Audrey turned six months old on her first Christmas. She has mastered rolling over and scooting and is pretty good at sitting up. She has two teeth and has tried peaches (yes), green beans (yes) and bananas (no).
Audrey is a Mover. She does. not. stop. Even while she is eating, she is rolling over, trying to stand up, generally not being still. She wants to go. She doesn't seem to have much interest in crawling right now (she will get up on all fours and lunge occasionally) -- because she wants to walk. She will hold your fingers and walk around the room. In fact, you had better walk her around the room, or else she will cry.
Audrey is a Talker. I'm being nice. I almost typed Crier. Oh. Oops. She has developed a high pitched squeal (I'm not a fan) and also uses a lower pitched growling (I still don't know if this is actually bad or just indifferent). When she is happy, she smiles a lot, but it takes a lot to make her actually laugh. Although she does this funny grunting 'Ha Ha Ha' thing and also occasionally barks/coughs and I think it is approximating laughter.
Audrey is NOT a Sleeper. She refuses to nap unless you are holding her. By 'you' I actually mean 'one of her parents.' She is not a fan of self-soothing.
Audrey started crying as I was typing that last sentence. Three or four days ago. Ha. So I guess I better post this before next year and write more later.
