Aubree Has Been Busy!

So much to blog about and so little time! I get so far behind (just like my scrapbooking) and it just seems like so much has been going on with my punkin wunkin! First thing is that we have been attempting to spoon feed rice cereal! Oh boy was that interesting.....and messy! I will just say that there was some gagging! For the most part she did pretty good considering shes never had a spoon in her mouth. Occasionally she will swallow whats in her mouth but for the most part it ends up on her cheeks and sometimes her eyes!



What else??!! She also went to her first birthday party for her cousin Ava who turned 1! It was at the YMCA activity center and Aubree was amazed at all of the colors and kids running around. At first, we didn't think there would be anything for her to do because she is so little but then we spotted this bright colored, cushy, round thing on wheels that looked just her size. We put her in it and wheeled her around a little and she loved it!


She started giggling last week and she just thought that this was hilarious! I would push her backwards and then forward towards me and she laughed over and over! It was the most we had ever heard her laugh yet!



She also started blowing bubbles! She is constantly making noises and making this face! Her cheeks must hurt because she does it for hours and hours out of the day! Super cute though!



And last.....she has been busy getting kisses, kisses, and more kisses from everybody! Her mommy and daddy just can't stop! I can't imagine what must go through her mind......especially in this picture!

My Funny Valentine

We had a wonderful day with our lovey dovey! Who needs chocolate when you have an Aubree Michelle? We just want to eat her up! She is such a sweetie!







Smile.....of course not! She was too busy people watching!

We got Aubree the cutest Elmo ever. Its called Many Kisses Elmo. When you squeeze his right hand he talks and when you put his left hand up to his mouth he blows kisses!! Too cute!

Its So Hard to Say Goodbye

Sweet MiMi passed away early Sunday morning after a long, hard battle with cancer. She lived with this horrible disease for over 17 years before it finally took her over. I encourage everyone to go to the America Cancer Society website and join the fight against cancer. If we are lucky, maybe a cure for cancer will be found during our lifetime.


Although MiMi didn't have much to say towards the end, her face always lit up when she saw Aubree Michelle! Less than a week ago when her words were getting fewer and far between, I sat Aubree in front of her and she opened her eyes, smiled and said "Isn't she just the most precious thing?" We will always tell Aubree how just the sight of her would bring such joy to her Great Meems in more ways than she will ever be able to understand.

What a Wonderful Way to Brighten Moms Day!

I was soooo sad that I had to work today so JD was nice enough to bring my love bug to the store to see me! I am lucky enough to work a lot closer to home now so I can see Aubree if I ever need a fix. Its always so amazing to see that gummy smile and big dimple! She only stayed for a few minutes (and I tried to get them to take me home with them but it didn't work!) but it was all I needed especially since she is usually asleep by the time I get home.


It was taken with a cell phone so its a little blurry
