Aubree's 1st Birthday Party

Aubree is ONE! She is the happiest kid you'll ever meet and is full of personality! Happy Birthday ReeRee, we love you!

We had to move the festivity to the church because Hurricane Debbie rained out our BBQ spot at the beach, but it all worked out and was way fun!

Aubree had a blast with all her closest friends. She enjoyed every second of it!
 Delilah and Chloë Miller
 Reese Batchelder and Lexie Driscoll (Ree's favorite "babysitters")












 This was the funniest moment of the night. All the little girls surrounded Aubree and were chanting. Hilarious!





 Thanks to all our friends who made it! We love you guys.

11 Months

Our little ReeRee is 11 months old!


She walks and still likes to crawl, but on her hands and feet, not knees.
She talks so much and it comes out sounding like German.
She literally is into everything.
Loves to jiggle to toilet handle, tear and eat the toilet paper, get into the trash - I have had to put hair ties around all the cubbards.
She is climbing on and into things like the couch, inside the ottoman, and laundry basket.
She really is the happiest little lady! She loves being with her friends, LOVES! She giggles and gets so excited.
She nurses 5 times a day still, but trying to ween her to 2-3 times a day. She'll drink formula and sometimes whole milk.
Still an amazing eater! She says "num nums" when she is hungry.
Sometime she'll even pull down my shirt to nurse...eek.
She can swim with arm floaties.
She is loving her binkie for more than just going to bed.
She puts her head on my shoulder when she is tired.
She can still wear some 6-9 month clothes.
She can blow kisses and makes a smack noise with her lips...so cute!
She is obsessed with falling face first onto pillows.

Orlando Trip

 We went on a quick weekend getaway to Orlando with some great friends, the Miller's and the Ward's. We had a lot of fun! We hope to make this a monthly tradition? haha maybe that's too much, but I wish. Our trip consisted of the temple, H&M, and Del Taco. All of which aren't in Naples, so we enjoyed every moment of the trip.

Aubree was in heaven being with her besties all weekend. They would have slept in the same pack 'n' play if we would've let them.

Swimming Lessons & 10 Months Old

 Aubree started swimming lessons. She is surprisingly catching on really fast! She kicks, floats, jumps to you from the ledge, and doesn't mind getting dunked. Fortunately, Daddy was able to come to this session :). Ree is obsessed with her Daddy and is his twin!
 Ree loves having swimming lessons with her buddy/boyfriend Holden.
 "Look Mom, bubbles!"
 
 Aubree turned 10 months on April 22, 2012. She seems like a big kid to me now. I've heard that is how you feel with your first...it hasn't hit me yet that she is almost ONE. I can't even believe it! Seriously, I think I'll cry when it hits me.

Grandpa & Nana J came to visit: Airboat Ride

We headed down to Everglade City for an airboat ride. We had never been on one before, so it was fun to go with my parents. Even Ree liked it!
