Clean Girl

Aubree's bathtub is getting too short for her, and we really don't have an easily accessaible "bathtub" to use here (glass doors make it hard to use), so we started giving her a bath in the sink. Ben had the spicket out of the faucet letting Aubree play with the water, and she decided she wanted to take a little "sip" of it. It reminded me of a child first learning how to use a water fountain. I got a good picture of her acutally drinking the water, and a video as well. She really acted like she wanted to drink more, but after mommy and daddy laugher so hard at her, she thought twice about whether she really wanted to get laughed at again.

Pictures Created by Mommy

After the last photo shoot with Rochelle, I finally decided to break down and buy a program that I've wanted for a while now, in order to create the look of some photos that I love. Here are three that I have been playing around with, and I plan to do more!! It's a really cool program, if you can't tell how excited I am about it!

I have ALWAYS loved the pictures that are black and white, but have spots of color in them, so that's what you're seeing here. I've also figured out how to make Aubree's eyes look even more blue than they really are...as you can tell in the middle picture. The first and third picture also have her blues eyes colored, but the pictures here are too small to tell. Oh yeah...I also figured out how to actually "change" the color of her eyes...talk about weird! I made her have green eyes, and let me tell you...my daughter was "MEANT" to have blue eyes. Green is just not her color. :-)

Aubree At 8 Months

Our wonderful family photographer was down again this weekend, so we were able to get more pictures of Aubree. Here are a few of the good pictures that we played around with. I LOVE the yellow dress my great aunt sent me when she was born. It's still a little big, but should be perfect for Easter. I've put in a couple of pictures below, but to see the rest, click on the big ladybug.

Here she is in her Easter dress, she loved the little eggs:

We also tried a ladybug shoot, but she wasnt' too cooperative:

Yay...It's FINALLY Here!!

After 4 months of waiting, wiping drool everytime I turn around, and letting her chew on everything from her toes to my cell phone....it FINALLY happened! Aubree got her first toofers!! :-) I know..tooth, but I've always called them toofers for babies, don't ask me why!! I've been checking every day since I don't know when, and today when I checked it was just there. Of course, I had to stick my finger in there just to double check, and YEP...it's a tooth!! I definitely will NOT be sticking my finger in her mouth for her to chew on in the near future.

Aubree's Many Valentine's Day Outfits

Aubree had so many Valentine's Day outfits that she started wearing them the week before to school so she could actually wear each of them at least once. Click her picture below to see the collage of her outfits.

Aubree Enjoying A Valentine

Daycare had a Valentine exchange, so we thought we'd let Aubree try out her 1st sucker. She loved it!! When my mom would pull it out of her mouth to say something to me, Aubree would lean over with mouth wide open trying to get the sucker back in her mouth. She definitely enjoyed it. I know what I'll be taking with me on our flight to California to make her happy if she gets restless or grouchy!
