So now that I am a Mommy . . . (wow, is that weird to say!) I have been wanting to make sure that things that I remember and love from my childhood Audrey gets to experience. Hopefully she will remember them fondly when she is all grown up just like I do now! Whenever I used to go visit my Grandpa and Grandma Jessica my Grandma would make me a breakfast called "Dutch Babies." This is considered a Dutch pancake and I remember just loving this dish! So, I have invested in the special pan it takes to make these and have already kicked out a couple of batches! I hope to make these for special Saturday mornings with Mike and Audrey and maybe one day she will make them for her babies! I can't ever imagine her that big! Yikes! Here is a pic of this special dish:
Speaking of my Grandpa and Grandma Jessica . . . I just found out that they are going to make the huge trip from Washington State to come and visit Audrey at the end of September! I am so excited for my Grandpa to meet Audrey, he's been asking me since I was 10 if I had a boyfriend because he wanted Great Grandbabies and now he finally gets to meet his first :-) Now she only has one Great Grandparent left to meet which is Mike's Grandma Eleanor. Our family is so special and I can't wait for Audrey to meet every last one of them!
And because a post isn't a post without at least one picture of Audrey . . . here she is in her Bumpo seat! If you don't know, these little seats have become a must have for infants. It helps her with head control now and when she starts eating baby food it doubles as a high chair that you set right on the counter or table and it has a little tray and everything :-) The box says 3 months and she is only 11 weeks but she has been using it for a couple of weeks now and is doing great with her head!
I just love this baby! Did you see those little toes? Does she look like anyone you know? Let me give you a hint :-) I see a little resemblence . . .

Oh holy Hell! Mike and Audrey are like freaking twins! That is just scary - I know that she looked like him, but geez! But she is cute though (JK Mike, you are cute too!!).
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to get my hands on that baby again though - she misses me, I know. Plan a trip - at least before she is one !
