Audrey Katana

True, true

Momma — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 20:29:22 +0000

Driving past the mall where she met Santa at Christmas:

Audrey: “Momma! We have a picture of Zoe and me and Santa!”

Me: “We do! Did you meet him?”

A: “Yes! And his tummy too!”

And just now at the table:

A: “Knock knock”

Z: “Who’s there?”

A: “Chicken.”

Z: “Chicken who?”

A:” Baaak baaaak baaak!”

After I handed her some fruit snacks:

A:”There you go, Mama. That’s ok, Mama. You’re welcome Mama.”
Me: “Do you mean, ‘Thank you, Mama?”
A: “Yes!”

Singing, to the tune of You Are My Sunshine:
“I am a princess, your only princess. I make you happy, when skies are gray.”

The faces of Audrey Katana

Audrey is a complicated young lady. One day, sweet and innocent:

the next day…

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape…

…you don’t spit into the wind.

You don’t pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger,

and you don’t mess around with Audrey

CHEEEEESE!!!

Here’s Tiny with Ming Ming (who she borrowed from her cousin). And yes, her word for “I love you” is to make a kissing noise.

Behold the beauty that is Miss Audrey Katana on her 1st birthday. (And before anyone asks, yes, she did wear 3 different outfits today.)

Happy birthday, tiny one. You are so loved.

It’s time to party like it’s 1999. Or is that 2009?

Momma — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 04:18:36 +0000

Audrey had her 1st birthday party today, even though her birthday is next week, lucky girl. She had a great time. There were presents and food, and most importantly, cake.

The party was duck themed, as chosen by Zoe, on Audrey's behalf.

There was a big cake for everyone.

Audrey tried to get in on that action...

but she had her own cake.

May I present the love story between a girl and her cake.

"Hey look! A duck!"

"Gotcha, little ducky!"

"Hey, what's this?"

"Hey, can you hold this for me?"

"Hey, wait a minute, that's MY duck!"

"CAKE! AND A DUCK! AND CAKE!"

"YAY CAKE!"

"Oh goodness, so much cake!"

"I approve of this entire experience."

Now that’s the way to celebrate a birthday. Happy early birthday, tiny one.

Tiny can say “Hi”, but only when she wants to- she’s no monkey, here to perform for your amusement.

She’s also eating like a fiend, and her 8th tooth (front left) is poking through.

She keeps trying to boycott her morning nap.

That is all

It has begun…

Just like her older sister, Audrey was motivated to crawl by the remote control. I guess there’s something about a glowing stick with buttons that hits something primal in us all.
