Audrey Bell: Seven Months

 

 

 

 

I’m so glad that I spent the last month taking a monthly portrait of Audrey; however, I’m glad that I can get back to the semi-regular posts that sprinkle our blog from time to time. I fully intend to do an outtake post from some of the portraits I took of Audrey because they’re pretty funny. At 6 months, Audrey was really good at sitting up and now she’s perfected it. I can set her down practically anywhere and not worry that she’ll fall. These past few days, she has started moving to her stomach from a sitting position and ‘swimming’ around. I fear crawling is in the VERY near future of her life. We’re in the middle of bed time right now, but I wanted to throw these up while I had a minute.

Audrey Bell: Day Thirty

audrey 6 months

“We’ll eat you up, we love you so!” is one of my favorite parts of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” and it sums up how I feel about Audrey these days – both the girls, really. Maggie is on the edge of starting preschool and I can’t help but feel bittersweet about it. And Audrey? She’s such a gem….happy, happy, happy. The sure-fire way to get her to laugh is to have Maggie bonk heads with her. She seriously starts laughing when Maggie swizzles her puff of hair near or rams her head into Audrey’s. 

I look forward to writing a bit more after this portrait project is done, but for now just a few sentences will do. 

Same shirt different decade in today’s photos. There I am with my mom on my Grandpa Lowman’s boat. If that shirt fit me today, you better believe that I’d still wear it! Thank goodness Audrey looks dandy in it.
