Hanging Out with Ole St. Nick

Aubree got to sit on Santa's lap this weekend. She didn't cry... much. Actually, she wasn't particularly frightened of Santa, but she really was having a better time with Mommy. So, she got a little grumpy. What can I say? I'm just more fun than Santa.

(Sorry about the picture quality-- it's a picture of a picture.)

Thanksgiving- Caleb & Shay

We spent Thanksgiving at Great-grandma's house. We had a great time, and it's such a blessing to have a family like mine. Aubree got to hang out with her cousins, Caleb and Shaylen, my brother's kids. Aubree is all smiles when it comes to her cousins. Shaylen can really get her into giggles. It's nice that she has big cousins to look out for her, and they were all looking pretty sharp on Thanksgiving! Being an aunt is the next best thing to being a mommy, and I hope that Aubree means as much to them as they do to me.

Snuggle Bug

Aubree doesn't sleep on her back anymore. I went to check on her during a nap one day, and this is how I found her with her cute little bottom in the air. It just makes you wanna snuggle up with her, doesn't it?

6 Month Pictures

Here's just a handful of the awesome pics Joel did for us! Thanks buddy! We love the pictures, and we love you!!!

"Mommy, What's with the camara? I thought we were playing."

"Gimme, gimme, gimme!"

"Okay, I guess I have a couple more juicy smiles for you!"

"Here's a sweet one!"

"... and this one is a little rambunctious."

*************************

Hey! Mommy finally found some time to return to the blog. We had some pretty good times with Aubree this weekend. She got a visit from her Grandma Cain and her big cousins, Caleb and Shay. She also got some quality time with her Daddy while I went to the Colts game on Sunday. Woohoo!! (Thanks, Jenn!) Her biggest changes lately are mostly in the way she chats. Today on the way home from Dana's, she sounded like she was singing a little song to herself. The only lyric was "Ahhh," but it was really adorable. She went on for quite awhile. It made me chuckle. So did this...

This is what happens when we let Aubree do her own hair. :-)

Okay we may have helped her a little.

Hopefully, we'll be seeing a lot of you in person over the next few weeks! I'm ready for some Thanksgiving! We have a lot for which to be thankful!

More giggles

This video will probably be better to listen to than watch since the camera is bouncing and daddy is bouncing while holding Aubree. So, if you are prone to motion sickness...be warned! All that said, Aubree is going on a giggle fest again! Good stuff!

Good Eats!

Aubree gets really excited and flaps her arms like a bird! It's pretty funny! Though does make it difficult to get the spoon in her mouth!
