Audrey's Blog

  This is one of my favorite places to hang out. It's a little nook mom made for me under her office desk. I like to sit in here and read, play with my toys, or just relax while mom is on her computer. Every now and then I would pull on mom's leg so she remembers that I am down here.

Every Thursday Grandma Mesic comes over to take care of me for the day. Today, Di Thu suggested we all go out and play in the pile of fall leaves near the driveway. I had so much fun, there are so many colors. I loaded all the squashes into my little wagon and pushed it down the sidewalk. Then Di Thu lifted me up so I can touch all the leaves in the tree. We gathered the leaves together and threw it up in the air. Later that day, Grandma and I had a walk down the street. Unlike all the other walks where Grandma pushes me in my stroller. This time we were both walking. We went down about 5 houses, Grandma helped me a quarter of the way there, but the rest I did it on my own. It was so fun and nice to go out and run around.

    Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Di Hong, Happy Birthday to you! My aunt turns 2? this year, I can't tell you exactly how old because it's a secret. Funny thing, is her birthday is the day after mine. I hope you had a great one!

  Feel free to post in the comments section. Below is a message from Mom. Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Audrey, Happy Birthday to you! I can't believe mommy's little girl is turning ONE today. It's a bitter-sweet feeling on mom's part, but I am so happy and proud of you. You have really grown and changed so much over the past 12 months. Its simply incredible to watch you each week as you change and develop into the adorable little toddler you are today. There are so many things I want to wish for you. Let's start out this day with lots of giggles, laughs, hugs, and kisses.

  Every morning auntie Thu takes me outside to look at the leaves and all the different colors. My favorite is what the call the “Maple” trees out near our drive way. The leaves on there are so colorful and vibrant. It’s been so warm that we finally had a chilly day today. Mom prepared my warm clothes and I get to dance around in my red boots. I can’t wait till it rains so I can test them out in the puddles.

  After swim class and farmer’s market today, I had a lunch date with mom. We sat down in the middle of Third Street Promenade at the new French wine and cheese restaurant. I ordered a kid’s portion of chicken and French fries. The fries were yummy, but I didn’t care for the chicken. There were lots of pigeons around the area, some of which came by the table and joined us for lunch. Mom breaks up the bread pieces and shares it with them. My favorite is the free kid’s ice cream they give at the end of the meal, it was yummy.

    It’s a historical moment and mom says one day I will be reading about this in my history class. We went to our voting booth in the afternoon right after baby class. Mom let me hold the pen and help her mark the ballot. It’s too bad I will have to wait until I am 19 years old to vote. Voting is the first Tuesday of November and I am born in the second week of November. Although most of us can vote at 18, I am going to have to wait an extra year ;(
