14.

Audrey is FOURTEEN months old! I officially took away all pacifiers as of last night... she only cried for a few minutes then went to sleep. She has been on sippy cups full-time for about a month now. She has four teeth and two more seem to be coming in on the bottom. She climbed up on the couch for the first time by herself this weekend. She can step into a pair of pants. She hasn't added any new words but now signs "bath." I finally got her to eat a banana this weekend! When the boys and I were painting last night, she opened the drawer, found an extra toothbrush and started "painting" the walls with it. When the boys were destroying the box that Dade's new bike came in, she grabbed a (REAL) tool and hit it with them. She loves her freedom... she is perfectly content to roam the back porch and backyard on her own. She will climb into the camping chair and the umbrella stroller on her own. She enjoys being in the sandbox just as much as D&L. Unlike the boys, she will stay in her stroller for an hour (just keep the food, drink and toys coming!). She loves to look at books and she LOVES music; when it starts her little body goes to bouncing. Shoes are one of her favorite things to play with -- she slips her hands into them and carries them around the house. At 14 months, she has yet to have an ear infection, weighs 23 1/2 pounds, has figured out how to open the oven door, turn on the oven light and turn off the t.v. She is pure joy!
