I didn't realize that it had been so long since we did a journal post. We have been very busy with traveling to the lake, reaching milestones, and just hanging out with friends and family. So, here is a rundown of some of the big events that we haven't written about over this past month.
1. We made a trip to Lake of the Ozarks for the 4th of July. Audrey slept through the fireworks, but did get to go on several boat rides and dip her toes in the water.
2. Audrey was baptized at Central Presbyterian Church, where we are members, on July 12. She was just great during the service; the video is linked from the homepage in addition to pictures. Billy's grandma knitted the gorgeous baptism gown, bonnet, and booties. It was so touching to have friends and family there with us. Audrey is a child of God; now the hard part is trying to live as an example for her! Fortunately, God doesn't expect us to be perfect parents.
3. We made another trip to the lake for Billy's 27th birthday. My parents and brother also made the trip, so Audrey got to go on her first ride on her grandparents' Sea Ray. The most interesting part was trying to feed her down in the cabin while driving down the main channel at Lake of the Ozarks. It was a bumpy ride!
Other than those big outings, Audrey is growing and learning so much. She is working very hard on her hand-eye coordination; she reaches out for things, albeit slowly. When we read to her, she likes to slap the pages of the books, and she likes to hit the keyboard when we sit here with us at the computer too. She is also rolling from her back to her stomach and trying to use her arms and legs to push herself up. I know that she'll be crawling in no time!
