Thanksgiving

As we all know last Thursday was Thanksgiving and it was also Aubrey's very first one! We had such a great day with the family even though something strange happened in the middle of the night. My mom's bottom oven door exploded and we have no idea why or how it happened. Thankfully our neighbors were out of town and we could have used their oven if we needed but a friend came to the rescue and we borrowed their bottom door of their oven. Yes you just read that right, they have the exact same oven and were not in need of it so we borrowed it and had a great Thanksgiving! Aubrey ate everything but the ham (she is like her mom doesn't like it) and sweet potatoes (I forgot to give it to her). She loves food so I knew it wouldn't be a problem.

Music Maker

Aubrey has become my little music maker! I wonder if she will continue this as she gets older.

Teething Bites!

People have always told me how hard teething is. I never really understood what they meant by it until Aubrey started teething herself. All those long lost nights of sleep and the pain the poor child is in. I wish there was something as a mother that I could do to make it less painful for her. Yes I do give her Tylenol or Ibuprofen plus the teething tablets but to be honest sometimes those don't always work. I think teething is even harder when you have more than one tooth coming in at the same time. This would be our case, as Aubrey cut two teeth in two days. Now we are back to cutting more teeth on the top and I think it will be another two. I have also heard that teething gets easier after her first four teeth come in. I guess we shall see if that statement is true or if poor Aubrey is doomed until she gets older and can handle the pain a little better.

For now I will just enjoy my little girl with her bottom two teeth and those other ones that are working their way in!

11 months which is Bitter Sweet!

Happy 11 months to my baby girl! I can't believe that in just 1 month my little girl will be 1 years old. She will no longer be a baby but a full fledged toddler instead. This last month is sorta bitter sweet for me. I am so excited that Aubrey is growing and learning new things but at the same time I wish she could stay little just a little longer. I am not ready for the toddler years quite yet.

Aubrey has changed so much this past month I can hardly believe it. On Halloween night we discovered Aubrey was teething majorly, the next day Aubrey had cut her first tooth! Two days later Aubrey cut her second tooth. So Aubrey now has her bottom 2 teeth which is super exciting to us. It is funny to watch her push her tongue back and forth over them because it is something new she has discovered. Her gums are really swollen on the top so those teeth shouldn't be far behind. She has gotten really good at walking along the furniture and with her walking toy. It shouldn't be long now before she walks on her own. I have caught her a few times trying to stand on her own (mostly in her crib).

Happy Halloween!

Last night was such a great first Halloween for Aubrey. Even though she is teething she was such a trooper all throughout the day and night. During the day Aubrey was a lovely flower and we took her to the mall to shop. She was a very big hit it needless to say. At night she turned into a wild Giraffe and two Zoo Keepers had to tame her. All the neighbors got such a big kick out of seeing such a cute little girl trick or treating that they were not shy to hand out candy. Mom and dad made out good with her candy stash!
