Nine Months Old

>

Audrey is nine months old today! When Lori realized this, she said that she couldn't believe that we'll be having a first birthday party for Audrey in just three months. The past nine months has gone by so fast!

Little Audrey has been sick for the last two days so she didn't celebrate her big day in her usual style. She continues to be a happy baby though, even with a 103 temperature! She has a big personality and knows what she wants, which is usually what her big sister has, to be nearer to her big sister, or food. She has a few words that she is using: mama, hi (which sounds like haaaa), night night (nnn nnn), and uh oh. She has also said mommy once. She will wave to you if you say hi, bye, or night night.

Audrey also appears to have the Mimi and Boppa music genes. This girl will start to wiggle, bounce, and sway anytime music is on and she even tries to sing along. We love it! She is still not crawling but has found her way to get around - she lays on her stomach, grabs the blanket with her hands, and just pulls her body up to where her hands are.

Audrey is eating more and more solid food. This weekend she had her first steamed veggies and seemed to enjoy it. We got the results of her food allergy tests last week and the only thing that was positive was the dairy allergy. We were thrilled! We have dealt with the dairy allergy before in Ellie and most kids outgrow that one (Ellie did by 2 1/2). We have started her back on Cheerios and puffs, which is going well. The girl likes her food!

Today's photo shoot didn't go so well since Audrey is sick, but we took a few pictures anyway....

This is how she spent most of our photo shoot!
