Indiana Jones

Audrey's teacher informed me this morning that her nickname is "Indiana Jones". She's the little explorer. When I picked her up yesterday, all the other babies were sitting nicely on the play mat. Where was Audrey? She was heading into the tunnel of the obstacle course. I've learned to let her go thru, meet her at the other end, and THEN pick her up. This takes considerable restraint on my part since I go thru Audrey withdrawal each day at work.

She's becoming increasingly restless on the car rides. This morning, she work up earlier than usual and was fighting her typical nap on the way to daycare. I used my one-handed pacifier move a half dozen times, but she had no interest in her pacifier. So, her protest of being restrained in the car seat resulted in my singing Barbara Ann for ~15 minutes straight. She was quiet so I thought she was asleep. She began to protest though when I stopped serenading her. She's the only one that will tolerate my singing (and, frequent repetition of the one and only verse I know!).

Audrey is looking more like an inchworm these days while crawling. She scoots her butt up in the air as she inches along. Quickly, that is.

It's hard to remember what life was like without this little girl.
