Audrey swinging in the yard

On Saturday, Grandpa Keith came over and helped Dad put up her new swing up. Here is a few videos of Audrey swinging away.

Audrey in her Detroit Lions Jersey

Today, Audrey and her Daddy watched their first Lions pre-season Detroit Lions game together. To celebrate the occasion, Aud got a new Detroit Lions jersey - a #81 Calvin Johnson.

Here is a video of her playing some football:

Just a good picture to share

Mommy took this picture of me Sunday. I look so gosh darn cute!

Audrey and the Cookie

After Daddy left last Sunday to drink Leffe and eat waffles, Mommy decided to give Audrey her first cookie: Chocolate Chip. A good solid choice for a first cookie. Mommy crumbled it up to the appropriate pieces and Audrey ate it enthusiastically. Today, out of curiosity, Mommy wanted to know what Audrey would do if given a whole cookie. Supervised, of course. After dinner, Mommy gave her a Kashi Chewy Dark Chocolate Oatmeal cookie.

Let's begin....

Audrey is given said cookie.

At first, she was a little hesitant about it. Mommy takes a bite to get things rolling and quality control. Once it is given back to her, she gums the cookie. She quickly realized the sugar goldmine that has befallen her.


Audrey is always on the go. She decides to take the cookie with her to whatever she has decided she was going to do. Mommy never knows and doesn't venture a guess. But, she is followed.












After she rounds the kitchen, she makes her way to the front room. Where the heck is this kid goin'?

Audrey makes her way to the foyer.

She passes the front door and heads up the stairs, taking a bite of the cookie on her way up.











Wrigley is now in pursuit...

Audrey makes it to the landing and is feeling victorious. She takes another bite of the cookie and stands tall like a gold medal Olympian.



Wrigley passes Audrey up the stairs and plots a coup for the cookie.



Audrey takes a few more bites and teases Wrigley with the cookie. This involves outstretching her arm with the cookie towards Wrigley and pulling away when he reaches for the it. Wrigley is not happy.

Audrey continues up the stairs and ventures into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom. Kennedy arrives on the scene.

Audrey makes her way around the bed towards the dog bed. She body slams into the bed much to her delight. Not much of the cookie remains. She gives the remainder to Wrigley and pets Kennedy (not pictured, unfortunately). Kennedy would have rather have had the cookie.

Walkabout

Here is a video of Audrey taking a little walk in the living room. While she's not ready for long distance, she is really getting the hang of this. Behold, her talent!

You mean I get more cake?!?!

The day after the 4th of July, much to her delight, received another cake. The Thurstons and most of the Toth clan made it out for Audrey's Super Fantastic First Birthday Shindig. Even a special appearance by Uncle Joe and Paula! Audrey enjoyed seeing all of her cousins and Daddy continued his greatest uncle streak by purchasing a Sonic game for Aiden and Ryan to play since it was too hot and the swarms of mosquitoes were too great to go outside.

But, the best thing about the day for Audrey was cake. Glorious cake! She cried initially, but once she tasted the homemade marble cake goodness, she dove right in. Just like with the first cake, she was gleefully messy. Audrey required a wardrobe change.

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Happy 4th of July from the Doodle!!! 14+ days late, but better late than never. Mommy and Daddy haven't been letting me near the PC.
