It's TWINS!!
We've named them Michael and Michelle ! Thankfully, they are one of Audrey's birthday presents! I think I might actually keel over if a doctor ever told me we were going to have twins. Audrey is happy to push her twins all over the house though - she will occasionally feed them, but most of the time I'm afraid they go hungry. She IS pretty dedicated, however, to make sure her "my little pony" (which isn't all that little) named Violet gets her medicine. Can you believe it came with a spoon, a medicine bottle and a thermometer. She loves it....
I can't believe she's two! She certainly hasn't slowed down in her old age - if anything, she's picked up the pace. She is still a dancing machine and now points to the cd/player radio thing in our kitchen and begs to "dance." She loves to slow dance with her daddy which includes lots of spins and dips (and giggles!) Her latest addition is when she tries to slow dance alone. I wish I could describe this because it's hilarious. She stands in front of the oven (watching herself) and she's swiveling her hips around all over the place. All of this is to the tune of my Martina McBride love song cd that has been in the cd player for at LEAST 6 months.
She has thoroughly enjoyed all her Christmas presents and birthday presents. I'm so proud that she has played with everything. I figured she'd have her favorites, but she seems to spread her attention around pretty well. My parents gave her a new little table and chairs for her birthday and we have now banished the high chair to the upstairs!! Yay! She does pretty well sitting at her little table, but I wasn't even thinking about the fact that I would be eating most of my meals at a tiny table as well! I did know I'd want to sit at it, so I told my mom it might be best to find chairs without arms.... :) I'm sure glad now!
She has gotten back into a reading mood which makes me happy. Earlier tonight, she just sat in the middle of a pile of books and was perfectly content for 20 minutes. In "audrey time" that's the equivalent of a week.
Ryan and I were laughing while she was eating her snack tonight; her body was still, but her legs were just flailing around under the table. She just has so much energy.
Basketball season is coming to a close - It has gone by so fast this year. Audrey asks to go to the gym and play "basta-ball" and her daddy is more than happy to take her. We've tried to go to some of his games which is an adventure. The first time we went, she actually stood and watched most of the second half. Since then, she has wanted to run laps around the track at the top of the gym. Part of me wants to teach her to "be still" and part of me wants to let her run (she sleeps SO good!!) :)
My latest project is finding a color to paint my dining room. This is turning out to be more difficult than I thought. We'll see...
Oh....I'm also selling my dining room table and chairs. If you know anyone that might be interested, please let me know. It's got quite a few years under it's belt (at least 26) but it's in great shape.
My goal is to post more often. I keep procrastinating. I'm going to aim for shorter and more frequent. Sorry to the out of town family and long distance friends. I'll do better. Promise.
