I added pictures of Audrey crawling to my last post.
that's all. :)
and now she has a nasty cough, lots of flem in her throat and it sounds like she's lost her voice...poor thing.

little crawler
she's finally crawling!!!
it was well over a month ago that we were expecting Audrey to be crawling "any day now." she's been so close for so long! she decided to take her time and that's completely ok with us...she's growing up fast enough anyway! we can't wait to chase her around the house!
this is the day before she started crawling, she still wasn't sure what to do!

Audrey's 1st Snow!
OK…it’s not technically the first snow she’s seen but this is the first snow she’s been able to experience. Yesterday around 4:30ish it started snowing so I bundled Audrey up and got her ready for a little snow photo shoot! She didn’t know what to think at first, then she loved it and by the end of the shoot, I took her mittens off and once she touched the snow, she was done with the snow. it was so fun to see her first reactions to snow!

aaaahhh...memories
Seven years ago today, Tyson and I started dating. we were both sophomores in college. he was 20, I was 19. that first day we started dating, we both knew that we would be together forever. we didn't say it to each other that day, but when we talked about that day months later, we both admitted it. aaaahhhh, how sweet.
and I was going to put an old picture of the two of us on here, but Audrey just woke up. sorry.

a new job title
As of today, I am officially a stay-at-home mom!!!
I decided this morning that I would go to my school and see some of my co-workers (and show Audrey off) and if my principal was available, I would tell her that I'm not returning to teach next year. Since I had taught 3 years in the district, I was able to take a one year leave of absence and still have a job waiting for me if I wanted for next fall. I had to tell my principal by March 1 but since I had already made my decision I figured I might as well just tell her and not keep her wondering. Sure enough, she was available and it's a good feeling to have told her and have it over with. She said she wasn't surprised and that she was happy for me. I will always consider myself a teacher and I look forward to returning to it once all of our children are in school. Even today, walking into the school and seeing the other teachers, there was a part of me that missed it, but there's an even larger part that knows I can always go back to work...Audrey will only be little for so long.
So...it's official! I feel so blessed to get to stay at home with Audrey and our future babies. I know not everyone can or even has a choice about staying at home or not, so I am not taking it for granted.
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it's time to babyproof the house!
This morning I was puting some things into the dishwasher when I happened to look over at Audrey, who was happily playing in the living room. and I could barely believe my eyes!!!!
The second picture is about as high as she got. As you can see, her feet are very far apart and she's not very good at balancing yet, so she promptly fell back onto her bottom.
All I can say is that we have a LOT of babyproofing to do around the house!
