Audrey loves going outside and swinging on the swing in the backyard. She loves pointing at different things and telling me about it. She loves walking over to the bookshelf with her books, picking a book, and bringing it to us. Sometimes, she sits through the whole book other times she sits for (maybe) a page. Currently her favorite book is a Dora book "A Nadar Boots!" Evan loves it when she brings that book over to him to read ;)Despite the fact that the book is all in Spanish and I try to speak to her in Spanish throughout the day, most of her words are in English. The other day I tried writing down all the words I've heard her say and there are 29 on my list but I keep remembering some when I don't have to list. Only 5 of them are in Spanish. Some of my favorite words to hear her say are Hi, Wow!, elbow (el-whoa), si (but she says si's) and cheese (to smile for a pic). Her favorite words are eyes, nose, no, and shoes. She says most words spontaneously but not all the time. Lately, since she is trying to repeat things, I try to get her to repeat names and words.
Another favorite activity is watering the flowers in the front of the house. She picks up the watering can and says (agua)"Awa, awa." Last week she started saying our neighbor's name. These last two days they (kind of) play together. (I say that with a very loose interpretation) They run to the same corner and sit. Audrey loves babies. She wants to hug them, and by hug them I mean lay her head on them. Then she sends kisses their way. I'm hoping it is a promising sign for her sibling.
That's another new thing since last post. Audrey is a big sister. I am crossing my finger that I get to find out the sex of the baby this Friday but I'm not actually scheduled for an ultrasound. I'm hoping they say sure we can do one. After all I'll be in the same place they do them. If not, I (and you) will have to wait until the end of December.
My time is up. Until next time!
