Baby Steps with Help! / Week 42

Not enough pictures this week! Lots of movie clips, but not enough pictures!


Sweet Audrey is so much fun! She's crawling much better in just this last week and loves to stack toys, put balls down ramps, and hand mommy toys.


She's a pretty great selfie buddy, too!


Clara wanted to look like Elsa!



And we had a really fun mommy / bff play date with Miss Amy and Cami at Target! The place where moms go to let their children be happy. Or at least we did.


We also did some running in the mall!


And an impromptu lunch!


Daddy took Clara on a daddy-daughter date on Saturday and bought her this awesome book!


Mommy and Audrey took pictures!



Audrey has started taking some baby steps with help! She's now done 3 weeks in the nursery and is a rock star! She helps mommy “put away toys” by putting her toys in baskets and buckets around her. But sometimes she just likes to take toys out and transfers them to another bucket and then back again! She likes to pat the ground to mimic mommy patting the ground. I'm trying to get her to crawl to me, but she just pats the ground and smiles at me! She also flips the pages of books the right way when mommy and Audrey are reading together! So smart! Her favorite book is the Very Hungry Caterpillar because she can stick her fingers in the tiny holes. She loves doing that. She also loves taking off her socks and just learned how to pull to standing in her crib!


In the bath, she fills her cup up with bath water and then tries to drink it! We stop her of course!



She is very wiggly and it's very hard to get her weekly picture done!






Clara's language just gets better and better! We were talking to her and asking her a bunch of questions, trying to incentivize her to do something. Shane asked her, "Do you want to go to Disneyland or the guitar store?" Clara said, "The guitar store. But daddy we already went to the guitar store today." Which was true!!! But the way she understood the concept and articulated it perfectly just floored both of us! She still loves going to school and even switched into the big kid (3 to 5 year old) class at church this past Sunday. She is a doll and lovesss her princesses right now. We just introduced her to Beauty and the Beast :).
