Jamen and I found a bunch of old video clips on our new computer...must have transfered over...not sure how, but it was fun to watch and hard to believe that our Makayla was that little...pause the music before you hit play so you can hear her sweet baby voice :)
Our first Christmas home as a family of four! The girls were so excited to come downstairs to take inventory of what Santa had left for them. Makayla kept telling us that she heard Santa come down our chimney...Makayla ripped through present after present, while Aubrey was content to play with whatever new toy was unwrapped. Makayla and I baked a cake for Jesus's birthday and we all sang happy birthday to him, the true reason we celebrate Christmas. Lots of presents, lot's of laughter, love and best of all special family time!
No more monkey crawling out of bed! And she actually likes her new tent and we can relax knowing that she is safe IN her crib :)
Look at this sweet little face...it just breaks my heart :( on the other hand I am in complete shock that our 19 month old has discovered how to crawl out of her crib. Yikes!
Here's what happened today....I laid Aubrey down for a nap, nothing different she went down easily...when all of a sudden it sounded like Makayla had opened her bedroom door. Makayla told me that she didn't and that she saw Aubrey's door handle moving...so I run to my room and turn on our video monitor and sure enough there's little Aubrey standing at her door, trying to get out.
So I put her back in her crib....only for her to crawl out again, but this time I stopped her before she fell....
Fast forward to tonight, lots of snuggles before bed, I lay her down and by the time I had shut her door and walked to the hall way to turn on the video monitor she was up on top of her crib...I run in and tell her no, snuggle her and lay her down telling her to not climb out again (yeah, right mom!)
Ready for her to try again I think to myself that I should grab my camera so I can capture her. So I run and grab my camera, ready to catch her in the act...but instead I capture her crying for me..."mommy, out!"
I snap the picture and then snatch her up, comforting her telling her to STAY in bed...and this time it worked. (sigh of relief)
My girls LOVE their smoothies...it pretty much is part of our daily routine...except for today Aubrey choose to sit at the "big" table. It is amazing to me at how she just climbs on up with no fear at only 19 months of age...whereas her big sister probably was not doing that until she was closer to 3. Cheers to sisterly sunday smoothies!
You are so full of life, love, spunk, smiles, giggles, new words, squeezes, snuggles, bodyslams...our love for you just keeps getting bigger and bigger for you every day!
Here's what you love to do now:
Happy 19 month birthday baby girl! You are loved!
