I realized today that it's been a while since I wrote an update on us...we're still boring. :) 

My cute little Bulldog
But really, Aubrey is doing great.  She had to go to PT/OT for 4 weeks in a row; they wanted to see how much progress she made not skipping weeks.  She did really well and has improved her techniques somewhat--she now sits very well on her own and can catch herself pretty well if she starts to topple over.  We still have some bumps on the head, but we'll have those for a while to come.  She still likes to stand up as much as we'll let her, and she's pulling up on stuff in the house now.  Adam caught her pulling up on something in the living room and then she let go and stood for a second by herself. 

Such a smiley baby.
 She has a set of wooden boxes with wooden shapes and numbers that go with them--she likes to bang them on the floor and on each other, and occasionally (accidentally) on her head.  Loud noises don't seem to bother her--on the contrary, she tends to laugh.  She laughs when Adam shoots in the backyard; she laughs when I take her downstairs to see the noisy birds at work; she laughs when she pulls my hair and I tell her "no."  (I think we're going to have some trouble in the future if that last one's any indication.) 

Not sure that's proper bouncer usage, but it's cute.
One thing has improved--she now takes about a 2 hour nap every afternoon.  Much better than her little 30 minute cat naps that she was taking.  This also gives mama a chance to get things done and not spend half the day fighting with the baby to get her to sleep.

She loves her pacifier when she gets sleepy, and she makes weird little talking noises when she has it in.

She loves to gnaw on my apple cores and scrape little bits off with her two bottom barracuda-sharp teeth.
Nom, nom, nom.

She crawls really fast around the bottom floor of the house and laughs when you sneak up on her and scare her.

Always remember that when you're eating pureed carrots, if you laugh really hard carrots will come flying out of your mouth. :)
She belly laughs at the strangest things, and it's pretty much the best sound ever.

  1. Such a Happy Baby. She changes with every picture. So glad she is doing well. Thanks for sharing all her achievements. It will be no time before she will be walking and on the go. I hope you take advantage of her long naps and get you a little rest also. Have a good week, Pat
