aubrey girl

you think that we would get tired of whipping out the ole' camera and sticking it in the face of our precious baby girl. nah! besides...isn't it the first child who has the plethora of photos, the finished baby album, etc. i am just sitting here remembering that my baby book was quite full, my sister ashley's was partially done and poor lauren had a couple of photos stuck into the back of ashley's baby book. i know it is not a reflection on our parent's love for us... but rather the evidence of how much time they had on their hands after having three children. i am sure that our last child will also suffer the same injustice. well, at least they will have aunt lauren to vent their frustrations to.
in any event... just wanted everyone to see how our little aubrey was doing. you have already been informed of her first smile... her personality is really starting to come out. she talks to everything. the lamp, pappy's deer, the rubber ducky (see photo). she recognized mommy and daddy and will kick wildly when you talk to her. she is sleeping well in her crib and only wakes up once during most nights (a blessing for mom and dad). she has started taking a bottle on occasion, making it possible for us to go on a "real" date (lasting more then 2 hours) to a movie.
grammy and pappy got to be the first official babysitters. they listened to us patiently as we gave them too much information about what to do with her.

as you can tell, she is growing like crazy. she was 8 lbs 7 oz at her last doctor's appointment.
speaking of which, mommy didn't do to well when aubrey got her first shot. daddy had to hold aubrey and mommy tried not to faint. this is very bad news seeing as at her next appointment she is getting 4 (yes, four!) shots. i don't think i will be able to handle it. pray for us.
