arrive.  It still melts my heart to remember the first time we held her and the first time her sisters met her!  As fast as a year goes it's unbelievable to think about everything that has happened and all that Audrey learned.  She has been the easiest, sweetest baby we could have asked for. 


She is all over the place.  Crawling, pulling up on everything, standing and cruising.  Clapping, waving, blowing kisses, and into everything!


She is a good eater.  She will eat almost anything we offer her.  We still give her baby food and then let her try what we are eating.  She still doesn't have much of an interest in sippy cups.   She has 11 teeth. 



She is literally ALWAYS smiling.  She loves her sisters, dog, any of her sisters toys, when her Daddy gets home from work,  being outside, going on walks, making a mess in the play room, and so much more.  

The night before her birthday when I was putting her to bed she had the giggles.  Neil heard her and came in to she what was going on.  


I guess she was just enjoying her last few minutes of being an 11 month old. 




Emmerson and Daddy wanted to wake her up to say happy birthday before they left for the day.  



After we got Emmerson off to school we played with balloons.  




Then we got ready to go have lunch with Daddy.  (this is her silly girl squeal face)


She was happy to see him in the middle of the day. 





We decided to go into Daddy's office for a bit.


Claire wrapped the gifts she picked out all by herself.


We always let the girls pick out the gifts they get each other.  It's always interesting to see what they come up with.  Claire decided well before shopping day on what she was going to get.  She got her washcloths and "baby treats".  


Emmerson picked out a baby pool for her.

When Daddy got home we opened gifts and went out for dinner and ice cream. 


The best part is the washcloths were her favorite gift!










She loved the baby treats too.
