8 Months Old

On October 4, Aubrey turned 8 months! While Daddy was watching Priesthood session of General Conference, Aubrey and I went to her room to do a little photo shoot! 

trying to crawl... but can't figure out how to use her arms. 

she started playing with her sticker and so I took it off and this is what she thought about it!

And then the real crying began

Is it bad that I took a few more pictures before picking her up to comfort her?

We then put this super cute pink DKNY jacket from my friends Laura and Heather, and decided to take a few more pics!

Needless to say she was happy again! 

Oh how I love her!

Aubrey's 8th month was busy! She got her two bottom teeth! And on October 31st she actually crawled using both of arms and legs! 

This is proof of her two teeth! She sometimes thinks my arm is a chew toy! 

Aubrey loves to go on walks, roll and crawl all over, loves phone chords until Mom takes them away, she loves eating apple baby food, swinging in the park, and loves giving her Mommy and Daddy kisses! We love this little girl so much! Time needs to slow down! 

A Day in the Life of Aubrey

I need to update my blog and thought it might be best to start with some random but super cute pictures of Aubrey!! This might be a picture overload... because I literally just snap pictures all day! Most of these were taken in September.... at 7 months old.

Our morning starts out to me waking up to the sound of Aubrey playing in her crib! So I go into her room and hand her some toys! Aubrey loves this Bear! I was given this bear on the day I was born. After doctors told my parents that I was going to be a boy for 9 months, I received this PINK bear from my 3 brothers! Now Aubrey gets to enjoy it too! 

After we play, we do some chores... Folding laundry! I usually put her in the basket so she doesn't unfold the clothes I already folded! 

We then read books and play with toys!! 

Then we take a nap! On weekends she gets to take naps with Daddy so it is extra special! 

and Daddy takes a nap too!

Then we roll and crawl (yes she can finally crawl now) around the house! She goes until she finds the blinds and then she tries to eat them before Mom pulls her away! 

Then she takes another nap and somehow gets flipped around in her crib! When I lay her down her head is on the other end! Since we have stopped swaddling her she is a crazy sleeper like her Momma!

Somewhere throughout the day, Aubrey gets dressed in super cute clothes that more than likely Mimi sent, and we do a little photo shoot!

just because she is super cute!

Those shoes!!

So Aubrey is a super busy girl and now you kind of have a taste of what we do every day! 

Hope everything is well in your lives! I am just trying to keep up with this growing girl who is now 9 months old! More to come on the Blog! Stay tuned!! 

Kern County Fair

On September 19th, We went to the Kern County Fair!
Right when we got there Aubrey fell asleep for about the first hour! We felt like we couldn't do anything exciting without her! 

Soon she was awake and we were off to see the animals! 

Aubrey watches the Farm themed Baby Einstein quite often and I think she recognized some of the animal noises! It was so fun to watch her reactions!  

I love this face!! 

And this one too! 

Aubrey thought this turkey was pretty cool! 

Aubrey and Brad with the cows! 

I think Aubrey's favorite animals were the bunnies! 

Especially after she got to hold this one by it's ears! 

After the animal barns, we were off to the butterfly house! It was so fun! Thousands of monarch butterflies were in there! We fed them nectar and had fun with them landing on us! 

They were  so beautiful! 

Aubrey wasn't sure of what to think of this butterfly on her headband! 

Haha this FACE! 

"No big deal guys, I just have a butterfly on my head!"

Next it was Dinner Time! 

Brad had a turkey leg....

He looked like a barbarian eating it!

And I had this giant pulled pork sandwich! 

Then one of the Greatest things happened! For a long time one of my bucket list items has been to ride an elephant! They have been my favorite animal since elementary school! When we saw they were doing Elephant Rides, Brad was first to hand me over some cash to ride it! It was totally worth the full $8.00!

Meet Kitty!! She is 47 years old and was so friendly! I had a BLAST!! 

We had such a fun time at the fair and probably spent a little too much money, but hey it was worth it! I can't wait to go year after year and see Aubrey enjoy it a little bit more each time! I love that we can do all of these fun "kid" things and make memories like our parents did with us when we were young! Life is good! See ya next year Fair!
