Last week was exhausting.
Audrey was feeling better, but Tony's grandfather went into the hospital. He was 93 years old, so he lived a long and full life. He passed away on Thursday and we had the wake and funeral Sunday and Monday. We will miss you, Boots!
The past few years have been rough for us, especially this year. We have lost way too many people this year. I know that my mind was wondering at the funeral. We were in the same church just 6 short weeks before to bury our friend.
I kept thinking about how much we missed him. How much we had missed him in those few months before he died.
Bret was an amazing musician and friend. Unfortunately we had to cut him out of our lives. Tony and I do not do drugs and do not like to be around people that do. When we found out that Bret was using again, he was kicked out of the band and we did not hear from him much.
He went to rehab and Tony was trying to get over how many times he had hurt him. They were talking again. Bret had missed the two, most important moments of our lives: our wedding; Audrey's birth. He was using when we got married so we had broken off contact. Unfortunately, he had not come to see Audrey after he was finished with rehab.
With all of his flaws, we still loved him. I know Tony misses him more than ever. I wish that Audrey could have met her uncle Bret.
RIP Grandpa Boots
RIP Uncle Bret
I seriously cannot believe that she is 7 months old. She is a little person now. She is really trying to crawl, but she cannot figure it out.
I keep thinking back to when she was first born. It feels like it was just yesterday that I first held her, but it feels like we have had her forever. I cannot believe my tiny little baby is such a big girl.
I love having a super chubby baby, my back does not agree. I have found one thing that bothers me about having a big girl, not the comments people make about her being a fat baby: she cannot fit in "baby" clothes. Aud is in 18-24 month clothing. Most summer baby girl clothes are super cute, but the little rompers and outfits like that only go up to 12 months. I found some little sunsuits, which are adorable, but I love the rompers.
I got this super cute sunsuits at Costco for $5.99. STEAL!

We decided to try some steamed broccoli and it went wonderfully. Although she doesn't have any teeth she was able to mash it around.
I was a nervous wreck the entire time, but she did great.
I am not sure what we will be trying next. I hope it goes as well as the broccoli. I guess we will figure that one out later.

So she is now 6 months and I have not updated this since she was 1 week old! I suppose I should catch up!
Audrey has really grown and changed in the past 6 months (almost 7 as Tony likes to remind me). She is trying to crawl, she really only has the backward scoot down. She can pull herself up in her crib, which she thinks is hilarious.
