Lots of Firsts in the First days of the First month of her First year!



Our little princess!



Just NINE days before Aubree's
FIVE MONTH birthday, she has
thrilled us with a lot of firsts!


She is starting off 2009 with a bang!







#1. Rice cereal!!

Aubree's reaction was one of: "Where has THIS been my whole life????" She was quite spastic, but did remarkably well! Better than I remember Brock doing on his cereal debut! And he was a FULL five months old! ;) We're hoping this helps her reflux a little, and rumor has it, she might sleep better at night. That remains to be seen. I think she may be a teenager before she sleeps through the night on a consistent basis!
She made a Happy Bowl!!

Brock's reaction to Aubree eating was a little entertaining as well!


#2. Rolling Over!!
Aubree rolled over for the first time on Christmas Day, but she always did it when waking up from her nap and we just witnessed it for the first time today! She's really funny, she does it "ballerina style". The pictures and video don't do justice to the way we saw it the first time, but she arches her back and keeps arching and kicking her head/feet back until she gets all the way over! She's going to rock at "back-bends"!





#3. Laughing!!
Remembering back to all the firsts I experienced with Brock, I believe the best things you can experience with your children are: first smiles, first laughs, and first time they say "I love you mommy"! All of those melt your heart! The second child is no exception! Aubree has been close to a laugh for a week or two, but we FINALLY found something to consistently make her chuckle! What cracks me up is the technique we used!
Who remembers the Friends episode when Rachael & Ross get Emma to laugh by singing "Baby Got Back"? http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi799802137/
Well, Miss Aubree prefers: "I like to move it, move it. I like to move it, move it. I like to move it. move it. I like to...MOVE IT!" (Which coincidentally is one of Brock's favorite lines/songs to recite...from one of the Madagascar movies)

Um....we totally did the 'Baby Got Back' thing with Logan - he laughed so hard. Other songs just didn't work so well! :)
Aubree is just too precious!!!
