Crazy hair. Beautiful eyes. Runny nose. Pretty smile. Sharp teeth. Infectious laugh. Audrey Grace. I could probably go on but it wouldn't be fair. She is sleeping now. Ah, sweet baby reprieve. I love the baby but I love the nap time too! I find it funny how she fits a lot of the "baby" stereotypes that people were sure Alex would fit but didn't. She is into everything. She climbs on everything and over anything. She eats anything on the floor, even if it moves. She loves the dogs. She is similar to Alex in some ways too. For example, if there were to be a knife on the floor, hidden from view AND her favorite toys scattered about in plain view she would find the knife first and then attack some toy with it. Babies are drawn to danger. Or maybe that is just Audrey. The other day she was trying to get the outlet cover out. Thankfully she wasn't trying to do so with a screwdriver or something. But the fact that she was trying is a might bit troublesome.

Alex is at his Pap-Pap S's today. They spend most Wednesdays together. Toilet paper. Yes, I said toilet paper. There was a mountain of toilet paper on the floor yesterday. Full double roll portion of paper. Thanks to Alex taking his time going "potty" with the bathroom door closed and me being distracted by Audrey (they may already be in cahoots). When I asked about the paper being on the floor he told me, "That's what monkeys do, mommy!" I wasn't sure how to argue that at the time. Come to find out he was right. That IS what monkeys do, especially Curious George in his full length motion picture film. Alex's favorite, favorite, favorite movie. If he is eating a banana he is acting like a monkey. If he is on my back he is acting like a monkey. If he is running around the house, he is acting like a monkey. He asks me to be the mommy monkey so he can be the baby monkey. Oh, little boys.

Alex has been sleeping in his Thomas the Tank Engine tent he received for Christmas. It has worked to my advantage because it is too small for two people (a boy and a mom) to fit in and sleep. So I have been exempt from having to "seep wif me mommy." At least some nights. Alex also always has a story to tell. And usually they are very descriptive. I love to sit and listen to them. We just need to work on volume control now. He is so smart. I love that boy!

Oh well, time for myself is limited so I better take advantage of it now!
