Audrey is 1 Month old!







Yesterday Audrey turned 1 month old. Seems like it was just yesterday we were on our way to the hospital to have her! She is getting big and is so funny. She laughs and smiles at everything, guess she takes after me in that dept! People always love a good smile, right? We had our first trip to the mall, we got to use our stroller...it was funny to stroll that thing around the mall! We're not used of it yet I guess. When nanny Blanche heard we were in lafayette, of course she had to come and see Audrey. After we shopped we went eat at Tsubaki, she slept the whole time!



I made this little shirt that has her age, weight, and length. I want to make one each month til her 1st birthday to watch her grow and see how much she changes. I saw the idea in a magazine, of course theirs wasn't this cute, lol

Getting Bigger!











Last Sunday we went to Momo's house to visit with the family! Monique and Timmy were in town and we just had to let Audrey and Jackson meet. He is the the first one born, of all these new babies. He got so big since I saw him in Houston, he is addorable and is such a happy baby. We snapped a few pictures of him and Audrey...It was fun visiting with everyone. Can't wait to meet the rest of the new Babies!! We also stopped at Auntie Nikki's house to visit! She got to rock her to sleep after she ate. We can't wait to see how her and Beau play together when they get older! It will be so cute. We had a busy Sunday!
Monday Mimi babysat for me to go run a few errands. She said Audrey was good. I think they played the whole time, she stares at everything in mimis house...so many pretties! And i think mom takes pictures of her the whole time too! lol She always sets her up like a lil' photo shoot. I put up one that she took that day, I love it! Good job Mom!
Our week has been good, Audrey had a visit to the doctor and she now weighs 9 lb 12 oz...and is 21 inches long! She is growing everyday, and doc said she's doing very good. We hope she keeps up the good work of eating and sleeping. Bye for now, have a Great weekend

"Happy" makes me SMILE!


Hello everyone! We are still doing good, Audrey is growing so much everyday! She is sleeping very good at night and is pretty happy during the day. Yesterday my mom and dad came over to see Audrey before they headed out to Toledo Bend, and of course Mimi scooped her up before Happy could, so he was standing over them talking to Audrey and she let out the biggest SMILE ever!! Guess she thinks Happy is funny, like we all do! He was thrilled, she gave him her FIRST real smile. You can tell she was really focusing on him. Can't believe she is almost three weeks old, wish she could stay like this forever. Through out the day she continued to crack a few smiles...I caught one on camera. Cute, huh! She even has tiny dimples when she smiles.

Busy weekend!









We had a great weekend! First of all Saturday I felt good enough to go with Blanche and Mal on a lil' shopping trip. Blanche needed to get a gift, so we just went to the Glamour Closet in Rayne, but it was nice to get out and get dressed. Audrey came along for the ride and she was very good, she slept the whole time we were there. Hope this means she will enjoy shopping, because Mom really likes too! I'm not used to how long it takes to get a baby, and myself ready and pack up everything...it was 3:00 by time we left! Guess we'll eventually get the hang of it. Sunday morning we went to church and she was very good there too! Aunt Janice got to hold Audrey and put her to sleep. We enjoyed the time at church together. After, we went to Mimi and Happy's for lunch and everybody took a turn holding Audrey and my grandmother (Tootsie) even came to see and hold her! She also got to meet my Nanny, Teenie, and Aunt Carla and her cousins! After a very busy day we came home and relaxed and bathed Audrey. She still loves her bath time! She is so very sweet and is an awesome baby!

One week old!







So, we survived a whole week! Time flies when you're having fun right? Sure does, especially when there's a beautiful baby around. We are adjusting to our new little life and it gets a bit easier each day.We had many visitors and were so happy all our family and friends love us and want to come see Audrey. Thank you, everyone!
Papa loves to hold Audrey, she stares at him and it's the most sweetest thing in the world. He is a great DAD. He helps out so much around the house and makes sure we have everything we need. Audrey is still a very good baby and eats and sleeps well. We are very blessed!We took our first outing to Mimi and Happy's house Sunday, so I could go and cut my hair! (Friday I went chop it all off to donate it to Locks of Love, they do it every year at RCE on Valentines Day and Me and Blanche decided to participate in honor of my Mom.)
Everybody got a turn to hold her at Mimi's and we enjoyed the visit! She loves riding in the car, so I'm sure we will be going on many outings in the future.
We are doing good and pray things keep going well!

Home Sweet Home!


































We survived the delivery and hospital stay, now it's time to return home...and start our new life with Audrey. We are so excited to be home and begin this journey that's ahead of us! We thank everyone who came to visit us, it's nice to have so many loving family and friends be there for us at this special time! Our hospital stay flew by and when it was time to pack up and come home we were so anxious and ready. As we dressed Audrey, she patiently layed on the bed and looked around, never making a peep! She is such a good baby so far and we will be blessed if she stays like this. Our drive home was exciting, our car was loaded down with all the balloons and flowers everyone sent and She just sat in her seat smiling away(no lie, she was smiling!) As we got home Mimi and Happy arrived just in time to help Glenn unload all our goodies, and got to give her a few kisses before returning to work. This afternoon Aunt Nikki and cousins Taylor & Andreu came to visit and she was so alert and happy to see them! Later Blanche came over and helped me give her a bath...I was a bit nervous she would do the whole "screaming" thing, but she didn't! She loved her little bath and even at one time had her leg propped up on the side. It was so funny.








It's so nice of everyone to come help us out and we appreciate everything you all do!! We look forward to everyone being able to come visit and see our new Bundle of Joy!
