11 Month Old Update










It has been busy (as always) around here and I just never seem to have time to blog, so here is the update from the past few months. Aubrey is coming up on her first birthday and I just can't believe how much she is changing all the time! She is becoming such a big girl and can do lots of fun things now. She is a crawling machine but in the last few weeks she hasn't been crawling as much as she has been cruising and walking around the house with her walkers! She picks herself up off of the floor and walks around the table and couch, the perimeter of her crib, and even pushes her walkers up and down the halls! It is so fun to watch her learn so many new things. This past week she has learned how to pick herself up without even using any props to help her and then stand alone for up to 10 seconds or so. Sometimes I look over at her playpen and she is just standing on her own clapping at her accomplishment! So fun! She is also learning a lot of new words these past few weeks. She has mastered "hi," "bye-bye," "mama," "dada," and now this week she can say "uh-oh," and even "baby" when she sees dolls or other babies! I didn't realize how fast she would learn language and I am really encouraged to see what else will happen in the weeks and months to come! It is sad to know that she is getting bigger and see how fast she grows out of clothes and toys but at the same time it is so awesome to see her really becoming a little person and maturing and learning all the time. I don't have many pictures uploaded right now but I will get some more and put them up here soon I promise! I will also really try to be more consistent with getting stuff up here. Sorry it took so long but thanks for looking back here!

Happy New Year!










I hope you all had a great 2008 and and will have an even better 2009! We had a fun Christmas and a great New Years Eve hanging out with family and friends. Aubrey even managed to squeeze her first crawls and the subtle sprouting of her first tooth on New Year's Eve! :) She is getting better every day and last night she really started to get around on her hands and knees. I can't even think of how big she will be next year!
