Eight Months Old!


I just can’t believe I am writing this post.  This first year is going so fast, and we are really enjoying every minute of it.  Aubrey continues to amaze us every day and we have been so blessed to have such a great kid.  Here are a few snapshots from Aubrey's first Christmas.





Aubrey got some wonderful gifts, including a rocking horse that was handcrafted by her Papaw. 


It is a beautiful family heirloom, and we look forward to being able to enjoy it for years to come.  It was great to see all of the family together including all of the new additions that we have gotten this year.  Next year should be really fun when they are all mobile!


Speaking of mobility, she is still army crawling, but getting on her knees more and more.  She is big on exploring, and we often have to move her back to her play mat when she gets out of sight and into things.  

Another big change this month is sitting on from crawling and pulling up on anything and everything, the dog food was her first temptation, now she just does it to do it.  We have since lowered the crib mattress to avoid that temptation for now.



Our eight month pictures went a little bit better than last month, although she is definitely harder to keep in one place these days!  She loves her new boots that were made by my friend Amanda!
