Even though today's officially the day, we had a party for Ms. A at Thanksgiving with my family. I'm not sure when we'll get a chance to be together like this again, so it was special all the way around.
Everyone helped make the awesome Kermit cake you see below. I made the cake itself, her Aunts mixed the frosting colors, and Justin did the actual Kermit icing. There was a ridiculous amount of love baked into that thing, and get this -- the girl didn't eat it! She just played with it instead. What's that about? My sister and I were stunned. Women in our family never ever ever turn down cake. Obviously she must have inherited this trait from the crazy Swedes in her family. Nutty Swedes.

Aud @ 11 months
Audrey is in a period of phenomenal growth right now. In just the last three or four weeks, she's picked up the following tricks:
- Says "more", "wa wa", and "nie" (no in Polish)
- Identifies, and points to, her hair, teeth, lights, bubbles, and Ringo
- Continues to love books. Her favorites include Kiss Goodnight and I am a Bunny (In fact, she can point to the bunny in every page.)
- Can hold a small cup independently (I'll post a funny pic of this later.)
- Loves music
- Has a thing about copying sounds and noises. Last week she did a pretty good impression of the neighbor's leaf blower.
- Shows pride when she accomplishes things. She'll often clap for herself, which of course prompts us to join her in praise.
- She's ready to walk any minute. In fact, her determination was on big display at Thanksgiving where she spent the entire trip studying her 2 year-old cousin Hunter's moves.
