Day 9 with Audrey

Today was another good day with Audrey. We have a good bed time routine down (warm bottle of milk and I lay down with her on the bed) that may take a bit of time but there is little to no crying. She also had I think maybe one tantrum/fit and that was it.

We are observing her carefully to try and figure out what triggers the moods and swings that bring on the tantrums. We've been noticing large crowds cause her to withdraw and become very quiet. Then, if something doesn't go her way, a fit or tantrum might ensue.

So sometimes we have to turn around and go back to the room if we see warning signs coming on. Because we really don't like the fits ;-). Today we decided to tryout the pool.

It's definitely warm enough. VERY humid and thankfully overcast. If that sun peeks out, you can almost feel the sun sizzling your skin. And it's only been in the 80's and 90's - usually they are over 100 this time of year.

Audrey did very well for what is most likely her first experience in a swimming pool. In fact, she was pretty fearless.

It didn't take long before she was jumping off the edge into her Baba's arms. Laughing and smiling and completely enraptured when Jason would swim underwater.

We had the pool pretty much to ourselves it was so nice and relaxing.

Oh yes, I think she will have no problem keeping up with her sisters in the pool at home. I know she'll be keeping us on our toes!
