7 Months!

Holy crap!  I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged.  I've been making my rounds and commenting here and there.

Today my baby girl is 7 months old.  People always told me that it goes by so fast.  Now, I believe it. 

Aubri was sick for the first time this week.  Poor little thing had a stuffy nose.  Tuesday night was rough.  She finally gave in about about 4:30 a.m.

She has quite the little personality now.  She's always smiling.  And besides when she was sick, she usually doesn't cry.  Whine, yes, once in awhile. (Probably gets that from her mama) 

She's is in love with her daddy.  I go to school on Monday nights so they get to spend a lot of one on one time together.  Matt is such a good dad.  He spends tons of time with her.  He feeds, changes, and plays with her because he wants to.

She weighed almost 18 pounds at her last doctor's appointment.  And was 26 inches long.

She loves baby food.  The meat, no so much.  But she loves her fruits and vegetables.

She is wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

She sits up on her own and is starting to try to pull her self up on things.

She knows how to wave bye-bye.

She can drink out of straw.  And she uses a sippy cup sometimes.

She can roll from back to front and front to back.

She thinks Vinnie is hilarious.

She loves the Baby 1st channel. (Yes, I let my baby watch TV.)

She sleeps in her crib every night.  But we still have the pack n play in our room for 'mergencies.

It's hard to remember our lives before she was here.

She has my vote!

Mimi for President!

That is all!

Happy Halloween! And a 6 month update!

I'm alive!  All is well.  I've just been busy.

This past weekend I worked.  Mom and Dad took Aubri to a Halloween party.  And she stayed the night at their house.  *Gulp*  Yes, she stayed the night at their house for the first time.  I felt a little lost the whole time I was at work.  But she had a good time.  I slept somewhat decently.  

Here are a few pictures from the Halloween party she attended....

And then from this morning in her witch jammies.

Aubria is six months old today.  Time really does fly when you are blessed with an angel like her.

We go to the doctor next week for her check-up.  I'm guessing she weighs around 16 pounds.

She is wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

She rolls from back to stomach but not from stomach to back.

She can sit up but falls over sometimes.

She loves her exercauser.  

She eats vegetables and fruits now.

And baby cereal for breakfast.

She takes 5-6 ounces of formula at a time.

She loves to "talk."

She has us trained.

She's sleeping good in her own bed, most of the time.

She loves her tag blankets.

She thinks the dogs are hilarious.  She even pets them now.

I actually can't remember what life was like before we were blessed with her.  We love her so much and remind her everyday.

Hope you all have a very Happy Halloween!

Where does the time go?

I've a few requests for a blog.  Also, a few, "Are you still alive?"


I'm alive.  All is well.  Just been busy spending time with our baby girl.


Since I've blogged last.....

We've went camping,

been cheering for the Cardinals to win another World Series,

sleeping all night in our big girl bed, (sigh....)

wore shoes, and went shopping,

and celebrated Aunt Shelley's Birthday.

I'll do a real update soon.  Promise.  

Hope you are all doing great!

A quickie

I've been super busy but I thought I'd give you a quick update on my life.

What's up with this new look from blogger?  I'm confused.

Aubri's growing like a weed. 

She's eating baby food now.  Last week was carrots.  This week it's peas.  She likes the carrots better. 

She's still sleeping in our room in her rock n play.  We are camping this weekend and next Saturday.  After that, we are going to start making the transition to getting her in her crib.  For now, I'm loving waking up to her pretty smile everyday.

Aubri's favorite Uncle Lyle (my brother) asked his girlfriend of 5 years to marry him this past weekend.  She said "yes."  She's a great person and we all have always loved her.  The wedding won't be for at least a year and a half so there is no need to go a on diet yet.

Yesterday, I had a consultation with an OB about birth control.  I'm on the pill now but I'm going to get the Marena next week.  Any one have any thoughts on Marena?

School is going okay so far.  I'd rather be home with my baby and my husband but I know someday it will be worth it.  I only have 4 classes left after this semester.  One class has to be taken in the fall so by the end of the next fall semester, I should be able to grad-e-ate.  I'm still hanging on to my 4.0, too. 

We re-financed our house recently.  What a pain in the ass that was!  But it's done are going to save a ton of money in interest.

That's about all I know.  

Hope you all have a great week!
