Waiting on Halloween!

Going to church with Little Lamb a few Sundays ago.

A bit of a cold walk primarily due to the breeze. This was the first time we used the stroller without the car seat.  She enjoyed it especially all bundled up.

Dressed up for a day around the house.  Lots of fluffy pink.

 Roxy likes watching Aubrey from a safe distance.  Both of them pretty much sleep, eat, play, and stare at me all day.

 In her "My First Halloween" outfit first with her witch hat.

 Then with her headband. 

 After her rolling maneuvers, we went on a shopping expedition.

 Our ward had Trunk Or Treat this past Saturday.  Aubrey had a difficult time being still for pictures, but she sure makes a cute little butterfly.

 Her and Daddy with a similar look on their faces.

 One of the few pictures I have with all of us in it though baby forgot to look at the camera.

 On Sunday, she was dressed up in her adorable orange dress.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a navy headband in the stores to go with the flower on her cardigan, but she looked picture perfect anyways.  We are excited to celebrate her first Halloween this week!

 Playing in jumperoo yesterday while Mommy cooked.

 Happy roller following our shopping outing.

Texas State Fair

Our little girl is so proud of herself when she rolls over!!

 Sometimes her play gym gets in her way though.

 This past Saturday the 19th, we went to the Texas State Fair.  Unlike last Saturday, it was chilly outside with a little bit of a cold wind.  We dressed her up in an adorable outift that has a matching jacket .  Here she is before we left playing with Little Lamb.

 Entire outfit put together.  How cute!

 We bundled her up nice and warm with a couple of soft, cozy blankets.  It took a while getting through security.

 Watching the doggy show with Daddy.

 The puppies did some fun tricks jumping into water, playing with frisbees, and racing each other.

 We watched the Pee-Wee Stampede.  Basically, they put a hat and chaps on some little kids, give them a stick horse, and let them jump around.  It was pretty cute.

 This young lady won.

 Our favorite part was the greenhouse and Farmer Mike's carved pumpkins.

 Baby was asleep while we visited the greenhouse.

 There were lots and lots of bunnies on display some really cute and some really big.  They had ribbons on the cages of the winners.

 My other favorite were the pig races.  Here is Aubrey watching.

 The little pigs were pretty fast and quit funny to watch as they raced each other to the treat (an oreo) at the end.

 Here they are at the beginning of their run.

 

 Overall, the State Fair was interesting.  We had our share of fattening, fried food including jumbo sausage, fried oreos, fried pumpkin pie, etc.  Aubrey did amazing the entire six or so hours we were out despite the large crowds and really loud noises.  Maybe next time we go we can try out some of the rides or stay later for the lantern festival.

Four Months

Little Aubrey turned four months already this past Saturday.  She continues to grow super fast and each well child appointment proves that fact.  

At her appointment yesterday, she weighed 17 lbs 4.5 oz (94%) and measured 25.75 inches (92%).  Wow, that is the size of an average six or seven month old for both weight and length!!  She is getting better at rolling, grabbing objects, and holding herself up.  She is definitely a strong young lady!

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday the 12th, we drove up to Flower Mound to go to a pumpkin patch there.  Unfortunately, it wasn't a real pumpkin patch like in Connecticut, but they do a pretty good job of making it have a farm feel to it.  Here is Aubrey with her toys on the way up.

She was having lots of fun,

but then had a little nap.

I think it is really funny how she holds onto the sides of her car seat real tight when she is sleeping in it.

Yeah, we made it there!  They have a bunch of picture taking opportunities at the patch.  Too bad Joe couldn't make both of their heads show through each of the holes, but Aubrey looks cute.

It was really hot and humid, at least 90 degrees.

Cute photo shoot!!  Looking good in her pumpkin dress!

The had little wagons to drag around while finding your pumpkins.  The selection was pretty good.

I like this one a lot because you can see Joe and Aubrey.

Napping while driving back home.

I didn't get a good picture of my huge pumpkin which has a really nice stem at the patch so I took one of it a home.

Ready for church on Sunday.  We thought it might be a little cool at church so I put a little sweater on her - still too hot though - she definitely has my sweat glands.

After church, we took some pictures with me.  I really like how she looks in this one.

That night we put her in her Halloween sleeper for the first time.  We are excited for her first Halloween and I am excited to get back to pumpkin carving this year since I didn't carve one last year due to my all-day morning sickness.
