all quite on the western front

we have been busy. really, that's my excuse. ok, the baby has been busy and i am just along for the ride. she started making consonant sounds recently and now they are turning into regular baby talk. she will be saying 'dada' before too long. today she played in the kitchen while i made vichyssoise and chocolate chip cookies. she helped a little with the cookies. i even let her have some vichyssoise for lunch, we ate it warm though, instead of cold. the house is a mess but we are both happy. she stayed awake for 4 hours in the morning and 3 1/2 in the afternoon. this means no third nap and possibly more sleep during the night. we will see. she has been waking at 6 or 6:30 for a week or so and i am tired of it. so i decided to see what we could do.
last night we went to kc for dinner with joshua's cousins and brother. the girls loved audrey and she loved them. however, every time she was placed in jacob's lap she screamed. i even gave him bread to bribe her with. we will have to work something out while he is here to get her used to him. his wife, lisa, will be here later today for a wedding this weekend. everyone loves audrey and they are staying with us just to see her. that means tomorrow i will have to clean.
