What a big week!

So what started off to be a terrible week is turning out to be pretty awesome. On Sunday Audrey woke up with a terrible runny nose (first one ever.) She took a good morning nap but absolutely refused her afternooner. She has been such a solid and routine sleeper that I was completely thrown off. Luckily her nighttime sleep was uninterrupted (lucky for ME.) I was worried that she had a cold but when I looked at her gums, there were 2 white teeth getting ready to poke thru!! Pretty exciting. So now Audrey has 2 bottom and 3 top teeth. At what point do I need to worry about braces?

Tonight we were playing after dinner and trying to get her to stand by herself. I was taking regular snapshots...





...when all of a sudden she took TWO steps!! Chris and I looked at each other like, "Did that just happen?!?"




So, we're pretty excited. I'm still completely dreading the walking phase, but it's just so much fun when you see your baby do new things! What a fun milestone...

Time is flying by!

Not much to report on the Burns home front. Audrey is great. Soon she'll be one, which means I need to start planning her birthday party. Then of course the holidays are right around the corner. It's such a busy time of year, but I love it.


In deep conversation with Papa




"MMMMMMMMMMMM"

10 month photo shoot

Such a doll baby!!

Happy Halloween!

Audrey is so cute as a ladybug, it's scary!!



We had pictures taken with her 2 cousins, Bella (9 months) and Skylar (11 months)








We had a busy day! We spent the morning at my school's Fall Festival. She loved watching all the games and seeing all the kids. Then we celebrated Grandpa's birthday by going to Captain Billy's for dinner. She was exhausted by the time we got home and slept like a rock. Next year we might actually try trick-or-treating!

Happy 10 months!

I can't believe that Audrey is 10 months! The time is flying by, but I love it. Each month gets better and better. Audrey is so much fun! I love when she does new things. She can now stand by herself for short periods of time (she won't actually stand herself up, we have to help her!) It's pretty amazing!

Some pics from our lazy Saturday at home:


Breakfast: yogurt/fruit/cereal, toast with jelly, juice, eggs, and Cheerios

Crashing the block party, literally:



"You're telling me there's no candy in this house, srsly?"


"I'm going to find me some candy!"


"In the stove, perhaps?"


"I can stand and read at the same time!"


Later that night we carved our first family pumpkin...







The finished product! Good job, Dada!

One of my all time favorites!

WVa Trip, Part 2

It was cold, rainy, and dreary, but the view was absolutely gorgeous!

Saturday was the actual reunion with lunch at Pipestem Lodge.


On the way to lunch!




Uncle Jason came over to blow bubbles for Audrey....as you can tell, she loved them.


She loved playing with cousin Nina's exersaucer.


She's trying to be veeeery quiet...see the deer?


Playing with Nina!





We traveled home on Sunday and Audrey did great. We had a fun time seeing our family. See you next year!
