4th Annual Salsa Competition

We had the 4th annual Wood Salsa Competition this year and it was a success. Bev won, the first time a Wood has won this. Woo hoo, way to go Bev!

We had a great time, thanks everyone for coming!

Sleepover

Audrey had her first sleepover at Grandpa and Grandma Sonnek's last night. I know, it's about time right? We dropped her off last night and headed out on a super romantic date to the casino. It was funny how we could not think of anything to do for the entire night without Audrey. We had fun and I think she did too, but she definately missed us, she bawled when we left. She knew something was up when we packed up her blanket and puppy.

Thankful for fun times with this little gem!

We have lots to be thankful for, I just had to share this fun video of bath time this week.

We are enjoying a nice quiet Thanksgiving at home, just the 3 of us. It happens to be my holiday to work this year, so I am on call today and our families were all heading out of town. I have not had to work yet, so we enjoyed a great lunch until Audrey started chucking her food all over the kitchen. We put a stop to that, it's naptime now.

I made my first turkey ever, 13 lbs. It turned out really great and we had all the fixings to go along with it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Decisions, Decisions....

The Snuggie, the Softie Wrap, the Snuggler, or the Cuddle Blanket? haha, these things crack me up, who knew their were so many options out there. The ads came out today and I guess their are many versions of the Snuggie, the least expensive is the Cuddle Blanket for only $2.99.

Nice Day!

Today it seemed so warm outside, so we took advantage this morning and went for a nice walk in Rasmussen Woods. Audrey suprised us both and walked so well with us all the way to the gazebo. It is a wood chip path and Brent and I both thought she would be so distracted picking up wood chips along the way, but she just kept on walking and walking and walking. She would not hold my hand though, I don't know if it was my scary mittens or she just wanted to be buddies with dad. She held his hand the entire walk. The way back she rode on dads shoulders.

This afternoon we hit up Sibley Park to check out the animals, she learned to feed the goats. Then she just started picking up corn along the path and trying to eat it herself, gross. We put a stop to that and went to the playground for a bit.

We ended the day with some spaghetti with Grandpa and Grandma Wood, yummers.

I'm a big girl now!

Audrey is growing up sooo much lately. She has been trying to put her own shirts on, she is obsessed with fleece sweatshirts. We have to hide them away at night or she would want to wear them all to bed. We have been working on her eating skills with a regular cup and silverware. She is able to pick things up with a fork now, but she then grabs the food off the fork with her hands and eats it. Atleast she is getting the process down. She can drink out of a regular little cup, but only with a very small amount in the cup.

The greatest thing lately is getting a goodnight kiss. When we put her to bed at night we both ask for a kiss and her pacifier just drops out of her mouth and she is more than happy to dish out kisses, but that is about the only time. It's still wonderful.

The toddler room is wonderful for Audrey at daycare. I love getting a schedule every week of their daily activites. This week has been sports week. Every day they focus on a sport and learn all kinds of new activities.

Audrey loves music and loves us singing to her. Lately we have been singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat and before we are even done she starts signing "more". I think we could sing that song for an hour straight and she would let us.




Trying to get that darn fleece on. It really adds static to the hair.

Is this right mom?
