Trace back to previous milestones here.
Audra, What a whirlwind the last couple of weeks were! We came back from Florida and then celebrated Christmas, New Year's and your half birthday within a couple of days! I didn't get any pictures, but you definitely got a huge piece of homemade swiss cake roll for your half birthday and a couple of gifts. Most importantly, we happened to be with friends.
You are the most creative girl I know. Your handwork impresses me endlessly. You are coming to me with something else you have made daily. Beadwork has been a long phase you've been in and you are always gifting people your creations. You also are into drawing landscapes and people with pencil lately.
You love your friends and keep up with several via messenger kids. You are good at checking in your friends, remembering what's important to them and coming up with things to do.
You love your audiobooks and almost always have one going on. I love what you told me the other day...before you borrow, you read up to see if it's appropriate. I love that.
You still hate waiting and hate to talk about things that are tricky for you. You've recently commenced a series of appointments that you'd prefer to skip, but have faced them bravely. For that, I'm super proud.
You are very attached to your mama, always know what I'm up to and you are frequently in my bubble. You actually said that the worst parts of your life are when I go away. I'm glad you feel encouraged and comforted by me!
You are a top baker. You go on kicks...you made 8 batches of granola one week. Cookie cake everyday for a week straight. You mass produce dog treats. Today it was a big batch of pancakes. The picking up part is the next step....
Your snacks as of late are apples, oranges and carrot sticks. Your current fave sandwich is grilled cheese on homemade bread, piled with my homemade sauerkraut. Yum.
You have more obstacles than many, but I know you can do anything you set your mind to do with that 'can do' spirit! Each success, we celebrate. I love you, Audra Grace!
Love, Mama
