Audrey was baptized this past Sunday. She was such a good girl, not a peep out of her. She wore the same baptism gown that I wore when I was baptized. We had a little party for her at our house afterwards. Here are some pictures from the day:

Audrey is 3 months old today. I keep telling her to slow down but she just doesn't listen! She doesn't go to the doctor for another month but when I try to weigh her at home she's at about 14 pounds. This month she has started to learn how to control her hands a little. As you can see in one of the pictures, she likes to suck on her fingers. It's so funny to watch her concentrate so hard on getting her hand to her mouth. She has started to grab at the toys on her playmat now too. She coos all the time, making all sorts of adorable noises, her favorite of which is "Ah-goo" Owen always said "Ah-goo" at this age too. Do all babies say that? She HATES tummy-time, so I don't think she'll be rolling over anytime soon. She did roll from her back to her tummy a couple weeks back. But I think that was just a fluke. She got really mad once she was on her tummy, so she probably won't be doing that again anytime soon. I don't want to jinx anything, but she has slept through the night the last 3 nights in a row!!!!!! Can you tell how happy I am about that. 3 months was the magic age for Owen sleeping through the night, I'm hoping it is for Audrey too.

We went to the zoo over Memorial day weekend. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Dan made a new best friend!




Owen did not want to sit with John Ball this time.









Audrey has slept through the night 3 times in the last two weeks! 8 hours straight! It's been really nice. Hopefully she keeps it up! She has really turned into the easiest baby! She is so happy and content most of the time, and naps really well and when she does wake up at night she always goes right back to sleep. In the early days I was a little worried, she was much more high maintenance than Owen was as a newborn. There were nights when she woke up almost every hour and did not want to go to sleep. I would rock her and walk around with her in our bedroom until she fell asleep only to have her wake up as soon as I put her down. And there were days when she only wanted to be held all day. But that really only lasted a few weeks. Things are much easier now. We were really blessed with two great kids!
