Aubrey until now

Here is my attempt to capture the last 3 months in one blog:

Well, Aubrey was born May 16, 2011 at 12:47 a.m. Mom was in labor for 36 hours and there were some scares during the labor. Aubrey's heart rate kept slowing down and they prepared us for a C-Section. Luckily, we didn't have to do that and Aubrey entered the world screaming, which was music to our ears. She was 6lbs 15 oz (which is exactly how much mom weighed when she was born) and 19.5 in. We spent 2 nights in the hospital and learned a lot. It was so weird taking her home. I don't think we have ever driven so carefully.

Welcome home baby girl

This summer was full of lots of love from many visitors. Aubrey is a popular little lady.

We loved being at home with Aubrey. It's crazy what a sharp learning curve having a little one is. For awhile, it seemed like the outside world didn't exist; it felt like it was just us, our happy little fam. We were very fortunate to have people making us meals and helping us out... it made the transition so much easier.

Pretty little girl

The summer was full of fun times! We took Aubrey to the mountains many times. We went to Steamboat/Craig when she was just 2 weeks old. Wow, were we crazy to do that. We also made trips to Telluride, Montrose, Glenwood Springs and Winter Park. In addition to Colorado trips, we had an adventure out to Kansas. Aubrey is a pretty good little traveler.

Now we are back at school and Aubrey spends her days at Daycare with Cindy. Aubrey is a little flirt and smiles and coos at the little boys who are at daycare with her.

Aubrey is a happy, happy girl. She loves to smile and explore the world around her. She loves being around people and one of her favorite places to be in outside. She also loves to stand and be upright. Currently, she is mastering the art of sucking her thumb. She has also rolled over both ways, but one once or twice. She squeals delightfully at her toys. Oh, and we are now going on 3 nights of her sleeping from 8 pm-6 am... woo hoo. We are blessed with a wonderful little girl and are so excited to be with her every day.

Aubrey loves bath time, but hates getting out of the bath

Loving nature...it's her favorite

Well, there you go. 3 1/2 months wrapped up in one blog. It's impossible to capture everything that Aubrey is in words and pics, but that's my best effort.

Goodnight :)
