Well, Miss Audrey is already 6 months old. So, it's time for a bit of an update. Audrey is such a wonderful little addition to our family. Geoff and I are both entirely smitten with this little chica. She's easy-going and smart and so busy. She loves attention and is very pleased with herself when she completes a goal (like getting to the cable in the corner that looks so tantalizing).

| She's crazy about him. |
At her 6th month appointment she weighed in at 14 lbs 6 oz and 27 inches long. So, she's not a big baby weight-wise, but she is long.

About a month ago she learned that she could roll to get around and now she doesn't stay put for very long. Will was pretty much stationary until he could crawl at 9 months (he scooted on his back a bit, but didn't venture far), so this has been an adjustment for us to have
a little one getting around the house. She's started pulling those knees up a little bit under her, too, so crawling is probably sooner than we'd like to think.

We started introducing solids a few weeks ago as well. She LOVES to eat. She's mostly had cereals and fruits and veggies at this point, but she gets very excited when you put her in her chair to eat. She's messy, too, because she wants to help so much.
She's a little obsessed with cups and if you are drinking while holding her you have to watch out. However, she's also easily entertained if you give her a cup to play with.

| Sweet lady |
She's a little tentative around strangers and reserves her grins and giggles for those who she knows the best. When we are out and about we often get told that she "looks like a cabbage patch doll" or that she "should be a Gerber baby." The combination of her loads of hair and her big, expressive eyes seem to give off that doll vibe.

| Will's a good helper |
We are just crazy about this little lady and Will is, too. He has to give her a kiss before she goes to bed at night. If she's crying, he'll give her her pacifier and shout "I helped baby feel better!" or he'll come find Geoff or I and tell us that we need to "Go help baby." He sometimes calls her "Baby Kookoo" (thanks, Geoff), but then he'll laugh and say, "No. Her name is Baby Audrey." Now that she can get into his toys he's gotten a little possessive if she's got one of his cars, but he's always gentle and careful around her.

So, there's your little update on our growing little lady. We're so glad she's here.
