I suppose now is as good a time as any to continue my Audrey update as today she is five months old. (Holy crap! Five months!)
Audrey is the most agreeable, happy baby ever, as long as you don't try to do something stupid, like put her down. Ever. :)
So, yes, we have not made any strides in naptime, or bedtime, or, oh, let's call it Mommy time. But that's okay. I can type over Audrey when she is sleeping on the boppy on my lap and Patrick and I are watching Thomas the Tank Engine's Snowy Surprise. Gosh but kids are fun.
Audrey is not great at self-soothing, but she does enjoy sucking her thumb. ACTUALLY she enjoys sucking her TOE and kind of healf-heartedly sucks at her thumb when nothing better is there. She is happiest when she is upright in some form, sitting (which she can almost do my herself but not quite) or lately standing. As long as she can grab your fingers, she can stand up for a while. She likes to dance but is not really interested in walking as yet.
She continues to LOVE her brother. He continues to love his toys and cartoons. He loves her too, but he wants you to know that she cannot play with his trains and oh by the way, when she cries it's too loud and he can't hear the cartoons so could you take her in the other room?
Audrey started rolling over when she was a little past three months old but she has gotten terribly proficient at it here lately. Gone are the days when I can set her in the middle of the bed and go brush my teeth.
We tried oatmeal, once, and I think Audrey liked it, but then the doctor lectured me that oatmeal was FROM THE DEVIL and I am sufficiently cowed and haven't tried it again. But soon. For sure at six months there's no stopping us and I might even rebel and do it sooner. HA.
We've had Halloween and Thanksgiving. Next up: Christmas. AND SIX MONTHS 
OLD.
