Picture Perfect

Two weeks ago my friend Kirsi took Audrey's 1st year photos & they are amazing!!!! We went to Grapevine Botanic Gardens and had a great time. Kirsi also did Audrey's 3 month photos and she is an incredibly talented photographer. You can see more of her work at

Now that the helmet is gone, Audrey can wear cute bows!

"How did this happen?"

This bear played music too- I'm not sure Audrey knew what make of it.

I love this tutu- It says "Happy Birthday" and was filled with confetti.

She had so much fun playing in the fountain.

Isn't this the greatest Father's Day gift?

This and That

Audrey and I both got sick over Spring Break so I did not post an update about it. I loved every minutes of being home with our baby girl. Audrey and I went to the zoo along with my friend Jane and her two boys. It was 1/2 price day and crazy busy, however Audrey was more interested in watching all of the other children. I tried to point out animals a few times but she didn't seem to notice. So we will go again as she gets bigger and hopefully Cory can make the next trip.

The weekend before I went back to work we made a day trip to Lindsay, OK to see Audrey's birthday buddy- her great grandpa E.L. The Shoemake boys were all helping out with the yard and garden while Audrey spent some quality bonding time inside with E.L.

Audrey loves to pull everything off of her window seat.

Great Grandpa E.L. & Audrey- notice she is checking out his magazine. She LOVES paper.

Adios Helmet!

The day has finally arrived. Today was the last day that Audrey had to wear her helmet. For the last 5 months she has worn it for 23 hours a day- with some prolonged helmet-less activities here and there. The flat spot on Audrey's head is not longer noticeable and her doctor was very pleased with the results. She has a beautiful, round head. Now we just need to work on some hair...

"Mom! Stop taking pictures of my head!!!!"- This afternoon after the Dr. appointment

We were considering ASL with Audrey, however she thought gang signs were a better use of her time.
