Aubrie's first food and 4 months old

Rice cereal and Squash messes!

 Where has the time gone and where is my little newborn??? Aubrie is growing up so quickly and developing a cute personality. She is still such a happy baby and loves her mommy and daddy and always gives us a huge smile when we pick her up from daycare or come home from work. She has finally got over all her illnesses and is back to our happy girl.

The week after Christmas, I took her to the pediatrition because I wasn’t producing enough milk anymore to satisfy her and found out she wasn’t gaining enough weight. We started supplementing with formula and she was given the ok to start eating rice cereal and baby foods. So far she likes her rice cereal mixed with apple juice or bananas and she loves squash. It is so cute to see her sitting in her high chair like a big girl and eating.

-          Loves to coo and talk and will also blow bubbles only around mom and dad

-          She is almost able to roll all the way over onto her right side

-          She loves to try and stand up while we hold her and look around at the world

-          Is still not quite sleeping through the night and still wakes up 1-2 times a night (on good days).

-          Reaches for her toys now and everything she touches goes straight to her mouth

-          She loves her rattles and sitting in her bouncer chair

-          Is able to sit up in her high chair to eat squash, bananas and rice cereal.

 She is passed out...probably from her food coma...this girl loves food.

Christmas Day 2012

Christmas morning opening her stocking with Mommy....look at that crazy hair! (aka little devil horns)

 Christmas morning we went to the Evans to celebrate with all the family and enjoy the yummy food. Aubrie definitely got spoiled this year by everyone and got lots of toys including: rocking horse, dolls, rattles, bumbo chair, books and lots of other fun things. Then we went to Grandma Evans for dinner with the cousins.

Tis the Season

 To start off the Holiday season, we  visited Santa at the mall in order to get my Mom’s favorite picture of the kids with Santa. Luckily Aubrie stayed awake to sit on his lap and didn’t cry this year….probably the last time for a while.

  

Christmas Eve was spent at the Baths for dinner and our annual reading of the new Christmas book for the year. She was loved by everyone there.

 The next weekend, the Bath’s had their family party at their wardhouse with a special visit from Santa. Aubrie got to be the star of the Nativity play as her role of Baby Jesus.

 Our first annual Gingerbread house building night (ours is the lovely one with orange frosting since it was a "home depot" house.

 One of the 3 trees we put up at Aubrie's first Christmas

 Aubrie's first christmas tree in her room was filled with little glass mice eating cookies which was on my tree growing up. These were special to me because each year I got one new piece.

 Aubrie’s first Christmas was a busy one filled with family, fun, and of course lots of presents for this little girl! We started off the Christmas season by going downtown to Temple Square to see the lights and the candy windows that were brought back this year. As a little girl, I always remember how cool the candy windows at ZCMI were and although this years were still neat, I think they used to be better. 

 Aubrie is finally able to stand and play in her new toy...she is still trying to figure it out...but it worked as a great babysitter while I wrapped presents.

 This was the last week she was able to sleep in our room in her bassinet since she was getting too big.
