Tonight when we were coming home from Grandma Gibby’s house, we were playing games made up by a 5-year-old. (Audrey said, “Let’s play a game called, ‘Let’s see if you can sing a song that you know’. How you play is, you sing a song that you know.”) When we got to the game called… Continue reading Telling Stories

Breaking the Habit *
Since Audrey was a very young baby, she has sucked her thumb. It was great for us when she was tiny, because it meant she could comfort herself and stay asleep all night. No 2 a.m. feeding for that 7-month-old! (You hear me, Nathan?!) But for the last year or so, it… Continue reading Breaking the Habit *
City Girl
We had a great time camping with the Gibbys at Box Elder Campground near Mantua this week. Audrey had a ton of fun running around with her second cousins the Shaw kids. This was her first-ever camping trip. I realized that I’m raising a city girl when we were walking down a little… Continue reading City Girl
Spewing Audrey Out
Audrey has never been a big fan of hot meals. Since she was a baby, we’ve had to put her food in the freezer after it’s pulled out of the oven before she’d eat it. (For a while, she even thought the blessing on the food was so that her food could get cold.) But… Continue reading Spewing Audrey Out
Not quite visions of Sugarplums
Sarah and I spent Christmas Eve night at my parents’ house. Audrey was in the little toddler bed next to our bed. Sometime in the middle of the night, she started talking. “Bob the Builder. Can we fix it? Bob the Builder. Yes we can.” We’d never heard her talk in her sleep before, so… Continue reading Not quite visions of Sugarplums
“Presents on the tree”?
Today in the car with Sarah, Audrey heard the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” on the radio. I wasn’t there and didn’t hear exactly what she said, but when she heard the line Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree, she said in effect, “You don’t put presents on the tree.… Continue reading “Presents on the tree”?
Freaking over flies
For the last few weeks, Audrey has been afraid of bugs in general, flies in particular. Every time she’d see one, she’d get agitated and shout at it, “Go ‘way, f’y!” (Her l’s are non-existent at this time. She doesn’t have r’s down yet either.) But a couple of days ago we were in the… Continue reading Freaking over flies
City Sidewalks, Busy Sidewalks
Last night we went up to Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. It took us forever to get there because the streets were packed and there was absolutely no parking. Neither Sarah nor I have ever seen so many cars in Salt Lake. I was getting aggravated and we were ready… Continue reading City Sidewalks, Busy Sidewalks
2005 Christmas Letter (from the Gibbys)
Happy Holidays! We have truly had a great year in 2005, full of simple joys and lasting memories. Our greatest joy is for the safe and healthy birth of our daughter Audrey. The first half of the year the time inched by as we anticipated her arrival. (Since then, the year has gone by incredibly… Continue reading 2005 Christmas Letter (from the Gibbys)
Audrey Update
Long time no blog. I’ve gotten out of the habit recently; I guess it’s more fun to add pictures to this site than it is to actually write here. Audrey is 4 and a half months old now. She’s been rolling from her back to her tummy for weeks now (but never the other way… Continue reading Audrey Update
