6-month checkup

Aubree went in for her 6-month checkup on Monday. She was 15 lbs 15 oz and 26 inches long. The doc thinks she's growing well and is pretty much right in the middle for weight and height. She was sad to get 2 shots in each leg though. That made her cry a little :(
But, the good news is that she slept for a good portion of the rest of the day, so daddy could get some stuff done!

Friends...

Aubree got to spend the day yesterday (and half of today) with her friend Catrece. You can check out some pics from Catrece's blog!

Like doggie like daughter

Back when Misha was a puppy, she'd sleep in some unique positions (as seen below).



This morning when I went to get Aubree up, she was on her side with her feet up against the edge of the bed. Wonder who she gets that from? :)

Smile!

Aubree was taking the advice of her t-shirt this morning. Smile!

She chatters and squeals all the time now. Here are some pictures of her giving me some big grins

and sharing her toy with Misha-doodle.

So big!

Here we are, trying to get all ready to see Miss Dana this morning. Aubree is still asleep as daddy is getting ready to put her in her car seat! She's getting so big, isn't she!

I like feet!

Ok, I know that kids like to play with their feet when they are little, and Aubree is certainly no exception. The thing is, she takes it a bit further than most!

Here, she is, stalking the wild foot! And crikey, she caught one!


Now, she's reeling it in!



Some kids suck their thumbs, and some suck their big toes! Guess which one we've got? :)



Oh, and not just one toe, let's try multiple toes!

Getting so strong! [UPDATED]

Ok, enough about Dan...let's get back to the reason you are at this blog...to look at pictures of Aubree. Just to warn you, the second picture here is not for those who may be faint of heart or weak of stomach!

"I can sit up all by myself!"




UPDATE - Ok, I got some hassles about the next picture, so I'm just making it a link and you'll have to click it yourself if you want to see it...
"I can spit up all by myself!"

I'm sorry, I know that is gross, but it just worked out that way. I was taking a picture and just happened to capture her in-progress! By the way, it looks way cooler if you look at the picture full size! :)

Skydving, continued

This shot is great! I'm going to insert my own caption because, well, you just have to with this picture!


"I think I soiled myself!"


Here's Dan and Julia and the guy Dan was strapped to!
Ok, notice his "helmet". Do you think a leather helmet is really going to help if you're falling from the sky? Maybe from the bugs you may encounter on the way down, but not much else!

Dan - Living Dangerously!

Ok, I know this doesn't have anything to do with Aubree, but I thought it'd still be fun to post this. My brother-in-law went sky diving that same weekend while we were in Ohio. So, here are some action shots!


Double -O Dan, waiting to jump (did I mention they were behind about 3 hours that day? Man, that was a long wait!)



Here's everyone looking up into the sky, waiting for Dan to jump (fall, get pushed, whatever) out of the plane.



Landing gear is down (er, up)



Yay, on the ground again!

See my pretty dress!

Here's the dress Aubree wore when we went to church with Grandma Maurer...how pretty!



Just because I'm wearing shoes doesn't mean I can't try to eat my feet!

Fun times in Ohio

A couple weeks ago (sorry it's taken so long to post) we were in Ohio for Aubree's cousin's 2nd birthday party. Here are a few pics from that event...




Aubree is in the swing and there's 2 year-old Julia.
Below are all 3 girls, Aubree, Julia, and Vivian - aren't they cute?
