Big Girl

Audra is such a big girl these days. I don't know how it happened, but I turned around one day and she was no longer a baby. She's gonna be a talker like the boys. Already is - she walks around babbling all day long, even though we have no idea what she's saying (the fact that she is saying something is actually quite obvious). Here are some of the words that Mommy, at least, can understand.

Shzs (shoes)

Jss (juice)

Ha (hair)

Ha (hat) (yes they are the same, but I can generally distinguish which is which)

bup (up)

Buh (book)

Bah (bear)

Ba (blankie) (again, pretty much the same)

I'm actually looking forward to her being able to talk more, because right now her most effective way to communicate is to cry. Um, yeah. We listen to a lot of crying these days.

Here she is on one of the boys' trikes. She has a little scooter that is just the right size for her, but she refuses to use it. In fact, she screams if we try to put her on it. She'd rather climb up on one that is too big and sit there.

And she is such a climber! She's up on everything! We have built in desks and bookcases in our playroom. I continually find her up on the desks, crying because she can't get down. And where is she 5 seconds after I get her down? Right back up there. This is her other favorite, the kid size table in our kitchen.
