Audrie is 20 Months....on our way to 2!!!

Audrie turned the big 20 months on Friday! Wow time seems to be picking up speed! She is in a very cute and sometimes crazy stage. We love her personality. She is a bubble of fun! Some of her favorite things...

* giving hugs and kisses

* playing hide and seek

* saying "mom", "dad / dada", "mama" = grandma, "papa" and can point them out in pictures

* yelling "mom! Mom! MOM!" or "dad! Dad! DAD!" until she gets our FULL attention.

* waving to the kids on the school bus

* making all her animal noises

* cleaning just about any surface in the house with a wet wipe in each hand

* flying high up in the air and balancing on dad's hand as high as he can reach

* doing a few yoga moves

* making that silly face Grant taught her

* telling Prince no no! and sometimes us :( We are trying to lovingly correct that.

* reading lots and lots of books

* jumping in her crib...it started a few days ago!!!

* working on recognizing letters - she can say "O" "Mmmm...M", "tatata..T", and "P"

* And...she can say her name now!!!

I am sure I am forgetting many, but I had to get some down because 18 - 20 months has been a kick. Grant and I sometimes just look at each other and laugh because she cracks us up!
Oh and she has the sweetest voice when she talks to you...she is talking full on (just don't always know what she is saying):) We do know a new phrase she says. We take the dog on a walk everyday and I always say "Prince do you want to go on a walk?" and my voice gets higher at the end. She picked up the phrase and tone. She pats her leg and asks Prince over and over until he has his leash on. It's soooo cute that I giggle every time! She also does it when she wants you to come sit by her. She pats the place next to her and says something like "You wanna ....pat pat here?"
She continues to amaze us! We are blessed to have such a dollie for an Audrie!

She is so photogenic, great way to remember this phase of an ever changing, exciting childhood. WE can't wait to be there soon. Looks like you even had a pretty day for the pictures.
