Dear Audrey,


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
1) Whenever you are hurt, you think a kiss from Mom makes everything better
2) You are very expressive. You make the cutest facial expressions
3) You call your Daddy "Prince Charming" 60% of the time. When you wake up in the morning, you call from your crib, "Prince Charming!" He really is our Prince Charming
4) You know everyone’s name and who they are married to
5) When I ask you what you want for breakfast, every morning you say, "Um, waffles, cottage cheese, ogurt (yogurt) and syrup!"
6) You love to come to the Dr with me and listen to Brother's "heart beep"
7) You still love to cuddle
8) Every day you point to the heater in your room and say, "No push the buttons, only mommy and daddy"
9) You are very inquisitive. You want to know "what happen?", and you are always asking me, "Where is him?" or "Where is her?"
10) You are starting to outgrow this, but I love how you mix up pronouns. You used to say, "Audrey do it" then, "I do do". Or if you needed my help or wanted me to carry you, you would say, "Help you! Carry you!"
11) You sing, "I wuv you" to the tune of "This Old Man" and it melts my heart
12) This morning you saw a necklace I wore to Aunt Rachel's wedding and you asked if you could get married someday and I asked who you wanted to marry and you said, "Daddy!"
13) You say the words, "good, home" and "food" like they are two syllable words, "gooda, homea" and "fooda"
14) Your "L"'s sound like "H"'s so you are constantly pointing to things and saying, "Hook it!"
15) When I ask you a question, you used to say, "yeah" then it progressed to a "yeeepppp" and now you give a very definitive answer of "yes"
16) You will make a great big sister. Everyday we talk about Brother and you always say you want to help feed him, give him a tub tub, and take him to go see Santa
17) You are the joy of our lives and I love you more every day
This list could go on forever. I love you so much.
Love,
~Mom

What a doll! No I didnt do the hearts on our window like that on purpose...but now I am impressed with myself. I mostly did it so Connor couldnt reach them! He is a little destroyer. Its so fun to see how different girls and boys are!
