Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving 2009 was held at Lyn's mom & dad's house. We had yummy turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, bread, etc. It was all very yummy.
Aubrey thought her first Thanksgiving was great! Too bad her dinner consisted of the same foods she eats every day---breast milk and formula! Next year she will be able to dig in with the rest of us!

Here are a few pictures from Aubrey's first Thanksgiving. Daddy wasn't thrilled to have his picture taken!

Aubrey's 1 month check up

Today I took Aubrey for her 1 month check up. Here are her stats:

Weight: 8lbs, 12oz: 25th percentile
Length: 21 3/4": 50-75th percentile
Head Circumference: 13 3/4": 5th percentile

Aubrey received 1 shot and the look on her face when the nurse put the needle in her thigh was priceless. It was one of "What the HE** is going on here?" She started to cry, but let up once grandma picked her up. She whimpered until we got in the car, but once we got rolling she was fast asleep.

Here's a picture we took over the weekend. I swear she made the a-ok sign with her fingers herself, we didn't put her in that position!

Visits from family and friends

Since Aubrey was born we have had a whole bunch of friends and family that have come to visit us! With mommy being home all day with Aubrey, visits are definitely encouraged! There are a few more pictures that need to be added, but they are on the old computer and need to be transfered over. We will get those posted asap!

Hanging out with my kitty cat....

Here are a few pictures of Aubrey hangint out on our bed. One of our cats, Paisley jumped up there to lay with her. She often puts her paw on Aubrey's head--mostly when she is having a crying fit and she wants to console her. Awww....precious!!!

First walk in the stroller

Uncle Mike and Aunt Sue came to town for the weekend. It was a balmy 70-ish degree day here in Michigan on Sunday, November 8th, so we decided to take Aubrey on her first walk around Bama's neighborhood. We stopped by to see the Kraemer's, Edie and The Gudneau's. Aubrey slept pretty much the whole time and didn't fuss or cry. We think the fresh air wore her out, since she slept for 2 more hours after we got back home.

Aubrey's 1st Halloween

Aunt Alicia bought Aubrey her the "Baby's 1st Halloween" bib and Aunt Sherrie, Uncle Shawn and Samantha brought Aubrey her first Halloween outfit. Both the bib and the onesie were a little big on her since she is still under 7lbs, but we made it work! Daddy carved her her first pumpkin. We don't know why she was in such a bad mood, we couldn't get a picture of her not crying! Oh well....at 14 days old, what else can you expect? We did not take her out trick or treating since she is just way too small yet. We are looking forward to taking her out next year!
