Chunky Monkey!

So we had a doctor's visit Thursday and I knew that she had grown but I about craped my pants when I saw the scale. 11 pounds 6 ounces, HOLY COW!!! what a piggy, she also has grown almost 2 inches in length. She also got her first round of shots which just broke my heart because it is the first time she has been hurt. She looked at me with those eyes, asking me what the heck was that. Then the tears started oooohhhhh my little baby. She was a little crabby for the rest of the day and the next but she made it through without any other problems. The doctor said the rash on her face was from drooling and other mositure so now instead of a read face she has a shiny face from the vaseline.
Friday Grandma came for a visit so we decided to take Molly and Aubrey to the pool for a bit. Molly was thrilled but Aubrey not so much, the water was a little colder than she is used to. She managed to stay in with daddy for about 10 minutes and then pooped out for a nap. She is doing much better with her sleeping issues. Still not sleeping through the night but is managing to put herself to sleep around 9:00 or 10:00 and is up around 8:00. It is so nice to have her on a schedule now it will really help once school starts. Gabe and I go back on the 25th, and I super nervous because it is my last semester before my student teaching so it will be a busy one I'm sure. Let's see other updates, she will mimic facial expressions now. You smile at her and she smile's back, or you stick out you tounge and she does the same. It is a real fun game that we play all day long. She also loves to stand now, if you try to put her on her behind she will stiff leg until you stand her up. I love watching her grow and I get a little sad because I just know that she is getting so big so fast and that it was just yesterday that she was so little and loved to be cuddled.
I hope everyone is still reading the blog and enjoying it, because I love talking about her new discoveries. Everyone needs to leave me some comments so that I know you are reading and enjoying the growth of our little Aubrey Jo.... LOVE YOU ALL

I always enjoy reading about Aubrey! I'm Gabe's cousin Eric's wife, Sara. If you followed all that you're doing very well! We had a baby June 19th so it's fun to read everything Aubrey is doing and compare it to our baby Gage! She's beautiful, congrats!

Ally,

As I said in my previous e-mail to you is that I really appreciate the blog. It helps seeing new pictures of Aubrey because I can't see her as often as I would like to, like daily. Keep the blog going. With these "big" events going on with Aubrey, and Melissa's wedding plans on a blog it keeps me informed. I love you all dearly, Dad
