Easter

Today is Easter Sunday and we had such an amazing day with the family. It started off with us going to church and Aubrey was all dressed up in a cute yellow and white polka dot dress with a yellow flower to match. Everyone in church just went crazy over here and kept asking to take a picture of her. Needless to say she was a big hit at church.

After we came home Randy's parents and my brother, sister n law and the kids came over. We ate a wonderful dinner and then the kids has an Easter egg hunt. Aubrey got her first egg and found that there was a dollar in it. What a lucky girl she is. After that was over the adults had an egg hunt as well. Lots of neat prizes were to be found. Everyone got to relax and enjoy each other's company. So all in all it was a great day.

Aubrey is 4 month!

My smiling girl waiting for Dr. Sipher to come in.

On the 9th Aubrey turned 4 months. Well today we went in for her check up and man this girl is growing like a weed. She weighs in at 13 lbs and 8 oz, which puts her in the 50% of the group. She is also 25 inches long which puts her in the 75% of the group. Dr. Sipher was very pleased to see how much she has grown and the milestones she is conquering. There is a chart I have to answer for Aubrey and once I get 3 no's I am suppose to stop. Well today when I did it and got the results we found out Aubrey is doing things that a 6 1/2 month old would be doing.

She is becoming very advanced for her age and amazes us each and every day. She also had to get her second round of shots today. However, this did not go as well as I thought it would. She cried and cried and didn't calm down until she was dressed and in her car seat. On a happier note the doctor told us we could start solid foods with her. We are already feeding her oatmeal 2x a day. So we went to Walmart and picked up a bunch of stage 1 foods. We are going to be starting those tomorrow with Squash. Yum!

We are still rolling over from her tummy to her back and recently started making raspberry's with her lips. She has also learned that if she wants something bad enough that she can scoot on her belly to get it. We are in the early stages of crawling!

This was after a long afternoon of watching daddy play football. I don't want anyone to steal my rings so I am going to hold onto them.

Last night Randy made Aubrey laugh.

Aubrey's 3 month photo's!

Last week I took Aubrey to get her 3 month photo's done and she did such a great job. She didn't fuss or even cry the entire time we were there and the photographer was able to get lots of good shots. These are the photo's that I ordered and happen to be my favorites.

This one is for Oma because she made the blanket and embroidered the Giraffe for Aubrey.

I love this smile and it just happened to be the very first picture the lady took!

This one is my absolute favorite picture of her.

Aubrey got her ears pierced!

Today I took Aubrey to get her ears pierced! I was a bit nervous as to see how she was going to handle it, but my little girl is such a trooper. The lady pierced her left ear first and no tears, right after she was done piercing her right ear is when the water works started. Thankfully they only lasted about 30 seconds and then she was over it. So I took a couple of pictures to share with everyone!

Right before, I was more nervous than she was (can you tell by my red face?).

At home relaxing sucking on those fingers.

I know those are pink earrings and not Aubrey's birthstone, but I didn't want her to have blue earrings. People already think she is a boy and not a girl.

A Birthday wish for Uncle Cory

Yesterday was my brother Cory's birthday, and since we couldn't be with him to celebrate it Aubrey decided she was going to do a birthday dance for him. We were sitting at the doctor's office with my mom and Randy and Aubrey was showing us how her Uncle Cory dances. I hope everyone gets as much laughs out of this as we did. Enjoy!!

Shake your rumpshaker Uncle Cory!

Aubrey is 3 months!

Aubrey is now 3 months old and boy has this month gone by fast. So much has changed and she is growing like a weed right in front of our eyes. Aubrey is so alert and is constantly talking up a storm to us. She is cooing, smiling, and recently started laughing. It is super cute when she tries to laugh because she has no idea what she is doing but she is starting to figure it out slowly.

Aubrey has finally set herself a routine which makes for a smoother day and a happier mom and dad. We are now getting two naps during the day and a full 10 and half to 11 hours of sleep at night!! This past week has been a bit rough for us due to the fact that Aubrey has started teething. She is a bit fussier than normal in the afternoon, drools like it is no body's business and is constantly sucking on her thumb or fingers.

Sprinkles our cat will bring Aubrey one of her kitty toys to play with if she is on her mat. It is super cute. Sprinkles also will lay or sleep by her swing when she is in too. She is the super protective big kitty sister! Other than that we have a very fun and active day.

Watching my oma make breakfast!

I decided I needed to slide down and relax.

Hello everyone!

I really like tummy time now. I hold my head up so well.

I like to suck my thumb now since I started teething.
