Audrey's giggle

Our video camera is so awesome that blogger has a hard time loading any video longer than 30 Sec. So I cut out everything but the laughs, compressed it....and whala! For your viewing pleasure. Paul is so good at making her smile and laugh.

6 Months

Label me a bad blogger. It's been a while again. I have made goals. They have fallen through. I've made new goals....we'll see how it goes. Expect to see at least one post a week (not that I have fans). I know someday all of this work/entertainment is going to make a really great book.
I can't tell you how much I have loved six months. Contagious giggle. Three different smiles. The nose crinkle. The MMMMmmmm every time I give her a new bite of food. I love her. Who couldn't?

It couldn't be valentines month without a few love photos from Audrey!

This is Audrey's best baby friend. Isn't she beautiful? They love to grab at each other and talk back and forth. I'm going to be sad when we have to leave and I can't watch these two play together anymore.

Red Velvet Cupcake Bake Off

WARNING: Do not wear anything you like while making Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Oh yes we did. We had a Cupcake Bake Off. I know your jealous! I'm on a mission to find the best cupcake recipes. After having the worst cupcake I have ever had from a local bakery I'm determined to collect a few of the best for future occasions. Audrey...I'm looking out for you! Red Velvet was the first. Tam and I each tackled a recipe. We had to make two recipes to see which was the best. So the competition began. Things were going in my favor. Mine even looked better...until it came time for tasting. Really they weren't bad but they did need half as much vinegar and definitely unsalted butter. If I fixed those two things I am confident I would have a perfectly moist Red Velvet Cupcake. If you trust me you can try it for yourself here.
I would try it for you but I'm pretty sure my insides are still dyed red from the last batch. I'm going to have to wait another good six months before we revisit Red Velvet. It has left it's mark.

Fuzzy Pictures but you get the idea.
Thanks for inviting me Tam. I think next week we should make these. Is it a date?
