7 months 1 week and change: Reminiscing

Looking back at "old" videos of Audrey always amazes me. She has changed SO much in just 7 short months. I know, I know...we all say that. But seriously, she has become her own little person and not this little alien that goes cross eyed or passes out every 3 seconds.
My new little human just 2 days old:

7 months 5 days: New tricks

She's growing up so fast. Up until now I've refused to acknowledge it. My baby will stay tiny and immobile and quiet forever.

Sadly and excitedly, those days are over and we are on to bigger and better and louder things.

I present you with Audrey's new tricks:
1. Making the wah-wah-wah sound with her hand and mouth
2. Feeding herself puffs
3. All whilst chattering and telling some sort of story

She's obviously some sort of genius.

7 months 3 days: Has it really been that long?

It's official. I am the worst blogger on the planet. I diligently (well, attempted diligence counts) transcribed the ins and outs of my pregnancy for the better part of 2008, only to drop the ball once Audrey arrived. Now I find myself avoiding this thing all together in hopes that I won't be reminded of all the things I've already forgotten about my sweet baby's 7 months so far.

If I don't blog now then I don't have to remember that I also didn't blog about her first giggle, the first time she sat up, her new obsession with peaches, the tooth that's coming in....it's a vicious cycle.

So in the interest of a valid attempt at getting caught up, here are Audrey's monthly pictures (See! I may not be a complete failure at documenting my daughter's first year!).....

Yeah. I'm already a few days late on 7 months but have no fear. I'll get around to it before she turns 8 months....probably.

A few things worth noting:

Notice the alien-like 1 month picture in comparison to the chubbified 4 month picture. Is that the same baby?

She's not at all a fan of the camera - as evidenced by her 6 month picture.

Just after each of these pictures were taken, she attempted a nose dive off of the side of the chair. She succeeded 30% of the time.
