If blood and stuff like that bothers you, please do not scroll down!! You have been warned!
For some reason, Daphne likes to wait until she gets to Micah's parents' house to pull out her teeth. However, the tooth fairy doesn't seem to make stops there anymore so she does get to bring it home. Between her and Kaylee losing teeth, the tooth fairy is going to go broke fast!
This picture was taken about a month ago and she looks a lot older now, but I thought that it was too cute to not show it off.
What a cute little kitty cat!
Sharing her playmat with Noah. Aubrey loves her playmat! She'll lay on it for a while at a time and play with the toys dangling from it.
Aubrey is now six months old and the past months have really seemed to fly by. She had her appointment today and had to get 5 shots plus drink something. She's gotten to that age where she looks at my with eyes that say, "Why Momma? Why is that mean old nurse doing this to me?" Everything else about the check-up went really well. She is about a month behind on some developments, but right on schedule with others. Her measurements are: Length - 26 inches (50-75%), Weight - 13.8 lbs (15%), and Head Circumference - 17 1/2 inches (90-95%!!). The doctor is still watching her head growth and her soft spot so we'll go back in a month for another check-up.
Aubrey is really starting to notice when other people talk and turning to face them. She's also really clinging to me and will sometimes stop crying when I take her from someone else. She has been eating some rice and bananas since about Christmas time and we just started some peas and green beans a few weeks ago. She loves to eat. She opens her mouth for more and she'll even open her mouth when I'm eating something. And this is what she looks like when you stop feeding her for a second...
Not so cute, right?
Aubrey was sleeping through the night about a month ago, but lately she's wanting to nurse every three hours and then lay in her bed (which is still in our room) and talk for a while before she goes back to sleep. She usually goes back to sleep really good around 5:45 or 6:00 and then my alarm goes off at 6:30. I have really started to feel the effects of lack of sleep lately!
This past weekend we went to Memphis to visit my Aunt Marcy and celebrate her birthday, my birthday, Kaylee's birthday, Micah's birthday, and Noah's upcoming birthday. We pretty much sat around the house and relaxed, but we did go to the zoo on our way out of town. Here are some pictures of the wild animals.
Then they'll probably get up even earlier than a regular school day (and you thought you might get to sleep in!)
Then they'll probaby pull out half of their clothes trying to find something warm to wear.
Then it will take them at least 30 minutes to get dressed.
Then they'll probably only play outside for 10 minutes.
Then they'll definitley want some hot chocolate when they come in.
Then they'll want to watch TV for a while.
Then they'll probably be ready to go back outside again.
Then they'll take at another 30 minutes getting all their coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. back on.
If you give the kids a snow day...
So far we have had 3 days off from school for snow!! Those of you who have lived in the central Arkansas area know that this is not something that happens very often. Sunday night through Monday we got over 5 inches of snow! And the best thing is that it was the perfect kind of snow for building a snowmen and making snowballs. We've had a lot of fun playing outside!
