11 weeks

Wow, pretty flowers to look at while I bathe!
Can I eat them?
Do I look like my Daddy or what?
Speaking of Daddy, we like to play XBOX together!

Too Cute

At 10 weeks Audrey already knows how to ham it up for the camera!
Once you help her get the rattle in her hand, she really goes to town with it.

Her fingers are a never-ending source of entertainment.

Swing!

Audrey finally likes the swing our friend Jennifer let us borrow.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
We thought it was funny how she was still holding on even after she fell asleep.

2 month Check-Up

Audrey had her two month well-baby check-up today. She has gained over 2 pounds and grown one inch since last month! She now weighs 10 pounds and 7 ounces and is 22 inches long. She also had her first round of vaccinations. After the initial screaming and shock, she tolerated the shots better than I expected. She was a lot sleepier today and fussier this afternoon than her normal self. But she started to coo and smile again this evening once she had a little Tylenol and a long nap. I have also lost another 3 pounds for a total of 30 since she was born. I go back to work in 3 weeks and I'm not sure any of my scrubs will fit! One of the few times I am looking forward to shopping for new clothes. :)

Church Baby Blessing

Reverend Wendy Scraggs blesses Audrey

Reverend Suzi Goldt introduces Audrey to the congregation.

Audrey was given her first Bible and a plaque displaying the meaning of her name, noble strength and Holy One. It also has the scripture Ezekiel 36:27- "I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances".

Talking to Granny Jo

My first Mother's Day was great! Aunt Lugene and Papa Curtis from Denver flew out for the weekend. We had a lot going on! Audrey had her two month old portrait taken. Not that I am biased or anything, but I think she is absolutely adorable! Audrey was blessed and dedicated in church today. And then we had a family cookout at my parents' courtesy of Travis. And tomorrow is my parents' 35th wedding anniversary! Here are some pics of the weekend's festivities. One of these days I will learn how to rotate the pictures the correct way. It's too late in the night to figure it out now... Lugene and my mom have some good pictures too. Hopefully I will get those posted as well.

Playtime for Audrey!

I love my toys!
Nanny nanny boo boo

Tummy time is hard!
Naps with Daddy are the best...
Wow, what does this thing do?

There's a baby somewhere in there...
Awwww...
Play time is exhausting!


At 8 weeks Audrey has really found her voice! She loves playtime and talking to Mommy and Daddy and her toys. And your heart just melts when she smiles.

Everyone is HAPPY!

Audrey started sleeping 6-7 hours at 6 weeks and now this week, at 7 weeks old, she is sleeping 7 or 8 hours at night! It has been great! She loves her musical toy that lights up. She loves to "talk" to it. She also started smiling the last couple of weeks. It's hard to catch her on camera, But we tried...

4 Cool Chicks

The KU Jayhawks won the NCAA College Basketball Tournament on April 7, 2008. Mom and I went to Lawrence to see the celebration the next day. However, it was cold and rainy so we decided to visit Granny Jo and Pa and watch the celebration on tv. Here we are, 4 generations of Jayhawks all decked out!
