Gadsden, Alabama

I was so excited to send you pics of Aubrey with Aunt Renee' & Uncle Casey at their wedding but with all of the excitement, I failed to pull out our camera. I did get come pics of the trip however. Here ya go:

Aubrey Update

Aubrey just had her 4 month check-up this week with her pediatrician. (she actually will be 5 months on the 19th)
I thought I would show her growth rate from birth:

BIRTH
Weight: 7 lbs. 10 oz.
Height: 19-3/4"


TWO MONTHS
Weight: 12lbs. 12 oz.
Height: 23"


FOUR MONTHS
Weight: 14 lbs. 12 oz.
Height: 25-1/2"

From the mountains to the prairies

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Pitkin, CO.
Aubrey loved being carried around in her baby bjorn. Also, we read up on baby sickness at high altitudes and I got kind of concerned but Aubrey seemed to adjust nicely. She really loves being in the great outdoors. This past week in Pitkin also marked a special time because it was Aubrey's first time to roll from her stomach to her back.





Jeremy, Amy and little Jack got to visit too.






Here are Grandad and Nana with sleepy Aubrey!






























We can't forget Buck! He loved the hikes and the cool weather. Beautiful dog hah?

First Sunglasses

Aubrey loves her first summer outside of the womb!

One Fine Day

Here are some pics from this weekend. Actually just Saturday. We had a busy day. We went to a little swim party with Aubrey,


then to the Allen's to visit with them and the Gunters and eat some delicious BBQ.
After that, we went to a wedding. (one of Bryan's friends got married in Kilgore) Aubrey was pretty worn out by the end of the day but she seemed to have fun. I think she will be a social buterfly.

Our Happy Family

Our friend, Melissa, took this picture of our family at Mcalister's and I thought it looked staged for some kind of advertisement. "McALISTER’s DELI, the family restaurant."

To bighten your day

Aubrey at 4 months

Our little girl is growing up. Yesterday marked a special day. It was exactly 4 months since she had graced us with her presence outside of the womb. She was suppose to have a 4 month appointment but it is not for another 3 weeks because her pediatrician has been so booked. I weighed her though on our scales here at home and she weighed 14 lbs.
She has been talking a lot and here lately she has found that she can make more than just one pitch with her voice. This is pretty cute to witness so here you go.

A tribute to DAD

Aubrey Coos

I was making dinner the other night and I had turned my monitor on to listen for Aubrey. She was making coos and sucking her thumb so I thought I would make my first video clip of the sweetest sound.

Red white and blue from my head to my toes...

Here are the pictures of Aubrey in her first swimsuit as promised. We decided to go with the American flag theme this year because the disney princesses, dora and the bratz swimsuits are overrated. I think the American flag is a nice touch don't you think?



The family went for a swim at my friend, Vanessa's birthday party on June the 3rd. Aubrey seemed to be indifferent to the water. It was cold but she didn't seem to mind. I predict that she will be a little water bug next summer. You'll see! Bryan showed Aubrey how to kick in the water.

I love my feet!

Aubrey has recently found her feet and she can't get enough of them. She loves just playing with them all day. She hasn't started to put them in her mouth yet but I am sure that when she figures out she can, she will do it all the time.






We have been putting Aubs in the Bumbo more, especially now that she can hold her head up better; also, we can't fail to mention her new four legged friend (sorry Buck) She loves to hold and drool on this weird looking "spider-cat" as Bryan calls it.

This one's for the girls...

Alyse & Aubrey


It is so neat to see the girls together! Alyse and Aubrey are about the same size now and are extra cute. It will be sweet to see the progression of pictures of these two together.

I like this picture of the girls with their grammy...

Happy Cousins

Aubrey and I get to visit the Butlers this week. She and Jack are hitting it off great! Can't wait to get cousin Alyse in the mix soon.

Buckner & Baby

Buck has been so good with Aubrey. For the most part, he will not even bother her when she is playing on the floor. Here, he just layed right next to her and watched her. I know when she gets older she will love this picture of her and our handsome watchdog.

Let the Sunshine in!

Baby Bumbo

I nominate Aubrey as the newest Baby Bumbo poster child. We recently received one and highly recommend it! It helps her to sit up without our support. Alyse seems to like it as well. Aubrey will probably use it more when she can hold her head up a little better. I am sure we will have many party's to come with this amazing wonder bumbo.


The baby bumbo can be used for any occasion as you can see in this picture of the two babys being exposed to some ultraviolet rays. Let's just hope this photo shoot wasn't very long.

Nose Passy

Don't worry guys; my nose was free from all boogers! I was holding Aubrey up the other day and giving her kisses and then I kept her close to my face and the next think I knew, she had latched onto my nose. Cute and kind of gross all at the same time!

Happy Belated Easter

This was Aubrey on Easter morning. She was ready to get dressed up for church and enjoy her first Easter. Next year she will be able to walk around and gather eggs but for now she can just be cute. Great job Aubs!

Aubrey Smiles

We are enjoying the newest member of our family! Aubrey is now 8 weeks. She can recognize when people are smiling at her and usually smiles back. We will sometimes catch her smiling at the ceiling fan or after she does her business.
