Wow. Four months ago I had my first child. I can't even begin to write about the different emotions that I have experienced since that time. A big one being surprise. Yup, I am continually surprised at how much I love and have fun with Aubry. She is everything I hoped for, but didn't dare think I would get. As many of you have read, Aubry is quite a bit on the small side. Always, below the 5%tile of children her age. No big deal. Well, we went to the doctor yesterday and while her head size is still that small, she is now 11 pounds 5 ounces, and 23 1/4 inches long. That means that in weight she is now in the 5-10%tile and height in the 10-25 %tile. I am so proud of her!! Granted she could still be eaten by most babies her age and by a couple who aren't, but she is growing at a good rate and my hopes of her being taller than me might come to pass. I mean, Chris is a whole foot taller than me so she should be in
the middle right??
So anyways, Aubry is doing super well and so now I can brag about all the cool stuff she can do.
She can roll over.
She can giggle.
She can stand up if we steady her.
She can reach for things.
She touches her toes and blows raspberries (at the same time).
She follows our voices.
She brings her hands together.
And she can push up on all fours. (discovered at my parent's house this weekend.)
I can't believe how cool she is. She keeps me guessing all the time and has decided that Chris has to sit by her all the time when we are driving. She loves making faces with him and watching him play the computer. It's hilarious to see them both mesmerized by the computer screen.
Anyways, I also want to let people know how awesomely cool my husband is. He is so amazing with kids and I am so lucky. For example, this weekend me and Lara went to my parents house in Moapa, and Chris spent so much time playing with Dallin. Just sitting on the floor and playing with toys. I was amazed. Dallin was in heaven and I marveled at how good he is with children. And I realized that I hit the freakin' jackpot in husbands, cause how many out there get down and play with toys?? So, THANKS FATE!! For bringing me the best there is!!
I will post some pictures of Aubry when Chris gets home, cause he has the camera in his backpack...=)
P.S. Here are the pictures I promised.
