January 2011

This past Saturday Audrey and I attended Miss Amanda's Musikgarten open House in Clifton.  She had an Infants demo at 9:30 which Audrey thoroughly enjoyed so we signed up for the weekly class which lasts for 14 sessions. 

This picture shows Audrey in one of the sweaters her Mom-mom knitted for her ... 4 years ago!  The box she is holding has lots of babies pictures on it and she just loves it and is close to learning how to say "baby".

 This is her "scary" face that she will often do on command.
Another version of 'scary' face.

Another sweater Mom-mom made.  This one is huge on her which I really like as it is not only easy to get on but works well over all the layers I put on her when we go out.  Which is often since we both get bored if we stay in the house too long.


One of the places we like to go is Immaculata, the neighborhood Catholic church.

Immaculata is 151 years old.

And even though we aren't Catholic I paid for and lit a candle for Audrey on her 11th month birthday.
Audrey seems particularly interested in their creche. 

We also aren't Jewish but we lit this candle in memory of Lucy on January 10.  The anniversary of her death.  My friend Nancy sent this to us after Lucy died.

Lucy was our very loved cat.  And she almost surely was not Jewish either as she loved ham.

Our newly installed kitchen seating.  The upholstery was just installed today! 

This kind of storage is so valued in urban homes like ours.

We had the window seat in the kitchen upholstered too.

This picture does not do it justice but we really like the baby monitor.  The picture quality is pretty amazing and even though our house is not big we can't hear her from the kitchen without this monitor.

Another development we have achieved in the last week is being able to be rocked asleep.  Oh my gosh I am so thankful for this as it was killing my back to sway her to sleep.

This picture shows some books and cute Mary Jane socks my nephew and his wife sent us this week.  Audrey loves the books and I think it is pretty cute that she often excitedly kisses the kitty's when we are reading these books.
