A Well-Loved Baby


We are starting to see our baby grow up already. She's learning so fast. She can:
  • pull herself to standing & stand leaning on something
  • say "hi," "Mama" and "Dada" indiscriminately
  • eat rice cereal, oatmeal, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, carrots, pears, peaches, apples, and bananas
  • wave by opening and closing her hand
  • grab things with both hands and grab things with a pincer grip
  • sit and play with her toys or a box independently for about 15 minutes (She's working on the Your Baby Can Read program. It's entertaining if nothing else.)


Our family is so thankful to have her. She brings us so much joy every day! We often sit around looking at her and laughing with her and telling her how cute and wonderful she is. I hope it doesn't go to her head!Unfortunately, Aubree had to have her first ER visit when she fell off the changing table on Sunday. Praise God for protecting her sweet little head from any serious injury.

We took a trip to Destin, FL and stopped in New Orleans for some fun on the way. My mom and both of my grandparents on my mom's side of the family grew up in New Orleans, so we felt like riding the St. Charles streetcar was a historical mode of transportation.

Aubree also enjoyed her first Astros game. She even stayed awake to watch the Friday Night Fireworks!The most exciting part of the summer was welcoming Aubree's new cousin to the world. His name is Nathan and he is precious. Aubree is going to have so much fun playing with him when he gets a little bigger!
