words...I think
Well Audrey seems to be saying things, well, I think. They sound like words to me, so there you have it. She says, "yeah", "dadda" (still), "hi". Of course if I were to ask her to do any of these things in front of anyone, she would never in a million years do it, so you'll just have to take my word for it. I have also got her to say, "roarrrrr" like a bear and lately anytime she is holding something and she drops it, she totally lets out this "ughhhh" in frustration, like she's totally peeved that she has to bend over to get it. I hate how big she is getting. Tomorrow she will be 10 months, oh wait, yup, that was me just wiping away a tear.
STOP GROWING LITTLE ONE!

drink, ahhhh, drink
The other day Audreys feeding time came around, as it does every 4 hours. I sat her down on my lap and tried to put the bottle in her mouth. She opened up, but would not drink, she just kept pushing it from side to side and then she clenches both of her hands into fists while tensing up her whole body and let out an ahhhh! So I put her down in irritation cause the kid was ticking me off.
So as she walked around the ottoman for a bit, I asked her a little later if she wanted her babba? She came to me, I sat her in my lap, while she proceeded to do the exact same thing following it with an ahhhhh! Instead of putting her down this time, I just thought whatever, she'll eat when she wants I guess and we just watched tv for a second. As we were sitting there, she let out a big sneeze and out came what looked like a big snot ball, (a little graphic and gross I know, just remember, this is my blog here people)Of course it landed on my leg and I was like "oh no you di-nt", but oh yeah, she did. As I inspected this thing sitting on my leg that was covered in her formula like the PI that I am, come to find out it wasn't at all a big ball of goo, it was a big piece of plastic that Audrey had placed in her mouth at some point. Nice goin babysitter, oh wait, that was me.
Chalk it up for another "mommy point". Once again Audrey, lesson learned. When a baby that can't speak tenses up and clenches hands into fists and she lets out the phrase ahhhhh! That usually means something. That day it was, "hey mom, I shoved some 3" piece of plastic that I found off the disgusting floor that the dog probably sat on into my mouth and now your trying to wash it down with milk but I have to tell you it's not going down because this piece of plastic is a total barrier here, what are you trying to do kill me? Oh whatever dummy, I will just sneeze it out onto your leg and make it look like some big ball of goo".
Thanks for being the smart one Audrey.

Audrey Updates-9 months
Well Audrey just turned 9 months last week and she has changed leaps and bounds! We went to see the Dr for her wellness check up and everything looked great.
Head circumference- 17.5in 63%
Weight-19lb 64%
Height-29in 90%
Here is a picture of Audrey at 9 months
She is crawling like crazy and wants to get into everything that she knows she's not supposed to. She really wants nothing to do with all the fabulous toys that she recently got for Christmas, she just wants to explore the world now that she has the means. She pulls herself up to things very easily now and likes to think she is bigger than she is when it comes to bridging the gap from one piece of furniture to the other which will usually follow by a face plant. Her favorite places to crawl and pull herself up to right now are the steps leading up to my bath tub, the stairway going downstairs or any fireplace hearth that is in her site.
We think she may be saying "dadda". Well, we know she says it, we just can't tell if that is just one of the words she babbles. She does seem to however understand when I say "dadda", to look for him, so who knows. She has been saying that for quite some time now and my sister says that Kendell said "hi" to her while babysitting and without hesitation followed with a "hi" back to Kendell.
Audrey now gives kisses. About 2 weeks ago Jen just asked her for kisses and Audrey leaned forward with open mouth and placed one on her face. She then proceeded to do it over and over as the family mauled her for kisses. I just love when I get these moments when I pick her up and squeeze her and unexpectedly without me asking for one, she plants a big kiss on me!
She has also decided that she wants to go back to waving now. Every morning when I get her out of bed, we start heading down the hall and she just waves and waves like she is Princess Diana greeting her public.
Good news, she will now hold her bottle. You have to still place her hands on it, but by golly she will hold it.
I saved the best for last. Audrey has decided to go through the terrible two's already. I know all of my family members that read this are thinking, oh that sweet Audrey that never cries? Yes, I'm talking about that same Audrey . She puts on quite the act for the family most of the time, for me, she tends to give a little attitude to, shocking, I know. If I pick her up from somewhere she wants to get to, she starts flopping around like a fish out of water, but a fish that screams or yells out. She has also done the, I'm just gonna throw my head back along with my body and hope you catch it move. Now whenever I change her diaper, put her into her car seat, high chair, walker or jumper, she will now start to cry. As I was feeding her this morning I was thinking to myself, where has she learned this? She doesn't run with a bad crowd yet that would be setting a bad example for her. I tell her when she does it, that it's not ok, and we don't act like that. (you can never be to young to learn right from wrong, right)? I'm being hopeful in thinking that she will just get it out of her system a little earlier than normal, haha, I know.
None the less, we still love our baby girl, attitude or not. She is so much entertainment and we couldn't imagine our lives without her.

close calls
My baby girl has been watched over lately, and I don't mean by me. A couple of weeks ago I put Audrey on her changing table, strapped her in and stepped into her closet for a minute to grab her outfit before I put her into the bath. I came back to find her sitting on the edge of her dresser with her butt teetering on the edge with her back ready to slam down on the floor! That little worm had wiggled her way out of the safety strap rolled over and sat up some how.
The other night after I had finished cooking dinner, I left Audrey in her walker alone in the kitchen seriously for a few seconds. As I was heading back into the kitchen, I heard a loud crash. I turned the corner to see her sitting in her walker and my griddle on the floor to the side of her. Luckily the griddle wasn't plugged in and hot, so there's a point for me! I was also relieved to see that it hadn't slammed down on my little Audrey's head. It really could have done some damage, well it did, just not to Audrey thank goodness. Can't say as much for my now broken griddle and my now chipped wood floor because of it.
Everyday is a learning curve for me and the little one, hopefully I catch on a little quicker than she does! Lesson learned this week.....bad things happen when I leave the room.
This is the solid metal griddle that could have cracked Audrey's head...
the first of I'm sure many chips in my wood floor....

standing
Wow that was fast! I just did the blog about Audrey pulling herself up into sitting position on her own, crawling and now the very next day I catch Audrey on video through my baby monitor screen pulling herself up to standing position. Stay tuned....next week may be the walking post! (trying to download the video, but can't seem to)

crawling
Audrey has been on her hand and knees for some time now. She rocks back and forth, tries to go and face plants it. She gets around a room quite well for doing the army crawl, going backwards or just rolling over and over. She has also mastered the sit down roll around and then sit back up move.
Last night while we were at the in laws for dinner, I looked down and watched Audrey do a couple little shuffles with her hands and knees, then she stopped. I took her into the laundry this morning sat her down on the floor and she saw a sock, she took those same 2 little crawls forward. I took her into Bryce and said, "she just crawled", so I sat her down, put the ipad in front of her and she did it again.
She's crawling very little, not all over the house yet nor around the room for that matter, but she's crawling.
Crawling is one of those things that you want your child to do because you don't want them to fall behind but, you really don't want to enter that next step of having to child proof everything and now having to watch there every move.
Let's just hope this isn't like the waving hello and goodbye thing where she did it a few times to Bryce and I and now she won't do it again!
(Audrey still will not hold her bottle, lazy butt)!

Christmas Day-2011
Audrey ready for Christmas Eve dinner which consisted of the same old thing for her, bottle of milk and baby food, BORING! Mine was good though!
church dress
She got this cute little broom set to help mommy one day and of course all she wanted on that was the tag!
cute little dress
she got a new laptop
elmo
we decided to splurge on a new car for Audrey since this was her first Christmas....she thinks she's pretty cool!
We were spoiled rotten this year by each other and of course our parents. We truly do not deserve it. It was fun to celebrate this year with Audrey as well, although she didn't quite get the whole thing and would rather play with the box, paper, bows and tags....it was still fun to finally have her with us and I know it will only get funner over time!
We as a family are so grateful for this time of year and everything that it represents. We are so grateful for our Savior and we hope that we can keep him in our thoughts always and not just at Christmas time.

Crib time
I went into Audrey's room today and this is what I walked into.
Little Audrey pulled herself up into the sitting position and officially does it all the time now, we have had to lower her crib down because we have also found her up on her knees, such a big girl!!!

2011-December activities & pictures
Cutest reindeer I ever saw!!!
We went to the Grand America this year with the Nelson side to do this scavenger hunt through out the hotel, it was fun and warm.
Kendell, Cam and Audrey with Santa
They had this cute little toy store inside the hotel and they had this awful headband, I couldn't resist putting it on Audrey while we all got a good laugh! Sorry if you happen to have this particular one, but it's way to big, who would seriously where that??
in front of the gingerbread house
Temple Square with the Stevensons. We rode Trax and the Frontrunner for a different experience. I always love to see the work that goes into the lights at the temple.
our family riding the frontrunner for the 1st time
