4th of July and 7 months already

We had a very low key 4th of July this year. We simply hung around the house and did nothing. It was so nice to just hang out with family and not worry about anything or anyone. Aubrey had a great day. She got to hang out in the grass, sun bathe, watch everyone play games and even got her very own chicken and noodles (which she loves) We didn't light off any fireworks because I didn't know how Aubrey would react to them and plus everyone had to get up super early for work. So most of us were in bed by 9. haha

Yesterday Aubrey hit 7 months! Where oh where has this time gone? I can't believe that in just 5 short months I will have a 1 year old. For her special day we headed down to Portland to meet with my friend Susan and her son Ted who is 5 days younger than Aubrey. We met up at the Portland Zoo which was a lot of fun. We walked around, took lots of pictures, rode the train and just had a fun filled day. Aubrey is growing so fast I can hardly believe it. She still doesn't have any teeth or hair, but that is okay.

We are still doing baby jar food, but we have been giving her our food as well. She seems to really like any kind of chicken and noodles. If for some reason I don't share she just helps herself to my plate. Her favorites are mashed potatoes, corn with sweet potatoes, mixed veggies, butternut squash, and all of the fruits. We have been giving her snacks through out the day as well and her favorites are the puffs or yogurt melts.

Tummy time has become a rolling match for us. She just can't seem to stay on her back. She is either rolling away from me (when getting her dressed or changing a diaper) or rolling towards me (when I have food). Still no crawling but we do seem rather interested in it. Aubrey just hasn't figured it out yet. She loves standing and jumping. The other day I stood her up in her crib and she was so excited she started moving and wiggling.
