The Purple Pixie Princess

I've been dressing Aubrey in some of my onesie designs so I have some "action shots" for marketing, etc. This little photo shoot quickly turned into something much more fun and much more precious than I could have imagined. She's such a doll!!

Potbelly Fred

Potbelly Fred is a raccoon. Well, a stuffed one of course! He was Jerry's favorite when he was growing up, and he slept with him every night. Last weekend, we found him in a box and I decided to revive him!

He needed a little mending and a good cleaning, so I put him back together and gave him a good cleaning with the always miraculous OXY cleaner. He was looking better already, so I tossed him into the wash with the baby soap and then the dryer to fluff him up. I brushed out all of his fur, so he would be nice and fluffy again and soft enough to cuddle!

Needless to say, Jerry was pretty happy to see his old friend "good as new" again. Of course the real reason he was so happy was because he wanted to share his old buddy with Aubrey. Even though she's still a little young to know what's up, we set Fred up in her room to watch over her until she's ready to let him cuddle HER to sleep too. :)

Our little Bookworm

Since the beginning, (and when I say beginning I mean like in-utero) we've been reading to Aubrey. Now that she's doing some supported sitting up she's having alot of fun reading the books "all by herself"! What a little bookworm she's becoming! ;)

"Reading" her own version of the story to Momma

 Turning the pages "all by myself"

Listening intently and ready for more!

Aubrey's first solids!

We had Aubrey's 4 month checkup this week, and despite the terrible shots, we did get some exciting news... it's time to start feeding her cereal! We were so excited and just couldn't wait!! 

 These faces just kill me! We were laughing SO hard!

 She even did pretty well with her first sippy cup of water! :)

Enough of this mess! Can I just eat my finger instead?

Beach Trip!

September 6th is Jerry and my wedding anniversary. Since we're not really ready to leave little Aubrey, we decided to take her down to Galveston for a little surf and seafood! It wasn't a sunny day (thank goodness!) but she was too cute with the breeze in her face. I'm not sure she knew quite what to make of things, haha!

Happy Family! 

I don't know if you've ever tried to get a 3 month old to look at the camera on cue, 

but it's nearly impossible, haha!

Taking it all in... she looks so cute!

 Trying to decide what to order at Casey's... YUUUM!!

I really really tried with the hat, but she was just having NONE of it!

Momma and baby on the pier at Murdoch's

Snuggling with her bankey on the ride home... 

It's a good thing we left when we did... Tropical Storm came through just after we left, LOL! Oops.
