Trick or Treat

Aubrey's first Halloween was a lot of fun. We went to a party, went on a hayride, and went trick-or-treating. She was so excited about the evening's events, she asked to wear her ears during dinner.

Do you notice anything different?

Cruising Along

A few weeks ago Aubrey took 6 steps in a row. She is starting to take more and hold her balance better. Here she is in action...

It's Pajama Time

The cooler weather brought the first opportunity of the season for PJ's. I'm glad she got a chance to wear these before Halloween.

Cutest Tiger Fan

I think she likes it, what do you think?

Weekend Fun

We had a fun weekend which included a few firsts for Aubrey. My work had a picnic at the zoo on Saturday, so it was Aubrey's first trip to the zoo. The weather was perfect, and most of the animals seemed to be sleeping, but we did see the elephants, giraffes, and monkeys. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the animals or us watching them. Here's a picture of Aubrey on the carousel (another first from the weekend).

And this is Aubrey right before we left. She was worn out and was asleep before we got to the car.

Today Aubrey attended her first birthday party. The party was at a children's gym, so there were lots of bright colors, mats, and things to crawl on. Aubrey had a great time dancing and playing.

Hurricane Fun

Here are some of the activities that kept us entertained those first few days with no power...

Hurricane Ike Update

We survived Hurricane Ike with no damage to our house. We lost part of our fence, the contents of our refrigerator, the basketball goal, and a large branch off of our magnolia tree. Overall we were very fortunate. We are still without power. (I'm at work today.) It actually flickered a few times yesterday, but I guess they were just teasing us because it never came on. We've been fortunate to have beautiful, cool weather the past few days. A cold front blew in after the hurricane. Aubrey has been so good through all of this. I think she's at the perfect age. She doesn't watch tv, none of her entertainment requires power, she's still sleeping and eating like normal. Once we get power back, I will post some of our hurricane activities.
