3 Months and growing!
Audrey is offically 3 months now and changing everyday! At her 3 month check up we found that she 
is now 15lbs and 24in long. Not extremely big or small, just perfect! Her colic is getting much better too, if not completely gone (knock on wood) and she's been napping pretty regularly, at least in the morning, about an hour after she's gotten up. I say it's her way of spending just enough quality time with dad before he heads to work, then she's like, "I'm going back to bed!" Sometimes they're 30 minutes and sometimes they're 3 hours, just depends. She's usually very happy in the early morning, all smiles, but the rest of the day she's a pretty serious baby. Her facial expressions (see photo) sometimes imply that she thinks I'm crazy, but none the less she loves me ...I can tell. She's starting to recognize that Mike and I are her comfort but will occationally take a nap in the arms of a friend, especially if they hold her just right. Aunt Sara saved the day this past weekend while we were camping. Audrey was out of her usual elimate and did not sleep well in the camper. This photo was taken at about 6pm after a long day 
without one single nap. The poor girl was pooped and pasted out cold on Sara's shoulder. She didn't wake up until 11pm (we rescued Sara though and moved her to her bed) and that was only because I woke her to feed her and go to bed myself. This was only her second camping trip so we're hoping slowly, but surely, she's going to grow to love it as we do. The next trip is planned for Labor Day weekend which will be a 3 night, 4 day trip ...crossing my fingers that goes well. Then we're heading up to Lake City to see Grandma and Grandpa Nelson for a few days before we finally head home at which time her cousins Jackson and Max will be here to play, as the Shea family heads to Michigan for Sara's wedding the following week! Audrey just might sleep for the whole month of October after all this excitement!

Bachlorette Party
So last Friday was my first night away from Audrey. I have to admit it really wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be to leave. Don't get me wrong I was so ready to come back after 24 hours away but it was indeed nice to just get away. There were 13 girls that joined us in Put-In-Bay for Sara's Bachlorette party, 3 of which are new moms so we decided to only stay for the one night. We had a really good time starting with a nice dinner on the water, then drinks and dancing followed by beautiful sunshine by the pool the next day.Mike and Audrey were on there own for the night and they did just fine without me. Audrey was putting up a fuss the week before my departure in regards to taking a bottle from him but we quickly learned that she'll take it with no problems as long as I'm no where to be found. Mike said the night was long (welcome to my world), and went by with very little sleep (...again, welcome to my world) but all was well. I'd like to say that she lit up with excitement when I got home however I'm not really convinced she even knew I was gone. It's okay though, I'd hate to think she'd be misserable without me because there will be many more Daddy/Daugther overnight events still to come!

Funny Business
...Audrey thinks mom looks funny!
Okay, so she's not quite tall enough yet but she seemed to enjoy it for a brief moment.
