What Audrey's Doing Now...

It is the craziest thing, I honestly feel like Audrey turned from a baby to a toddler overnight! She is on the verge of turning 14 months (who new I would do the month thing after a year, but I am one of those mom's it turns out) and I look in awe at her daily.

So right now, she is:

Walking - Now that she is walking, a whole new world has opened up to her. She can all of the sudden reach door handles, things on the counter and much much more. She unfortunately has inherited my klutzy-ness and falls down quite a bit, but she bounces right back up and keeps going. It's amazing the confidence she has now and how thrilled she is with herself.

Milk & Sippy Cup's - We are completely phased into the world of milk and sippy cups (and have been for awhile now). She LOVES her milk and is drinking a TON of it. We are going thru a gallon a week and she is at Nancy's during the day so I think that is a lot? She loves her sippy cup, though I have yet to find the perfect one that doesn't look like a bottle or spill all over the floor, my car, me, etc. Recommendations for your favorites would be quite helpful!

Stacking/Lids/Containers/etc. - She loves putting things into each other (like stacking cups, anything into a box or bag or Tupperware, etc.) then taking them out. She will sit there for a long time concentrating just with a lid to her sippy cup and the cup itself, putting the lid on and then off, on and then off, it's crazy. She has also figured out how to take lids off, which is great for her motor skills or whatever, but you now give her a tube of toothpaste with the lid on (which used to be great fun) and turn around and the lid is off and she is sucking all the toothpaste out. Time to get some new play things, eh?

Words - She is saying hi and waving which is pretty cute (except at the grocery store when she does it to every stranger there and then I have to say hi too). She still "talks" a ton, but there aren't a ton of words coming out. We are at da-da, ma-ma (VERY rarely the little bugger), hi, and then yeah and yum sometimes.

Mealtime - She is veering away from being the stellar eater that she was. She still eats pretty well, but definitely way less then she used to. She loves forks & spoons and seems to get the concept of them, though has not mastered the actual piercing or scooping that you do with them.

Temper - With all the cuteness, this little ones seems to be starting the temper tantrums a bit early. Which my mother loves because she says it is payback for all of the ones I did with her:) She will literally lay on the floor screaming and crying and the other night she started kicking her feet as I thought only a 2 year old was capable of... Ugh...
