I have a long post written about our adventures in Chicago this weekend. I'm still waiting to get our camera cord back. In the meantime here's my little fairy tale girl.

Stats
I like to record Audrey's stats on the blog so I can easily find them later. Here they are. I don't have a picture because our camera cord is being loaned to someone else.
15 months stats:
Weight: 19 lbs 7oz, 5th percentile (yes she does eat!)
Height: 31 inches, 68th percentile
Head Circ: 44.7cm, 18th percentile
What a skinny little runt! She is growing and following her growth curve perfectly though, so no one is worried at all. I think she probably slowed the weight gain this last month due to cutting back to one nap a day. Now there are 2 more hours in the day to climb! And climb she does! Recently I went to visit a friend and before I could get my shoes off at the door, Audrey ran over and climbed on top of my friend's kitchen table! Triumph! She definitely keeps us busy!
On second thought, I do have a couple of pictures to post that were taken in CA in July.

What I see right now...
Three images from my perspective right now.
My cutie eating lunch and giving me a scrunched up smile.
My other cutie sewing himself a bivy sac for the Boy Scout high adventure trip.
I am chopping veggies from the farmers market for a soup.
...life is good.

Picture of the day
Audrey and I went to the zoo! She must have really enjoyed it too because she came home and slept for 4 hours!

Baa, Mmm, Ssss, Neh, Arr, Hahhah, baba...
Audrey is learning how to make animal sounds! She loves animals and is delighted when she makes the correct sound! So far she has mastered the sheep, cow, snake, horse, lion, dog and chicken. In keeping with the animal sound theme that has dominated our home in the last week Audrey and I visited a local farm today that has a petting farm set up. She was in heaven! It was the middle of the day so many of the animals were resting but I was thrilled when one of the sheep let out a loud 'BAAA'! Audrey laughed and laughed! What fun it is to have a toddler!
These were baby goats that, fortunately, didn't have teeth because Audrey loved when they would nibble and suck on her fingers.
An expert 2 handed milker!
Audrey could have chased these baby turkeys all afternoon! So entertaining!

July in California
This month is flying by! Our whole little family got to take a trip to California! Mitchell stayed 4 days and Audrey and I stayed 2 weeks! It was great and we just got back yesterday. Mitchell sure was ready to have his girls back!
My little (haha, not so little. He's a man now) brother returned from his LDS mission on July 6th! It was so fantastic to see him again after 2 years of serving in San Antonio, TX. We got family pictures taken. I have only seen a small preview of them but here's the one of all 4 siblings! Love it! We all love how James' giant wingspan reaches around all of his sisters. There are perks to being 6'1"! Can you tell we're all related?
We also got to visit Grandma Peterson in Palo Alto. It was a fun visit! We got a picnic lunch from the local deli and walked to a really fun park. We all really enjoyed the day! We hope it isn't too long between visits! Love you Grandma Peterson!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous the whole time we were there so we spent a lot of time outside! Mitchell, my dad, our bro in law Jarrel and I went white water rafting one Saturday! So fun! Thanks Dad for putting that together! Makes me remember my childhood, rafting every Saturday all summer!
There were many trips to the park, morning walks and playing with the cousins. Summer is so grown up and Ricky is the smiley-est baby I know! We went to Fairy Tale Town with Jarrel, Lynn and Summer and Ricky. James, Eileen and Mom came along for the fun too! I remember going to Fairytale Town as a kid so it was fun to see Audrey enjoying it too! Basically it is a very old (built in the 50s) amusement park for young kids based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes. There are climbing structures, slides, a barn with animals to look at, open grassy areas and an Indian teepee. The little girls loved it!
Peter Cottontail. In the cages behind the large blue bunny were 4 live rabbits that the kids could look at. Their names are: Flopsy, Mopsy, Peter and Cottontail.
