On Saturday, we went with the Hoenigs to the ThriVe 5K run at Forest Park. While Billy ran the actual 5K, I walked a 3K while Audrey rolled just ahead of me in her stroller. She enjoyed pointing at the dogs and waving at strangers while we walked. Lillian (a.k.a. baby Hoenig) fell asleep, but Audrey stayed awake the entire time. When we got done with the walk, Audrey wanted to explore. She would walk up to other children and just watch them. Then, she found a children’s area with games; he favorite part was the pool full of ducks. I think we will definitely have to keep an eye on her when we are out in public now. She has reached that age where sitting in a stroller is not very appealing, and she wants to show her independence by roaming and exploring.
On Sunday, we visiting Greenville and spent the day with my parents and grandparents on the lake. Billy swam with Audrey and showed her how much fun it is to jump off of the dock. To be honest, it isn’t really jumping, because Audrey sits on the edge and then leans forward into her dad’s arms. But the sensation of falling and the splash are the same as if she had jumped. By next summer, I think we’re going to have to keep her on a leash when she’s near the water to ensure she doesn’t just go jump in without an adult to assist her. We will definitely have to do more swimming lessons this winter!
