Aubree in California

Aubree went on her 1st trip on a plane to see her Aunt Steph, Uncle Kyle and Cousin Austin. Here she is in Rochelle's suitcase getting ready to become a stow-away!

Aubree posing with her BEAUTIFUL cousin Austin!While there we went to Half Moon Bay Brewery for a delicious lunch. Aubree got to test out one of her new sunhats. It doesn't look exactly like it should because I had to have it pushed back a little here in the picture...as you can tell she was eating, and she's not the cleanest eater.

You can see part of the beach behind Rochelle. We ended up coming back to this part to get more pictures, but we drove to a place called Half Moon Bay Beach 1st.

At Half Moon Bay Beach we went for a nice stroll to see a place called Mavericks which is where people come from all over the world to surf during certain times in the year when the waves are super large. A lot of people have acutually died doing so, but yet they continue to come. The last picture is the area where people surf.

And...to finish things off, here is a short slideshow of a variety of photos while we've been out here. I'll post more tomorrow after our photoshoot with Rochelle!

Everything All At Once...

I said all along that Aubree probably would walk before she crawls, but she may prove me wrong. However, she DOES prefer to stand and hold on to things to walk around, but I think she decided that "trying" to crawl seems pretty interesting to her now. She definitely doesn't have it down pat, but I'd say in the next few days she'll become a pro.

Oh No...Here We Go!!!

Aubree has been home sick from Daycare since last Friday. I stayed home with her Friday, Ben took yesterday and mom stayed with her today (St. Patty's Day). Of course, here I am...enjoying my lunch at school and I get a text message.

"Aubree just pulled up by herself on the table you brought home last night." :-(

I seem to miss out on all her milestones!! First I missed out on her rolling over for the first time...now this! What's next?? Am I going to miss her 1st steps??? My little girl is growing up...way too quick! Which only means trouble lies ahead...she'll be in to EVERYTHING!!!

For some reason this video uploaded the wrong direction, even after I rotated and saved it...and I'm not about to upload it again because it takes FOREVER. So, tilt you head and enjoy :-)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

You can't read her onesie, but it says "Mommy's Lucky Charm"

MumMum

So Aubree's been a little ham lately. She was sitting in my lap the other night for dinner and decided she wanted to eat what I was eating, so she did just that. Everything I had on my plate, she ate...even the pork, which I didn't think she'd do real well with, but she suprised me. Then daddy got her a MumMum out. She's had the puffs that melt in her mouth, but this was her first mummum.

Aubree's 1st MumMum

I really don't think she knew what to do with it as you can tell in the pictures! (Click on the picture above to see all of the pictures in the album) Then to add a top of all the food from dinner and the MumMum, daddy then decided to give her some chocolate icecream (her favorite by the way!). She's such a mess! There's also some photos of her playing in her new favorite toy.....a BOX. I think every baby must enjoy a good box sometime or another in their life...it's cheap! :-) The last photos are of her enjoying the chance to get to play with her spoon and wash cloth. I absolutely hate her being dirty...dirty hands, nose, mouth, ANYTHING....so I don't ever let her play with her food. She was such a good girl tonight when she was eating that I thought I'd give in and allow a little mess. Of course, that ended with papaw giving her some rootbeer float! I think they're all trying to make my daughter a little fatty!

Aubree's Rockin' Chair

I have had this little rocking chair for a long time. I remember it was originally red, but when we painted my room blue and yellow, dad painted the chair yellow for me. So, I found it down in the basement last week and of course thought about Aubree. I had dad paint it red for me again so I could paint black dots all over it to make it look like a ladybug, but he convinced me to use decals instead. I'm so glad he did...it was so much easier to do. I love it...if you can't tell, her name is on the top, and "Little Lady" is on the second bar across. Then there are little ladybugs "crawling" all over the arms, poles, and legs! Go figure huh?? :-)

Mommy's Birthday Dinner and Day

My family took me out for my birthday on Saturday. We went to eat at my favorite restaurant, TGI Friday's. Aubree had a great time sitting on the table being the center or attention and trying papaw's deep fried green beans!! YUCK!! She wouldn't exactly eat them, she would more or less suck on it.

Then daddy took Aubree first thing in the morning on the day of my birthday so mommy could actually sleep in...I use to be able to sleep until noon or later, hmmmph...how come I can't do that now??? Even when she's not here to wake me up?? I ended up getting up around 10ish, and Ben had a birthday gift for me. As you can tell, once I got it out of the bag, Aubree ended up liking the bag more than the toys around her.
