Avery Driving

Can you tell Avery was having a good time?

Also a pic of the girls watching TV. We don't have the TV on very often, and when we do, they are both addicted. It is quite cute to watch them!

Audrey Goes to the Dentist

Audrey went to the dentist today. I was just crossing my fingers that she would cooperate enough to open her mouth for the dentist to get a good look at her teeth. She did better than that! Iain's mom helped get Audrey situated in her chair and the dentist let Audrey hold her hands under the light, and tapped the 'scraper' and the 'polisher' on Audrey's fingernails so she wouldn't be scared of them. Audrey opened her mouth and let the dentist count her teeth, polish her teeth (with the electric polisher, waterpik, dentist-air-sucker, and all) and floss her teeth! Audrey was a champ!! She left with her own bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and a 'prize' (she originally chose a little ball, but she changed her mind and we had to go back and trade it out for a watch). Anyway, no cavities (for me either)!

Pix of these Girls

So big news this week ... Avery went to sleep all by herself on Sunday night and slept all the way through the night! Woo-hoo! She's standing up all the time now (just straight standing ... not pulling herself up) and Iain saw her take one step yesterday. What a smart girl! Audrey cracks us up with some of the things she says now ...yesterday, she was putting on her bathing suit, and then decided she didn't really like it, and got another one out of her drawer. As she was starting to put on the second one, she declared "much better!" So cute! She also knows a ton of songs now (or at least parts of tons of songs), and she always wants us to sing to her or turn on a CD.

Here are a few pix from the last few days. We all went to the pool last night and it must have been 90 degrees (no kidding), which is nice until I remember we're PAYING to get it that hot ... =)

Audrey Dancing / Audrey & the Cat Door

Nothing but cuteness here. (Note Audrey's 2-sizes-too-small bathing suit ... we were cleaning out drawers and she found a bathing suit that Avery should grow into by the summer, but that Audrey would have outgrown a year ago).

Some pix from this week

Avery Crawling

Avery started "real" crawling exactly one week ago. Here's a little video of her from this morning.

Stairs and Sunscreen

Here's a quick video of Audrey coming down the stairs yesterday, and a video from the day before of Audrey putting suncreen on Avery in PetSmart.
