The Little Gym
For the past month or so, we've been going to The Little Gym every Saturday. We go the parent-child class for 19 mo. - 3 years old. There's lots of musics, balls, bubbles, and running and climbing, and they get to practice skills such as forward rolls, hanging from the bar, and the balance beam. Aubrey has a great time. As soon as we pull in the parking lot she starts clapping and saying Gym! Here are a few pictures of our fun today...

My Big Girl
Matt called me this morning after dropping Aubrey off at school to tell me today was her first day in her new class. Basically anytime between 18 months and 2 years the children can move to the Toddler 2 class, once they are ready and when there is space available. Her teacher had mentioned at the beginning of the summer that they were going to start transitioning Aubrey and a few of her classmates to the Toddler 2 class and she would probably be there full time by July. She had only been to the other class a few times over the past month and just last week we were told it probably wouldn't be until August when they moved her to the next class full time. So we were a little surprised to hear she would be moved so suddenly.
She had a great day. As soon as I got home, I asked her how her day was and if she had gone to her new class. She responded with "Dixie". Her new teacher is Ms. Dixie. Also, her friends from her Toddler 1 class (Kate, Alex, and Olivia) have also moved to the next class, so she's not alone.
Everyday we get a report from school that tells us what Aubrey did, when and what she ate, what time and how long she slept, and how many diapers she had. Today her report had a little extra written on it from Ms. Dixie telling us about her first day. It said, "Aubrey did great in Toddler 2 this morning. She was even correcting Alex when he was trying to do insert work. She has a great memory and remembered how to do the work that I had shown her last month! I really enjoy working with her. She responds so well. She is going to be a lot of fun!"
We are looking forward to meeting with Ms. Dixie soon to find out what's in store for Aubrey in this class.

Happy 4th of July
We had a fun but very hot long holiday weekend.
Friday morning we kicked the weekend off with a visit to Aubrey's class at the Little Gym, then she took pictures (see post below) in the afternoon, and then we had some friends over for dinner. Our good friends, Mike and Christie, had a beautiful baby boy, Ryan, a little over 2 weeks ago. Aubrey was very excited to meet Baby Ryan. I don't think she ate any of her dinner because she was watching him sleep, and then when he started to cry, she didn't know what to do. She held his hand and touched his hair and was very gentle. Here's a picture of them:
On Saturday morning we went to our neighborhood 4th of July parade and celebration. Aubrey had fun catching candy and beads. We only stayed at the celebration for a little bit because it was so hot, but it was long enough for Aubrey to play on the playground and go down the slide a few times. Then we headed home and ate lunch and went for a swim. We were trying to stretch her nap time because we knew it was going to be a late night.
After her nap, we went up to the Woodlands for dinner, a festival, and fireworks. It was too hot to enjoy the festival, but we walked around a bit and headed back to our spot to wait for the fireworks. Aubrey seemed fascinated with them. She sat back and watched.

18-Month Update
It's been awhile since I posted, so here's an update of what Aubrey's been up to. She had her 18-month check-up a few weeks ago and was 24 and 1/2 lbs and almost 32 inches long, so she's in the 50th % for weight and 75th % for height. The Dr. said she's what everyone wants to be - tall and skinny! She only had to get 1 shot and won't have to get another shot until she's 4. The Dr. warned us that she will start getting picker about food and will probably have 1 large meal a day and pick at her food the rest of the day. Right now, she seems to have a good appetite, so we'll see if that changes.
Aubrey has had a busy summer so far. Matt and I went to Las Vegas for a few days in June and she spent the time with Nana and Pops. She had a great time helping to take care of my parent's cats, playing in the water, and even took a trip to the Children's Museum and Aquarium.
Then last week, we made another trip to Louisiana to visit the newest addition to our family. My niece, Grace Elizabeth, was born Friday, June 26th. Momma, baby, and daddy are all doing great. Aubrey was very excited to meet her new cousin and on the way to the hospital, she kept saying "Baby Grace".
Aubrey is at a fun stage right now. (I think I say this at every stage, but it just keeps getting better and better.) She's talking up a storm, loves to sing (even if we can't always figure out what she's singing), knows her numbers 1-10, loves to be read to, loves puzzles.

She is taking classes on Saturday mornings at the Little Gym for the summer and will start swimming lessons next week. The Little Gym is a fun place with mats, songs, bubbles, and balls. It gives Aubrey a chance to interact with kids her own age and run around and play inside, since it is SO HOT outside.

We are looking forward to the long 4th of July weekend at home, and I hope we will be able to have some fun and watch some fireworks. I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!

Summer is Here!
We took our first dip in the pool this weekend. Aubrey was a little scared at first, she definitely didn't remember the pool from last year. She had lots of fun sitting on the step and kicking the water. I hope to get her in swim lessons this summer, but it might not be until July. Also, we are getting a pool fence put up this week, for every one's piece of mind.
This evening the weather was so nice, we headed outside after dinner. Aubrey watered the flowers and helped Daddy wash the car. I finally found a hat she likes-she asked to wear it tonight!
