Looking over photos of Audra recently, it has become more and more obvious that my baby is gone and in her place is a strong, and determined almost 2 year old. Never afraid to speak her mind or to be heard, though the words are not always to be found. "No" and an indignant "Hey!" are in high use in our house.
For all her moxy, she is also sweet and sensitive, and can often be found putting herself in time out with a heavy heart over a stern word "Stop!". She is full of hugs and pats. Kisses are reserved for special occasions, though I have been the lucky receiver a few times. They are soft, and slobbery and lovely because I know they are coming from the heart.
Her favourite thing in the world is to dance and to drum. She has amazing rhythm, and will turn anything she can into a percussion instrument. She loves to play posting games, and has strong ball skills - her throwing is spot on, and usually to the face.
She still favours the sensation of a towel on her face and in her fingers for when she is seeking comfort. Though a satin edged blanket is what helps her off to sleep at night. She sings to herself, in her babble and laughs as readily today as she did at 10 weeks old. Such a sense of humour, which is often not appreciated when she is running off with something, or throwing something directly at your face.
Little one, I can not believe you are nearly 2. It feels like you have been here forever. You fit into our family as if you were always meant to be here. I love you so much Audra Paudra.

| Cheeky girl! |
