You can do it!

Audrey is trying to stand on her own, she usually uses something to hold on to, but lately she goes into this funky yoga pose.

She always seems to find that pacifier no matter where I put it:)

Funny face

Level 2

That's right, Level 2 of The Shred today is complete. Wow, I thought level 1 was hard. I worked up a serious sweat today. I am now on day 8 of the shred. I skipped yesterday since Brent was gone all day and I didn't feel like working out last night at 9. I jumped up to level 2 just for that reason.

One week of level 2 and then I will try and do level 3 for the rest of the 3o days, we'll see if I can do it.

Movie Star

Audrey got some new shades for summer, doesn't she look like Elton John?

Saturday Mindy, Jon and Natalie stopped in for a quick visit. Here Natalie is trying to teach Audrey how to roll the ball back and forth.

This was a great weekend, I didn't have to go into work at all. Not many weekends that I am on call that I don't have to go in at all. Brent could have used better weather for the Ironman bike ride today. He rode 100 miles starting in Lakeville. It was a really long, cold, ride but he finished after two flat tires, unlike a lot of the guys he was with.

Today Audrey and I enjoyed brunch with my parents, coffee with Brent's family, shopping with Heidi and Lucy, a two hour nap, and supper with Brent's parents.

Day 4 of the Shred

Today is day 4 of the 30 Day Shred, it's going really well, I was really sore the last few days, but today I am doing much better. In a couple days I will be ready for level 2, I hope! Here are some photos from our week so far since I always feel like I need to post pictures. Their will be no pictures of me shredding, ha.

Prunes, yummy. I have been steaming vegetables and grinding them in the magic bullet and Audrey usually gags. Tonight I steamed carrots and put a little brown sugar in them and she actually ate a couple more bites than usual before gagging. We will keep trying.

Audrey loves my magnetic name tag.

30 Day Shred

I started the 30 Day Shred today, it's a workout video with Jillian from the Biggest Loser. I am incredibly sore. I can see how this will do wonders if I keep up with it. Wish me luck! It's a 20 minute work out daily with abs, strength and cardio, it's great for me because I have a hard time lately finding enough time to dedicate to going to the gym. The days I can get to the gym will be great because I will also do the video, so it's double the work out.

Nine Months

I can't beleive my little baby is nine months old, wow! We had her 9 month check up today and thankfully their were no shots. She is still measuring in the 99% for her height and weight, 30 inches long and 24.8 lbs. She is a healthy girl so that is good. I guess when she turns one she doesn't need whole milk, we move right into the 2% since she is big enough already.

Audrey is learning so much now, she is starting to copy things we do. The last few days it seems like she just cracks herself up, she laughs all the time. Now that she can crawl, daycare said she loves it when they open the door from her room to the big muscle room, Audrey just goes cruising out there as fast as her knees will get her there. She is even stealing food from her friends. She is getting to try all kinds of new foods at daycare, they will grind up whatever the big kids are eating, today she loved the scalloped potatoes. Lots of foods she just gags when we feed her them, so we'll keep trying.

Hooray for Easter!

This is Audrey's latest trick, she throws her hands up in the air, it's hilarious. She basically just started it today, so we thought maybe she just loves Easter that much. We had a great day hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma Wood and Curt and Christine. We finished off the night with Grandpa and Grandma Sonnek because it was grandma's birthday today. Audrey loved having a little cake and ice cream. She was exhausted after a really fun day.

We could not get Audrey to smile in her super cute dress, but she did give a wave to the camera.

Finished product

I never put a picture on of the finished deck, so here it is. We can't wait to hang out on it, althought we wouldn't mind if someone bought our house and we didn't get to hang out on it.

Weekend is over

I know I always say this, but the weekends just go by too fast, especially the weekends that I don't work. Saturday Brent competed in the YMCA indoor triathlon while Audrey and I went with my mom to a church garage sale, we got tons of new shoes for Audrey. She is loving her new sneakers.

Today we went to the hospital to visit Brent's cousin who is in the hospital. We did get to see her little baby girl Emily who is just the tiniest baby:) We took Audrey to the pool at the Y and she just loves swimming. It wore her out and Brent and her took a nap for about 2 hours.

Now that Audrey is crawling the cats are starting to realize they are not so safe anymore with her around. She is cruising all over the place, time to start baby proofing our house.



We just can't retire these super tight pj's. They are so small, but so darn cute the tighter they get:)

Audrey's little car, she is big enough for it, but doesn't have the coordination for it yet.

Look what I can do!

That is right, tonight I finally took off, I can crawl!!!!!!!

Don't mind my annoying voice, why is it that we always find our own voice annoying on video? Also, we seem to have a clip of Audrey coughing at the end in different pj's, oh well, you understand, AUDREY CAN CRAWL, AHHHHHHHHHHHH!.
