13 Months!

There's no possible way to list every cute thing that Audrey is doing these days, but we'll try to give you a small glimpse...

It is so neat to watch Audrey figure things out- she's recently learned how to feed herself with a fork, and we've also caught her trying to comb her hair and put shoes on her feet! She is also walking more and more each day. Her latest record is 8 steps, and it seems to increase by a step or two each day. Won't be long before she's running!

We also spend a lot of time in Audrey's new pool- it is the cutest thing ever! Thanks for the recommendation Tracy! :)

Another thing worth mentioning is how much Audrey talks... She is constantly babbling! Pretty much everything is some version of "dada" but mommy can tell what she's saying. :) She can say kitty, duck, doggy, yey, and uh-oh. She loves to clap her hands and feet, and she is learning how to shake her head "no." That should be interesting as her personality (and feisty streak) continues to develop. :)

Here are a few pics!

Cutie pie! :)


Yum yum!


Check out my new teeth!


Don't mess with this one while she's drinking her juice!


Gettin' around!


"Yes, Audrey. That is where your poopoos go."


Climbing!


I see you!


Yey!


Audrey's new pool!




She's figured out that the cats hide under the bed...


And poor Apollo... he honestly thinks he's hidden. :)
This cat deserves a blog all his own!


She's wondering if she's allowed to play in these drawers...


She's allowed! :)

More fun pics to come!
Lots of love to all!

Mother's Day, Anniversary, Disney and Audrey's First Birthday!

May was quite a busy month for the Owen family! We decided to combine Mother's Day, our 7 year wedding anniversary (May 19th! Whoohoo!) and Audrey's FIRST BIRTHDAY (can't believe it) and celebrate with a little trip to our most favorite place on the planet- Disney World! All of these very special occasions happened to fall around the same time as one of Jeremy's trips to Cape Canaveral for business, so Audrey and I tagged along and we made a detour over to Disney. Audrey didn't care much for Mickey, but she LOVED all of the elevators and the free bars of soap in the hotel room. Go figure. :)

We had a small birthday celebration among the three of us on Audrey's actual birthday. We decorated the house, sang happy birthday, devoured some cupcakes- the whole nine yards! Grammy and Grandad visited the last week of May- and spoiled all of us rotten- and we're looking forward to a visit from Nana and Papa in July! I think it's safe to say the birthday festivities will probably last all summer long!

It's impossible to blog all of the fun, hilarious things that Audrey is doing right now... What a fun little personality this girl has! She is figuring things out SO quickly these days- just yesterday she figured out how to comb her hair and feed herself with a fork! She loves to put things on top of her head and say "tada!" and she also says "uh-oh" a lot. She isn't walking on her own yet, but she gets around just fine... and she loves, loves, loves the pool. We'll be swimming A LOT this summer!

Enjoy the pics... :)

Cutie pie!

Swimmin'!

Buzz, Daddy & Audrey

A little siesta in the lobby of the Animal Kingdom Lodge...
Notice the mini crocs! I won't even tell you how much we paid for them,
but when you see them on her tiny little feet- worth every penny!

Breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe- a Disney must!
Audrey thoroughly enjoyed it!

She was a little distracted...

The essential family pic!

We couldn't resist...

At the pool!

Audrey's first trip to the beach... she loved it! She squealed and laughed the whole time!

We decided to have Audrey go shirtless for the cupcake festivities... and it's a good thing we did.

Although most of it went on the floor.

Oh, and we also got a new car (not brand new, just new to us!).
We love it!

That's all for now... Lots of love to all!
The Owens :)
