Dear Audrey, It's not my practice (I don't think?) to write an 18 month letter to my babies, but I have yet to write many letters to you on this ol' blog to mark your milestones, so an 18 month letter it is! The lack of letters is not a sign of  lack of love or interest in recording your early years...I'm simply too busy either snuggling you and pulling you off of the kitchen table! (also, true confession, my brain is tired) Your birth feels like forever ago but it's still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that you've been hanging with us for one and half years now. You bring us so many smiles every day, Baby #3. At 18 months you can... walk, run, climb, sign "more" and "all done", sleep through the night, find your special lovey no matter where we hide it (to keep you from sucking your thumb), tell us when you have a dirty diaper and say a handful of "words" Words like...

This is not a surprise as it is a cheap one from CVS, bought almost ten years ago after our honeymoon "Huh. Weird. No blow dryer? I guess I've been using my moms for my entire life  awhile" It's been a work horse and I'd like to a) publicly thank it for its years of service b) apologize for all the times I dried my hair in Florida, got hot and cranky and hated my poor, innocent blow dryer. Now I'm torn. Do I A) Keep it and spend 3 hours a day drying my hair B) Not replace it and let my natural hair run wild and air dried C) Dip into our college fund and buy a super expensive one that will torch my hair, in a stylish way, in 3.75 seconds 2. My life has seemed a little more loud and chaotic recently and I couldn't figure out the change until Kent clued me in on it. AUDI ANNA KEEPS YELLING AT ME. She went from no w...
