Aubree's 1st Christmas

I've now realized that I didn't take ANY photos with my digital camera!! What a bad mommy!! I tried to just use our video camera, which also takes digital pictures, but that were awful! Here are a few that I think turned out "ok".

Look Mom!! I got a Ladybug Blankie!!

And a ladybug baby doll!!

And... I'm not afraid of Santa...

At least not this year!!

Aubree's Officially a John Deere Girl

Grammy bought Aubree the cutest bib overalls, and with it being 73 degrees here today, I took advantage and dressed her appropriately! :-) Later, she had on her John Deere bib too...and you can't see them, but she has on her John Deere socks as well!

Aubree Has A New Cousin

I've been meaning to show off my new nephew. Kyle and Steph became a mommy and daddy on December 12th at 5:07 a.m. California time, to Austin Skylar Aubrey! Congrats you two...or I guess I have to start saying you THREE! :-) Look at that head of hair!!!

Happy Birthday Papaw!

Aubree was having so much fun with Papaw this morning on his birthday! She was talking away...as he claims, she was telling him all kinds of jokes! Just wanted to post real quick to tell you Happy Birthday Dad!

We love you!

6 Months Old

Aubree turned 6 months old on Monday...and all I can think of is where did the time go???? I took her to the dr. today for her 6 mo. appointment and her second RSV shot. I thought that would be enough (3 shots), but when I got there, they suggested she get a flu shot too. 4 SHOTS....that hurts!!! As for her stats: She now weighs 13lbs 9 ounces which is in the 8%tile range for a 6 month old and the 25%tile range for her adjusted age of 4 1/2 months She's 25.5 inches long which is in the 44%tile range for a 6 month old and the 75%tile range for her adjusted age!!! What a LONG girl! She definitely take after her daddy! She went from being in the 10%tile range to the 44...I'd say that was a big growth spurt! She still can't sit on her own, but we continue to work on that. She talks, laughs, sings constantly. Loves to be in her jumper....even when she's not in it...she tries to use you as the floor so she can still bounce. She's our little froggy right now. We can't wait to see everyone for the Holiday's!!!!

Aubree's Daycare Party

Aubree and her twin cousins had their first Daycare Christmas party today.

Acutally....this would be Aubree's 1st time opening a gift, well...trying to open that is. All of the kids kept trying to play with her gifts, so mommy must have made good choices on her gifts!!

Love to the Grandparents!!

If you can't read her onesie, it says,

"Who needs Santa, I've got grandparents!"

First Bad Night...

I recently found out that Aubree's belly can't quite handle green beans. I originally tried them on her about a month ago, and she wasn't too fond of them. Daycare gave them to her again Monday, and I'm assuming the whole jar. She had a really yucky diaper shortly after getting home, but I didn't think anything of it at the time. That night, she started waking up at 10:30 screaming, so I put the binky in her mouth to soothe her. When that only lasted about 15-20 minutes, I kind of figured we'd have a bad night. Almost every 1/2 hour from then on until about 2:00 a.m., I had to keep getting out of bed to put the binky back in her mouth. Finally at 2:00 I decided to try a bottle. Right after I changed her diaper, she had an explosion!!! YUCK!! Nothing like that in the middle of the night when I'm use to her always doing her duty at daycare now. I even had to throw away the protection pad under her!!! Ugh! From 2:00-3:30 I would be able to get her back to sleep, but as soon as I'd lay her down, she'd wake right back up. So...needless to say, I finally had my first "bad" night with Aubree after having her home now for almost 5 months. Her belly ache continued until today (Wednesday). Daycare called me b/c she was having a lot of dirty loose diapers. 3 within the hour, when she also had one right before I took her there. So, I had to take her to Dr. Ress to make sure she didn't have some kind of virus...and thankfully she didn't. She got her first taste of Pedialyte and loved it! Mamaw Deedee must know her taste, because she loved the bubble gum flavor. Dr. Ress said her belly just can't handle green beans, so I'm sure it'll be awhile before we try them again....a LONG while!

Talky Girl...

Aubree has always cooed and babbled, but Monday when I picked her up from Daycare, she was a Chatter Box! She talked all afternoon, evening, and even sang herself to sleep. The next morning, she even woke up singing to herself...sooooo adorable!!
