Girls Day Out

Audrey spent the day with Brent while I had a girls day out at Marcy's. We went out for brunch, went horse back riding and came back to her house for scrapbooking. It was a wonderful time, thanks Marcy for getting us girls together.

Brent and Audrey had fun obviously, she loves hanging with her dad. They walked to the grocery store for supper supplies and watched football.

You know you are a mom when......

what you order at a restaurant depends on what is easy to eat with one hand while holding a baby.

It's been a nice weekend, we enjoyed a date night last night while my parents watched Audrey and today we hung out with some family friends from Estherville and went for a nice walk on the trail. Tonight is going to be Audrey's first night sleeping in her room, wish us luck. I guess wish me luck, I am bummed. I love having her in our room, I wake up and just look right over at her. It will be nice to have her in her room though, I may sleep a little more sound. I hear her every move and it wakes me up.

Jeans

So, exciting news, I can get my old pre-pregnancy jeans buttoned, ha. They are not attractive in the least bit, but I can get them buttoned and that is a huge step. I wasn't even close before. I yelled downstairs to Brent to come up and check them out, they were basically painted on. Things are moving forward:)

Latest Obsession-Hands

Audrey is learning more and more and is now obsessed with those crazy things that are attached to her arms. To her they are simply amazing. She eats them and sucks on them and just stares at them with amazement. It's awesome to watch her learn and figure things out.

We visited the campus at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Brent and I had never really been on that campus and it was kind of fun to walk around. We were really looking for some great fall pictures for his contest at work, but the trees have not changed a ton yet.

Nice Classroom Uncle Curt

Brent took Audrey out to Williams Nature Center this weekend and showed her Curt's outdoor classroom he built for his Eagle Scout project. She loved it, can't you tell.

She seems to love turning on her side when she is sleeping now.

We enjoyed supper on Saturday night with Mindy, Jon, Natalie and Jon's brother Brian and his wife Kate and Mindy's cousin Sarah at BW3. It was fun to see everyone. Today we went on the Mankato Area Tour of Homes. It was fun, gives us many ideas of what we would love to have and would dream of having some day, how do some people afford these homes is what we want to know.

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Audrey slept through the night for the first time, no waking up to eat! It was wonderful, especially since I was up during the night working, so I got as much sleep as possible, she must have known, what a girl.

We have stopped swaddling her at night, so she is free to wear all the fun pajamas she has. We used to put her in a sleep sack that came with a swaddling wrap. I loved it until she could squirm so much that we woke up and it was around her neck, she was happy as could be, but I knew it was time to say goodbye to the swaddle. She looks so darn cute in these footy pj's.

Audrey's eyes are finally turning color, they are brown, finally a trait that mom has! Everyone says how much she looks like Brent which I love, but hey, she got my brown eyes.

My new shoes

Audrey's new shoes that Grandma Bev made for her, actually they are her first pair of shoes, she seems to be loving them:)
