Love a good ultrasound!

I think everyone knows that Aubree is going to be a big sister in April. Here are some pictures from our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looks perfect!

Here's a nice little profile shot of baby... mommy's pointy chin and chubby cheeks.

Here's a little profile shot with what I think is a waving hand.

Baby's legs were crossed, so here's a foot with the other tucked behind it.


Here's baby (head at the bottom, spine to the left, black spot is the stomach.)

A cute little leg picture.

Aubree's Posse

This is the gang!

Don't even think about messing with these little buds!

(L-R: Catrece, Aliza, Zoe-Grace, Aubree)
Christy, thanks for the picture.

I'm super-impressed that you got them all to sit still and look at you

(even though ours do not look too thrilled!)

Santa

Merry Christmas?

That's not a smile on my face-- It's GUILT! My poor baby!

She did like the duckies and snowmen on the way to see Santa! Little cutie!

Hmm.. I'm not so sure Pa-paw. You're wearing a hat like that other scary guy!

Okay! You're nice! We can be pals!

Attempting to get a "Christmas card" picture...

Group hug!

I'm smiling, but only because I'm in love with Diego and Dora!

Aubree's getting into playing catch lately. She looks sweet and innocent, but

about 30 seconds after this, she whacked Misha in the face with the ball as hard as possible!

Mesmerized.

I know she's cute, and I'm being picky, but it' SO frustrating when you're trying to catch the perfect shot, and all she wants to do is watch Dora. She burst into tears everytime we turned the TV off during this photo shoot... I wasn't thrilled with any of these, so don't take it personally, folks, but I think we might just skip the cards this year! I'm sure it will be easier next year when her little brother or sister is here to help!

(By the way, this is the new little rocker that we bought for her "big girl" room. We're loving it!)

Hanging at the mall!

Here are some cute little shots of Aubree playing on the slide in the Castelton mall! Too bad I didn't have the camera out when she went down head first. That one really cracked her up! Even when she's all dressed up, she's still a wild child!

Loving Fall!

"Hey, I found his nose."

Happy Halloween!

Working some magic!

(The real reason Chris shaves his head!)

Fall "Break"

We took a little vacation this fall to Myrtle Beach with some of our best buds this October.

Here are a few pictures of our girls!

Here's our little beach babe, running full speed ahead

(and not watching where she is going at all!)

Big smiles from Aliza!

These two know how to take a vacation!

(Rough morning at the aquarium!)

You try smiling with sand in your Lil' Swimmer (and everywhere else!)

Little Surfer Girl! (Zoe-Grace)

Getting good & messy on the deck!

Our awesome view!

My favorite view!

Calling this Fall Break a break is a little misleading. Being near a big ocean with a little toddler can be a little stressful, but overall, we had a good time. Aubree loved the sand. She wasn't a huge fan of waves coming in towards her. That was fine by me! She did enjoy playing in the pool, and she loved her time with Zoe-Grace.

News Flash: Aubree to be a Big Sister!

This may be old news to some or a surprise to others, but next Spring, Aubree will be a big sister! Due date is round about April 30. Here are a few shots from mommy's 13.5 week ultrasound! If I remember correctly, the first one is a shot from the front. You can see the the skull, eyes, etc. The second one is from behind...more skull, shoulder chest. And the third is a hand.
Wave to everyone little baby!

Brown County

We took a little trip down to Brown County today. The weather started out nice and sunny, but it got cloudy and chilly as the day progressed. As you can imagine, Aubree was as cute as can be! Here she is with some pumpkins...she especially liked the little one and threw it around like a ball!

Helping mommy cook

Well, notsomuch cooking, more like cleaning up.

And needing some cleanup!

Hey, daddy wants to help too!

"Weeee" with Catrece

We recently got a second swing for our swingset so Catrece could come over and play! Here are the girls having a grand time together.

We're going streaking!

Here's Aubree after her bath the other night. She's pretty happy when she's naked!

Bed Time

This is the first time she has actually said "cheese."

It kind of made for a quirky little smile.

She insists on brushing her own teeth.

So has anyone noticed that Aubree could use a haircut?
The girl has some seriously long bangs.

Oops, I missed... She was on the move.

Peekaboo!
