I have been on a blogging hiatus...sorry! Aubrey is no 9 1/2 mos and learning new tricks every day. She crawls all over the place, pulls herself up to stand, and walks behind her pink baby doll stroller. Her favorite thing these days is trying to catch Henry to see if he will let her pet him or pull his tail. Thankfully he is very tolerant of her! Poor Lucy got shipped out to Green Bay to live with grandma & grandpa Mac in July b/c she wasn't so fond of Aubrey's affection! We had a pretty busy summer, and now fall seems to be almost over as well. I am working 4 days a week with Fridays off. Friday is our girl's day to hang out, but sometimes we let daddy join us if he takes an office day :)

Aubrey's Baptism - June 7th, 2009

I am so behind on blogging! It has been a very busy month. We went on a road trip mid May and with working, time has gotten away from me! We had Aubrey's baptism last weekend, and were so lucky to have all of our family in town. Her godparents are Anne Hansen and Andy Hotchkiss. We feel like she couldn't have two better people for the job! She was a perfect angel during church, and even seemed to like all of the attention when Fr. Joel paraded her around the church after she was baptized. It was a really neat ceremony. I almost felt like it was a wedding...especially when I looked down to the pews and saw my dad and mother in law in tears! It was a pretty special day for our little Aubrey :)

Aubrey - 3 1/2 months

Smiles for Daddy

St Patrick's Day

We were so lucky to be able to spend St. Patty's Day with one of our favorite people, Mary Marks. Aubrey loved hanging out with her!

2 months!

Aubrey had her 2 month appointment on Thursday. Everything went great with the vaccinations. She was 10.13 pounds (50th percentile for weight) and 21 1/2 inches, which is only the 10th percentile for length. I came home and measured her myself and she was almost 22 1/2 inches...I am pretty sure the nurse didn't stretch her out fully when she was measuring her. Either that, or we have a very petite little peanut! Aubrey was a little fussy during the day, and she & I got busted taking a nap together as you can see from the picture! Things have been great until this morning. She ate at about 6:00 AM, and then went back down for a nap. At about 9:00 AM she projectile vomited and got pale and clammy. I completely freaked out & called the pediatrician, who calmed me down & thinks she might have one of these viruses going around. You would not know I was in medicine by the way I am with her...what a nervous nelly!!! Anyway, we are keeping the feedings going to keep her hydrated and she seems to be doing a little better now. Just a little fussy and tired. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is just a little bug & it will run its course sooner than later!

Yikes! Aubrey is going to look at this picture some day and think her dad is nuts! I think Ryan was trying to do a little bonding with his little girl :)
