Weekend Visiting Family and Friends

The three of us made a trip up to Marion to visit Grammy and Pop Pop, and to go to the James Dean Festival. Aubree got to meet her cousins Julie and Aliva, (born 4 days before Aubree).

After leaving Marion on Sunday, we stopped off in Camby to visits a few friends. Aubree got to meet Kim, Kevin, and Emalyn.

Then, the Myers came over to meet Aubree while we were at Kim and Kevin's. She got to meet Kim, Marcus, Owen, and Reise! Finally...after our long drive back home, Aubree tested out a few of her new gifts! Grammy got her the fairy wings, Kim Myers made her the Colts quilt and bought her her 1st Vera Bradley purse like Mommy carries! She also got a lot of cute outfits, but they were getting washed so she can wear them soon. It was so nice seeing everyone!! Thank you so much for all her wonderful gifts! We can't wait to see everyone again!

Random Photos from Aubree's 1st 3 Months

Even though they lost...we still support them!!

We found her a Colt's cheerleading uniform at Walmart, and couldn't resist getting it for her. She also has a colts binkie, but we forgot to include it in the pictures!

Our Little Ladybug is 3 Months Old Today!!

I can't believe how time flies...but the saying is definitely true. It flies when you're having fun, and I can't even put into words how much "fun" it is to be a mommy to this beautiful little girl! Some milestones Aubree has accomplished by 3 Months: -Cooing/talking -Smiling -Discovered her hands -Discovered her hands can find her mouth! -Rolled over from tummy to back, but hasn't mastered it by any means -Recognizes mommy, daddy and many others -Holds her head up for long periods of time -Sits up when propped up w/ pillow -Discovered she has a LOT of lung power!! :-) She's definitely making up for not fussing at all for the 1st 2 months!! We tried to get 3 month pictures taken on Sunday, but that's when the high storm winds came through and kept us stranded from going anywhere..."see picture" So...we're going to try to just go up to Walmart now for her 3 months sometime this week. Hopefully we'll get the chance, and I'll have the pictures posted soon.

Daddy Caught Aubree Playing On The Changing Table

Can you tell Aubree LOVES her changing table that Papaw Aubrey made for her?? This is her FAVORITE spot!!

Aubree Dancing to Daddy Singing Elvira

Aubree was fussy, so Ben decided to have her dance to Elvira! She loved it...until he stopped that is!

How Is It Possible???

How is it possible that I spend almost every moment with Aubree when we get home from School, yet I managed to miss her rolling over for the 1st time?? I handed her off to Ben while I grabbed my stuff to pump, and told him to lay her down on her Rainforest Playmat. Of course, he did, and she did it...without Mommy in the room to see her do it. :-( Just about an hour earlier, she had rolled up to her side, but I thought it was just a fluke. When she did it for Ben, she continued to roll on over...Poor thing scared herself half to death when she flopped onto her back. Of course, I now try to get it on camera...and she's not cooperating!!

Aubree Showing Love To All Her Family Members! :-)

Sick Girl

It only took one week of Daycare to get Aubree sick. She's been sneezing and coughing for a few days, but last night she started getting congested sounding. I don't want to be overly worried everytime she gets sick, but since she's still under three months, the doctor said to bring her in even if she gets a cough. Of course, it's just a cold, but I didn't want to take any chances. So, we left school and daycare early today to see the doctor and then I took the rest of the day off to snuggle with her. I REALLY miss being able to spend all day with her to be there when she needs me. So, it's nice to have so many days to be able to take of to take care of her, rather than having someone else do it for me. We took her out for a walk to get some fresh air. She loved looking at everything, but when we got back, Ben laid her down on her belly and she conked out.

Yea for POOP!!!

I never thought I'd get sooooo excited about poop, but at 10:15 P.M. on Monday, September 8th...Aubree FINALLY POOPED!!!! She usuall goes at least once a day if not more, and for the last 9 days, she hasn't went. As she was finishing her night bottle, she started passing more gas, as she has been for the last 9 days, but then she did it!! Ben even had to come check it out. Can you believe we're this excited about a stinky diaper???

1st Day at Daycare

Well, my leave is officially over...

Today I started back to work, and Aubree had her 1st day at daycare. I figured she'd give them some troubles because she hasn't had a BM in 3 days, and she's been super gassy. BUT...she didn't give them a peep. I was good and only checked on her twice!! The first time she was sleeping, so I only peeked at her, but then I went in on my lunch to visit and cuddle. I thought I did very well dropping her off with only a few tears, but of course she is only upstairs from my room, so that makes it MUCH easier! As you can tell in the picture, she wasn't too excited about going. I had to wake her up this morning to dress her, then she feel right back to sleep and didn't wake up for them until 9:15. Tomorrow is Picture Day at our school, so her and her cousins Rylyn and Kelton get their first school picture!! They're growing up WAY too fast!
