Ms Witschorke: July 2009

What a Year!

I wanted to post some pictures of the past year of Audrey's life. I was stunned at how much she has changed over such a short time period. She makes me laugh everyday. She had her 1 year check up and here are her stats:

Wt: 20 lbs, 1 oz. (a little on the light side, but she eats like a horse!)

Ht: 29 1/2 inches

Head: 45 1/2

We have started feeding Audrey a little of what B and I eat. So far she loves tilapia, mashed potatoes, squash, zucchini, Popsicles, peaches, cantaloupe, hamburgers, steak, eggs, chicken all Mexican foods (specifically guacamole and cheese enchiladas) and a few others that I can't remember. She does really good with trying new things, but textures of the food is a major deciding factor on weather or not she finishes eating it. The only drawback of feeding her big girl foods is that she now gives us big girl diapers!

Enjoy the pictures!

mo-mo (more...he says it twice)
no
baby
bubba (what we call Will)

pooo (pool)
poopoo...yep

da (dog...and makes the barking noise)
neigh (when he sees a horse)
mmm (when he sees a cow)

18 Months Old

Yep, today Will is 18-months-old.

Stats
Weight: 29.5 lbs (85th%)...Ella at 3 years old 29.0 lbs
Height: 35" (+95th%)...Ella at 3 years old 36.8"
Head: 19.75" (90th%)...Ella at 3 years old 18.8"

Yep, my 18-month-old is as big as my 3-year-old. Wow.

Oh, and for you moms...he wears a size 8 shoe...crazy, especially since Ella wears a 4!!

My kids love the mall!

....okay, maybe just the play area at the mall.

Puzzle Pieces

Our sweet neighbors have a boy named William, but he's a teenager now. They found this old puzzle of his and brough it over so that our William could enjoy it. We think it's GREAT!

Dress Up

Ella had taken this off...Will decided he needed to put it on over his clothes.

Pump It Up Jr.

We love this place. It wears out William...and he sleeps for HOURS afterwards. Oddly, this car is his favorite part.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Today was Audrey's 1st birthday! We had a picnic style swim party for her and her friends. Everyone had a great time. Audrey was a little confused about everything. Mainly she just didn't understand why everyone wanted to play with her toys. I had to hide the very popular "walker" toy. That is Audrey's favorite toy and it was a big hit with the other kids as well. All in all it was super fun and I hope everyone enjoyed it and that all the kids are taking long naps this afternoon!
