Audrey has become extremely fascinated by repeating words and reciting what this are. She now knows the words that describe her body (head, toes, eyes, ears, etc.) and is learning animal names and noises. Her current favorite is "Nay" in reference to a horse. I don't think she is able quite yet to differentiate the noise from the name. She saw a horse pulling a carriage down the street today (a common tourist ride in downtown St. Louis), pointed, and said "Nay." She can also repeat her name and other people's names.
Audrey has also become extremely attached to a soft, pink stuffed puppy dog that we call "puppy." She takes it to school every day and takes it to bed with her each night. We forgot it when we went to the lake this weekend, but when we got home, she found it right away. Once she found it, she would not give it up again, not even to eat dinner. I never thought anything would come between her and food, but she was so upset that we wouldn't let her hold the puppy that she screamed through dinner and didn't finish her food.
We visited the lake of the Ozarks this weekend, and Audrey had a good time playing with the "Entourage" and their wives/girlfriends. She also had a good time with Logan. They played in the sprinklers together and even swam together for a little bit. Audrey even "swam" by herself for a few seconds; she had her life jacket on (of course), but we would let go of her hands and let her float without human assistance for a few seconds until she started to lose her balance and roll. She never got scared though; instead, she would squeal and giggle. Audrey also went tubing for the first time on Sunday. Her Papa Nance picked out a Torpedo/Rocket shaped tube. Daddy drove the wave-runner and mommy rode in the tube with Audrey. Every time we went past the dock, she would smile and wave at the attentive audience she had waiting back at the dock. There is no doubt in my mind at this point that Audrey will be a lake rat like her mom and dad.
