I'm 5-Months Old

Audrey is now 5-months old. She is rolling over all the time and she has been gumming toys and my fingers to death. And all that gumming is for a good cause. I see two little teeth starting to poke through on the bottom gum. Soon my little girl will have teeth! It's so hard to believe. She continues to enjoy her rice cereal. I'm looking forward to trying some new foods in the future. Hope you enjoy these 5-month pictures.

Pretty in Pink

Eating my toes... even through my dress

Not too modest... showing our tummy

Notice the white trash quality of this picture; just a bib and diaper. But as you can tell from her face, she gets cereal everywhere. Therefore, why wear clothes if you're just going to get food on them :) Besides, it's bath time next.

Yum, Mommy. Keep it coming!

First Cereal

While we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Maryland, we tried rice cereal for the first time. Audrey actually ate quite a bit of it on her first try. And since then, we've enjoyed rice cereal everyday for at least one meal. This first picture was after the first bite. She's not sure what to think of it.


Of course, by the end of it, she had more on her face than in her mouth. She's learned that she likes the feel of putting her hands or her feet in her mouth with the cereal. We're trying to discourage those bad table manners!

It looks like she's signalling for "More, please" in this picture! That or she's amazed by her own finger... who knows what's going on in that mind!

Vacation to Maryland - Part 2

After spending a week in Potomac, Maryland with all the family, we drove to the shore to vacation in Ocean City, MD. Wes, Audrey and I had a few days at the beach alone and then Grandma and Grandpa came down. Audrey didn't last too long at the beach most days. She still naps alot and did not want to nap on the hard sand. I think she'll enjoy it more next year when she can run around. Here's Audrey soaking it in on the beach.


When Wes's parents joined us, they babysat for us one night and then we all went to dinner on the second night. Here's a few pictures of us all dressed up to go to dinner.

All in all, it was a great vacation. As you can see from the next picture, Daddy passed along a few bad habits to Audrey. She liked the cold can to teeth... seriously, we didn't let her drink the beer. We're not that terrible of parents!

Vacation to Maryland - Part 1

We recently just returned from a 2-week trip to Maryland to visit Wes's parents and go to the beach. Audrey and I set out by ourselves on Tuesday, July 22. I was a little nervous about the flight but Audrey was a great little traveller. It was nice because the flight was pretty empty so we got a whole row to ourselves and Audrey could sleep in her car seat. Here's Audrey waiting in the boarding area at Intercontinental Airport.


We spent alot of time just hanging out with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Marianne, and Cousins Noel and Chloe. Grandma invited some of her good friends over for lunch one day to meet the newest additions to the Hinton family, Chloe and Audrey. Here's Audrey with Grandma before all the ladies arrived for lunch.

It was interesting to see Chloe and Audrey interact. They are 1-month apart in age. They are both rolling around on the floor and love to eat their feet. I guess some pasttimes are universally fun! Here are the girls with Aunt Marianne and Daddy.

On Saturday, Wes's Aunt Nancy and Uncle David came over to meet the girls. We had to dress Chloe and Audrey in yet another set of matching outfits from Grandma. When the girls are older, I'm sure they'll rebel from being dressed alike. But for now, we just enjoy it. Here are the two littlest girls and then the next picture is all the cousins, Aunt Marianne, and me.


It was really fun to see all the family. I think Thanksgiving promises to be crazy with all the little girls scooting around!

Visit from BeBe

BeBe (Les's mom) came for a visit this weekend. Although it was a short one, we enjoyed having her. Audrey just loves playing with her BeBe.

I am now able to put my toes in my mouth... what a talent!

Happy girl

I'm 4-Months Old

Audrey turned 4-months old last Saturday. She is growing like a weed. She weighed 14 lbs 9 oz and was 26 inches long at her last appointment. We have a tall girl! Maybe she takes after Pops's side of the family. She is just such a delight to us. She giggles when we tickle her neck and tummy. And she continues to be mommy's little lunch date with mommy's friends. She's a great sleeper and eater. We're hoping to see her roll over any day now.

Look at my long legs...

Ok maybe they just look long b/c Mommy hiked up my pants.

I love my thumb!

I'm cute and I know it!

I've got plenty of smiles

Happy July 4th!

We had a fairly low key 4th of July. We started the day with swimming at the Houstonian with Pops and Nana. As you can see from the pictures, Audrey enjoyed her swim time. She also was more interested in eating the American flags we gave her instead of posing with them. But hey, she's a 4-month old; they put everything in their mouths.
