Up to something


Just a head's up-- if you hear a big, gooey, 3- syllabled, high-pitched "Hi," you' d better look fast because Aubree is probably doing something she thinks she shouldn't be-- climbing on the end table, rolling over the back of her little couch, scaling one of the kitchen chairs, riding on Misha, standing with both feet on her plastic horse's back, or in this case standing in a toy bucket... one of her least dangerous tricks.
She seems to think that the cute smiling and waving will distract us enough that we'll let her keep on doing whatever it is she's up to. Two seconds prior to this picture, she was sitting in the bucket with her feet hanging over the end repeating, "Hi. Hi, Daddy. Hi, Mommy. Hi." Too cute!

A Few Holiday Highlights


Gone fishing!

Mommy's... I mean, Aubree's new blocks.

Just what I wanted from Santa!


Fun with cousin, Shay!

Phew, this Christmas stuff really wears me out!


Mommy, HELP! Christmas wrap everywhere!!!!

Aubree's "big-girl" room







Over Christmas Break, with the help of my Mom and Dad, we transformed our guest room into Aubree's "big girl" room. since her little sister will be moving into the nursery this April. (Yep, you read that correctly, it's a girl!!)

She LOVES her new room, but now just think the whole upstairs is her own personal suite of rooms. She is occupying both rooms now, and we've yet to get her to sleep a wink in the new room! Any tips?? She does love doing her bedtime stories and prayers in her big bed. She goes in and counts her butterflies and flowers. It's cute. The bad news is, she also loves jumping all over the bed and sitting on the windowsill. **See picture below. Once it's time for her nap or bedtime, she still wants her crib. I guess we have about 4 months to help her figure it out.



We are loving the room and can't wait to get her all moved in! Thanks for all the help, Mom and Dad!

Long hair and soap makes for great fun!

Mommy thought it'd be fun to sculpt Aubree's hair during bath time! This is good stuff!
