Happy 70th Birthday, Ma!

Audrey's Great Grandma Kipfer turned 70 on Friday! Her Grandma Logsdon also had a birthday on Thursday, but we didn't get a picture!

Happy Birthday to Both!!

So Cute!

Four Month Check Up

Audrey had her four month check up with Dr. Emm on Wednesday. He said that she seems to be a very healthy little girl. He was impressed with her head control - and he called her a big flirt when she smiled real big at him. She listened intently the entire time he talked about her and then she gave him a big smile. This time, she only had to have two shots and one oral injection, so it wasn't nearly as bad as the two month visit!

Audrey seems to be growing great:

Weight - 14 pounds 9 ounces - 75th percentile

Height - 25 inches - 75th percentile

Head - 15 3/4 inches - 35th percentile

Family Vacation

On Tuesday, we got back from our family vacation to Florida! We had a great time!! Audrey was a trooper throughout the trip - couldn't have been a better girl! It was so hard to come home - it was 80 degrees when we left Orlando and 8 degrees when we landed in Bloomington! Thanks, Mom and Dad, for a great trip!

As you can see, Audrey spent a lot of time in her Baby Bjorn. She loves it! Usually, I carry her around in it, but on the trip, we had several other people who were able to give it a try - Kami, Joe, and Candice all carried her around!

We spent the first couple of days in Daytona Beach. The condo was great, but the weather wasn't the best (however, it was better than home!). We mostly did indoor activities those first couple of days, which included shopping for the girls and a tour of the Daytona Speedway for the boys and Candice. We also took Audrey to see her first movie - the entire family went to see Four Christmases on Saturday afternoon. Audrey watched the first half hour and then fell asleep - I think we were lucky!

We spent the last few days at Disney World in Orlando. We had the best time! The weather was near 80. We went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on Sunday night and we were able to walk right on all of the rides at the Magic Kingdom! It was SO much fun. They had free cookies, hot chocolate, and apple juice throughout the park - I think the Joe's drank their admission ticket in apple juice!

Audrey was great on both flights - her Grandma had the magic touch! She slept about an hour on each flight and had no problems! She loved having so much attention during the trip with so many people there loving on her the whole time - she seems a bit bored home with just me!

Joe and I went and picked up Krispy Kreme doughnuts on Saturday morning, so Audrey got to model our hat:

Merry Christmas!

I'm Going to Disney World!

We are all getting excited to head to Florida on Thursday! Mom, Dad, Kami, Joe L., Candice, Joe H., Audrey and I are going on vacation! It will be Audrey's first trip (well, technically second!) to Disney World to meet Mickey. Her Grandma and Grandpa Logsdon got her this Mickey Mouse - she loves her new friend!

Kami's Kitchen

Yesterday, Mom and Dad painted Kami's kitchen in her condo. Audrey and I went along to help, let's just say we weren't much help. Kami was supposed to be studying for her last round of finals, but she took a break to hold Audrey! The kitchen looks great... and Kami only has three finals left until she is a graduate from ISU!! Way to go Kami!

Grandma & Grandpa Hitt Visit

Audrey's Grandma and Grandpa Hitt came down from Green Bay to visit on Saturday night. Unfortunately, I guess we didn't get any pictures while they were here, so this is a picture of Audrey while we were waiting for them to arrive! As you can see, she was looking forward to their visit! Pat and Pat took Elsie home with them so that she doesn't have to go to a kennel when we go to Florida this weekend. So, our house will be a little quieter from now until Christmas!

Although we didn't get any pictures, we got this video!

Grandma and Santa Clause

Audrey and I went shopping with her Grandma yesterday to get out of the house! Audrey LOVES to shop! She has so much fun looking at everything and everyone. It is a great way to get her to sleep good at night. Since we didn't get a picture with the real Santa... this was the next best thing!

Great Grandma & Great Grandpa

On Thursday morning, Audrey and I went to Minier to visit her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Kipfer while her Grandma cleaned their house. Audrey loves to visit them and always has BIG smiles for them! Her Great Grandpa got her a Curious George monkey, which she loved! She went straight for his eyes!

Giant Coke

Audrey decided to have a giant Coke from Casey's for breakfast on Thursday morning! Okay, maybe it was her Grandma's giant Iced Tea from Casey's, but we thought it was funny that the cup was almost as big as she was!

And yes, her hair is looking a little red!

Bed Time!

Audrey is finally getting a little better sleeping at night! She will usually go to sleep between 7pm and 8pm at night and then will wake up for a bottle when we move her up to her bed around 10pm. She still gets up between 2am and 3am for another bottle - but she is usually so hungry that she finishes it in 5 to 10 minutes, so she is quickly back to sleep. She will usually sleep until 6am or 7am - but this morning we were lucky and she slept until 8am!

Johnny Jumper

Audrey was especially bored today, so we decided to try out her Johnny Jumper! She wasn't too sure what to think, but she was kind of starting to like it by the end!
