Aubrey, Maggie and More

Where to begin? Auberey turned 11 months! I can't believe she is only one month away from turning 1. She has now outgrown her exersaucer and jumper, which is a reminder she is getting older. I think putting up the jumper was the hardest, because she loved that thing! It's a bittersweet feeling for me. It's exciting, but I'm also sad that she's getting older. I love the stage she is at right now. One of Rod and I's favorite things to do with her is to chase her around and say, "I'm going to get you!" She will crawl away from us as fast as possible, and then when we get right next to her, she will lay flat on the floor as if surrendering. She giggles the whole time we are doing it. It's so adorable!
She also is really into books, which I love. She will turn the pages, and pretend she is reading. It makes me smile. I also love the fact that she is a great eater. The only thing I have found that she doesn't like is peas. Who could blame her?

We are still not to the walking point, but we are getting closer. She will stand on her own on occassion now. She is very cautious about things, but I like that. Anytime we get in a new situation, she typically has to watch for awhile before she will start to play. She really loves the playground at the Shops at Willow Bend. It's perfect for a child her age!

Aubrey had her first experience in the pool, and loved it. I can't wait to spend lots of time at the pool this summer.

In other news, Aubrey and Maggie are still buddies! Maggie has learned that Aubrey will share her food, which is creating bad habits! Maggie will lay by her high chair until she is done eating, and then lick everything off it when I get her up. She also will clean the floor, which I have to admit is a little nice.

Her front two teeth are about to pop through. I can't wait to see how her smile changes!

Aubrey's cousin Kate turned 1! You will have to see pictures on Tami's blog. Kate eating the cake was simply priceless!

This is one of my favorites!

I love that Aubrey's hair is getting long enough now to stick up in the mornings.

Bath time and eating are Aubrey's two favorite things!
