weekend update

So much to tell! On Monday someone went and turned 8 months old on me. For some reason, this month more then any other it hit me just how fast she is growing. It is such a cliche, but she is growing like a weed and time is going by so fast. Here is a little bit of information on Audrey as she enters her eighth month. She had been sleeping pretty good, I was finally feeling rested, then she started sleeping on her belly. Oh boy did this throw me off. I must have blocked it out of my memory from when the boys did it because I can't recall. Anyways, she started doing this almost a month ago, now she does it all the time. the first couple of nights, I couldn't sleep at all. I was constantly checking her to see if she could breath. I am happy to report that both she and I are sleeping much better now.

This girl can eat. So far there is NOTHING that she hasn't liked. She'll eat it all. Green beans, peas, carrots, squash, apples, peaches, prunes, etc. I am so happy about that. We'll see how it keeps going.

She loves to sit and play. She takes a nap in her crib anywhere from 1-2 hours. She is quite happy to be with her brothers. They both love to make her laugh uncontrollably. She is a loud talker. By that I mean, she yells. A lot. And it's a happy yell. It usually is when it is inappropriate too. Think church or a restaurant. ;) I can't describe it, I wish you could hear it because it comes from her toes.

We bought a Mini Cooper! Well, we ordered one. Sadly, it won't be here for a couple of months, and it's already been one month. We may have it before Christmas. Robert is seriously having a hard time waiting for it. It will be for him to drive. I am tickled because I have wanted one forEVER. Way before my parents got one.

Speaking of my parents and Minis, my mom did something crazy this week. I think I have mentioned before that they belong to a Mini Cooper car club. Well their group went out to Bonneville this week to see the time trials. A couple of their friends were also going to run their cars there as well. Well my mom got the idea that she wanted to do it too and that's exactly what she did. She ran her car 5 times and went 120 mph. I am so proud of her. I don't know if I could do it. I can't wait to get pictures of it. She had to borrow a helmet! They outfitted her car with a fire extinguisher and she had to wear long sleeves and long pants. Isn't that crazy? Apparently she was a big hit, people were calling her the Salt Queen. She is very outgoing and friendly and she had people talking to her from all over the world. I can't wait to hear more. Go mom! She is already planning to go back next year and get into the 130 mph club, I bet she'll do it too.
