22 Months...

We have experienced a lot of firsts this month.  
*Audrey sang Twinkle Twinkle from start to finish.
*Climbed out of her crib and gave me a heart attack.  Seriously, I thought someone was breaking in!
*Potty!

One of my favorite things at the moment is hearing Audrey "reread" the books that we read to her.  Nothing is much more precious than watching her sit surrounded by books while she reads in her sweet, tiny, little voice.  

Another favorite is listening to her prayers.  After the list of people she wants to pray for, she mentions some of her favorite things like MooMoo, cookies, milk, and "Jesus love me".
 Today she even thanked God for groceries!  Wise beyond her years. ;)


Daddy's socks, Mommy's hairband, and four different necklaces complete her outfit.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Audrey was happy to spend the morning playing with her friend Delaney, but wasn't so sure about the hugging part.

Colorado!

Let me tell ya, I was *extremely* nervous terrified about taking the trip to Colorado to visit Will and Emily (and baby Biff).  The thought of my wiggly-almost-two toddler sitting still for 3 hours on a plane was impossible for me to imagine, but somehow we did it!  Of course I had an activity bag FULL of things to entertain her and a few extra set of hands (thanks Maw and Paw!)  
We flew into Colorado without a hitch and spent the week playing in the snow.  Audrey and Elizabeth were adorable playing together and I was surprised that Audrey was mostly willing to share Elizabeth's toys with her.  ;)  
The week went by fast and we were sad to leave, but so thankful that we were able to spend time with our family.  Thanks Will, Emily, and Elizabeth for such a good time!!


Audrey wanted to help feed "Baby Biff".
Cousin love?
First ride in an airplane!
Kisses..


 Who needs paper when you can put stickers on Daddy's face?
 We skied..
 Trust me, I was NOT as excited about being (thisclose) to death-by-falling-of-a-cliff as a seem to be in the picture.

 We cooked..
