Are we seriously 20 months???

Audrey is 20 months old. What?? My baby?? How did that happen exactly? Maybe it seems beyond belief because the petite little squirt is still in some of Natalie's 12 month size clothes. Maybe it's because she's still grunting and pointing (mostly) to get her point across. Or maybe it's because she just started consistently sleeping through the night only 2 short months ago. But whatever the reason, it just doesn't seem possible that we're approaching 2.

She's just delightful. Except when she's not. Then she's the opposite of delightful. But, thankfully, she's mostly delightful.

She's now saying Mommy, Daddy, Nahne (Natalie), DD (TV), mo (more), bahbe (baby), meow (kitty), blahblie (vitamin, if you can believe it), doh (done) and up (up)! She's also saying NO. It was so sweet at first. A little nasally "no" accompanied by a shaking head. It's not really a little NO anymore but, instead, a big, forceful, end-of-discussion-you're-not-going-to-change-my-mind NO! It was only a matter of time, I suppose.

She loves books, baby dolls, coloring, goldfish crackers, slides, kissing goodbye and goodnight, brushing her teeth, emptying the dishwasher (she actually puts the tupperware away herself...and does it very well), picking and eating oranges in our backyard, playing in water, cuddling the cat, taking baths, dancing, singing, and seeing airplanes fly overhead.

She's not so crazy about bugs, getting her hair brushed, getting her face washed, keeping her shoes on, or being kissed when she's not in the mood (she wipes them off!).

Audrey's bed head.

This kid has GREAT bed head.

Notice the perfectly straight bangs amidst all the other surrounding tangled frazzle!

Don't think I don't notice that most pictures of Audrey feature food on her face. She's not incredibly cooperative when it comes to pictures, so I have to snap a photo when she's willing...food face or not!
