It's the 14th again!

Aubrey is 7 months old today! Its been a hard day...... we got back from Dallas at 1:30am last night (delayed flight in Atlanta BUT we met Jake from the Bachelorette!) I could tell she wasn't herself starting on Saturday when I had lunch with some of my high school friends and it progressed from there. On the flight home she was coughing, had a runny nose, and threw up all over me. I took her to the doc today and got some medicine so hopefully our little bugs will get better soon. This is the first time she has been sick so it has kinda freaked us out.

Anyways, at her appt today she weighed 16 lbs 15 oz! I took a pic to mark her 7 month birthday after a long nap and a few hours of medicine so she doesn't look that sick (the congestion is worst in the morning and evenings). Thanks for being such a little trooper this weekend Aubs!

Santa

We took Aubrey to meet Santa this weekend. She sat on Santa's lap at the mall on Saturday and then again on Sunday at our squadrons children's Christmas party. I thought she would be scared of Santa especially with her starting to have some separation anxiety. Aubs proved me wrong again and loved sitting on his lap, she must know that Santa brings the gifts!

Turkey Days

We just got back from a trip to Houston where we celebrated Thanksgiving. Our flight back was delayed and we didn't get home until 2:30am so I am a little brain dead at this point:) Anyways we had a wonderful time visiting family. On Thanksgiving Day we did the Turkey Trot 5K run that benefits Sheltering Arms Senior Services. It was our first year to do the Trot and I think we'll make it a new tradition - it's a great way to work up an appetite for a good cause. After the trot we headed to my parents "property" that is an hour outside Houston. When we got there we found Nate's and my parents cooking up a storm! I have been there before but Nate and Aubrey haven't. Nate was in heaven and did all things manly. It was fun to get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax and be in the fresh air (filled with smoke from the campfire!). There is a camphouse but you do have to rough it a bit, I wasn't sure how Aubrey would do in those conditions. She adapted like a champ. I love dressing that baby up like a girly-girl but I think someday soon she'll throw off her bows to go play with with her uncles, grandpas, and dad in the woods! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great Thanksgiving.

After the run, we left Aubrey in her jammies to keep her toasty warm!
