I love my girls.
Audrey is 19.5 months old. She now has 11 teeth. Four one year molars, four on top in front and now three on bottom in front. She is wearing 18 month clothes, but still fits in her 12 month clothes! She has a size 5 shoe. Her hair is so long now! If she did't mind me doing anything to it, I could probably braid it, but a simple clip will have to do. She is talking a lot! She says the beginning of words. For example, she will say "col" for "cold". She loves baby dolls, shoes, berries, climbing, reading the beginning of books, laughing, copying her sister (good, bad, and ugly), splashing in the tub, showing me her artwork, and singing her night night songs. She hates lawn mowers, barking dogs, cheese, the car (although, that is getting better), diaper changes, and being told no. Audrey experiences life more intensely. When she is happy, she cheers, laughs, claps, dances, and sings, showing her cute little dimples. When she is mad, she screams, falls down to roll on the floor, grabs and hits anyone in sight. She already knows how to say sorry!
I love you, Audrey Diane.
Addison kept doing a fake smile, so I told her to laugh in this one. Addison will be four in 49 days. She is so excited. She wants her ears pierced. Her hair is getting very long too. I trim it every few months, but she still wants it to be as long as Rapunzel's. I tell her the potty is the limit! She loves her blankie Apa still very dearly, moving-leg Barbie, coloring, writing her name (well just Addi) in all uppercase with a heart at the end, ballet class, strawberries, hair clips and all other accessories, fancy dresses (she wears dresses every day), walking Stella, getting her sister to play her games, nightgowns, and books. She hates meat, when Audrey grabs something from her, when I take a marble from her for disobeying. She is a very smart girl and I have a hard time keeping up with her pace! For the most part, Addison is still a sweet, quiet and observant person, but she knows how to let loose and have fun when she's with family.
I love you, Addison Jane.
Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Barber for the cute dresses and shoes!
This really is how Audrey kisses...they are the only wet and toothy kisses I like :)
Getting distracted by airplanes.
I don't want to forget what life is like at this stage. My house is still a mess most of the time. I still shower every 36-48 hours instead of 24. I still have no idea what I'm making for dinner most nights. I still regularly have two laundry baskets full of clean clothes to fold and put away. I can get my 10K-15K steps just in my house trying to play with the girls while also trying to clean up after them! My life is chaotic, but I love spending my days with these girls. Thank you Andrew for supporting our family and making this possible.
We disobeyed the recommendations of the American Pediatric Association and turned Audrey to forward facing a few weeks ago. It has made driving a much more pleasant activity.
Addison loves that her new harness to booster seat has cup holders!
I also love these hairy girls...
