Why hello! Long time no see!

April 09, 2011

Alright...so we haven't updated in a while. Well, until two or three weeks ago, I had a long term sub job at Hopkins High School teaching World and U.S. History and Government. Hopkins is about an hour from Ionia, so I was gone 12 hours a day, and during the weekend, when I was home, Steph worked and I babysat Aundrea. So life has been pretty uneventful.

But, we know we cannot deny Aundrea's adoring public for long, so here's a quick post with some pictures from the last few months of our darling daughter. I'll try to do them in somewhat chronological order so you can see how she's grown.

So here's Dr. Drea as she first delves into the realm of baby food. She doesn't eat a whole lot of baby food, as she prefers 'adult' food that has more texture to it (oatmeal, toast, just little bits and pieces of what we eat).

Here are Dr. Drea's crew at church. Asher (middle) and Julia (left).

In February my parents came out to visit for a weekend.

Dr. Drea loves animals!

And what's the point of having 11 ft. ceilings if you can't take advantage of that space? MY DAUGHTER WILL LOVE ROLLER COASTERS!! SHE WILL!! Hehehe...I'm making sure of that.

So while my parents were here, we spent hours training Aundrea and Otto to do this Synchronized Faces routine (We were going to take the act on tour...but we didn't want Aundrea turning out like Lindsey Lohan or Hannah Montana). Here's what we got:

*Sigh* As you can see, Aundrea always lost it at the end. Otto clearly grew frustrated with her lack of professionalism.

Some other news is that in the last week Aundrea has learned how to crawl! It was not a painless process. For weeks Aundrea could only utilize reverse, which led to some awkward situations.

But finally, there was success. She is now much more difficult to keep track of. I have also grown amazed by Drea's instinctual ability to recognize what she isn't allowed to play with. It's like a sixth sense. I have dubbed this sixth sense "The Chaoticus Sense"TM.
