Has Anyone Seen Aubree Michelle??

Aubree learned a new trick. She discovered the art of peek-a-boo! Once she gets started though, she doesn't want to quit. She will try to play with anything too. Last night she was trying to hide behind her pacifier and this morning it was her stackable blocks she thought she could hide behind!!! JD and I just chuckle at her and she just joins right in.

And....Aubree got her first accident booboo! We were at PF Changs and Aubree was in the high chair. JD came to join us after he parked the truck so before he sat down, he leaned down to give Aubree kisses. She decided she would be bashful and was trying to hide her face from daddy. Well, she thought JD still had a hold of her and she threw her head forward and banged it on the edge of the table! Lets just say there was LOTS of screaming! JD felt sooooo bad! He must have said how bad he felt 100 times. Long story short, we ended up going home with 2 new outfits to make Aubree feel better....daddy's idea!!!!

See the purple bruise on the right of her forehead! It was there for almost a week!

9 Months!

Yet another month has flown by and Aubree is now 9 months old. She still isn't crawling but I think its gonna be any day now! We can tell that she is getting very frustrated with being immobile. She scoots around but she really only goes backwards. She just hasn't quite figured out how to get her knees up under her belly yet! Its soon.....I can feel it but boy oh boy will it add another dimension to parenting. We got a little dose of a mobile child when Rose and Cruz came for a visit this week. Not only was it hard to keep up with Cruz but our house wasn't exactly baby proof when he arrived. I thought I was doing good with outlet covers in the wall!!! I better get to work rearranging!!

Aubree and Cruz's first time in the swing by themselves! The swings were a little big but they still loved every minute of it!

Of course they wouldn't look at the camera!! Never fails!

Fun on the 4th!

Aubree LOVES the water!!! We always knew this because she loves to take baths but now its official after seeing her for the first time in an actual pool. Aunt Guinda had a pool party for the 4th of July (notice the patriotic swim suit!) and we lucked out and finally had a clear, sunny day. Can I just say cute, cute,cute!! I wish I had our video camera so that I could have caught her in action. Pictures couldn't capture her little legs kicking a mile a minute when she realized she could move herself! One thing I do know for sure.....Aubree will definitely be a better swimmer than her mommy. I think she already is!!

This was her kicking her way to her daddy when he called her

Field Trip!!

Aubree had her first field trip to the Children's Museum last week. A lot of the stuff there is meant for older kids but we made due. There is an area called the Tot Spot that is made for babies that she was able to enjoy. She loved just watching all of the kids run around and play and just being out of the house. Here are a few pics of our day!

Daddy had fun playing with all of the gadgets too!

Going for a little ride with mom!

It was so hot outside but she loved dippin' her toes in the water!

Aubree's new thing is giving kisses. She will give a kiss to any book or picture but it takes a little convincing to give a kiss to mommy and daddy. Here, she was kissing the baby in the picture!

She loved the ball pit at the Tot Spot

Notice the tongue? She was concentrating on her driving!

Playing at the Tot Spot with dad. Only problem was that she wanted to put everything in her mouth! Sooo many germs....we were freaking out a little!
