Growing Up

When you see a child everyday sometimes it's hard just to see how much they are growing. Audrey in the last 2 weeks has changed so much that even I have had to take notice. She is saying a lot of words, she started having a much longer attention span, and she has become very opinionated about certain things. She loves to have a say in what she wears- sometimes she makes me change her clothes half way through the day just because she sees something she likes better in her closet.  She loves shoes and likes to be in charge of picking out the shoes for the day for everyone in the house.  She has decided that Blues Blues is the best thing ever- she LOVES cats and dogs (in theory more then in person) and loves the fact that this whole show is about a blue dog. She has started playing with Duplos (toddler legos) and every time she pulls them out she immediately digs through the boxes looking for the cat.  

She is sweet and nurturing- she loves taking care of her baby dolls. If anyone around her cries- even children she doesn't know she creases up her forehead and is very concerned. She doesn't feel better until she knows that the baby is being taken care of. 

She thinks she can say anything and gets really frustrated if I don't understand the words. If she wants something really badly she will get about 1 inch away from your face and repeat it slowly with a big smile on her face. Yeah she knows how to manipulate me!
