Shopping at its finest

It finally feels like Spring outside!!

Today we went grocery shopping and decided to take Aubrey with us for the first time out in public, like really out in public. Not a quick trip into the store and then out. She was actually pretty good and slept most of the time.

After we shopped we decided to spend the day at my sister's house to just hang out and watch movies. A decent day I must say.

Shopping is exhausting!

I'll continue to sleep on Daddy.

Baby toes

 Happy Birthday Aunt Sabrina and Pappaw!!


Aubrey and I went to my sister Holly's house today. She had surgery on her foot and will be out of work for over a month so we have been keeping her company.

Aubrey even got a baby pedicure which she loved!

She looks a little cross-eyed. He he.

Baby toes. So cute!

Birth announcement

I love it!

Some photos of my little girl

Alex is at work so I decided to take some pictures of Aubrey to use for her birth announcement photo's. The lighting in the room was perfect and I got some good shots. She started to get a little fussy so we had to stop but I am pretty satisfied with the pictures I have.

I am really just starting out with photography as a hobby so they are not the greatest in the world but pretty good I might add for one of my firsts.

This was my favorite!! 

 She's like a little ballerina.

I don't like this bath you speak of!

Aubrey had her first official bath today! We have been giving her baths by basically wiping her down in the sink with a wash cloth and some baby soap but tonight she went into the baby tub.

At first she seemed a little concerned as if she was wondering where she was and what was going on but after a little bit she was used to it.

Hmm. I don't know about this.

Ahhh, now I'm good.

With daddy.

So snuggly warm.

She looks so different in this picture.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
My name is Aubrey
And I'm cuter than you! [He he.]

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Love,
Aubrey

Meet the Grandparents

Aubrey met her grandparents and uncle today for the first time! They saw her at the hospital when she was first born but that was for a brief second while Alex was holding her. The hospital I delivered at was very rude and didn't really let anyone see her that first day.

I made lasagna and we had chocolate pie for dessert. I wish I had pictures to post but for once in my life I did not really take any. I guess it's because my stitches were hurting and I did not feel very much like a photo shoot.

I did snap a picture of the dress she wore though.

In her "party" dress from her Aunt Holly.

Aubrey and Ireland meet

Aubrey is officially a week old and met her cousin Ireland for the first time today as well as her Aunt Sabrina and future Uncle Mark! It was a good day and even started to flurry. We were all pretty excited because we have not had much of a winter this year. It's basically been like a chilly fall the whole winter.

The snow started to fall really hard and then the wind picked up. It was like something out of a movies and then it suddenly just stopped. I wish I could have gotten a picture.

They meet!

With her Great-Mema.

Going home.

Relaxing at home after a long baby day.
















Tomorrow Aubrey meets her daddy's parents and her daddy's brother for the first time.

Daddy and Me

Not much of a post, just had to share this adorable picture of Alex and Aubrey. They both seem to be adjusting well.

All smiles with her daddy. <3

Loungin'

Aubrey had her first doctor's appointment today. She weighed seven pounds, 13 ounces. Not too much weight loss in her first few days. She goes back in a couple of weeks to make sure she is back at her birth weight.

When we got home Alex had to leave so he could go to work. So it's just Aubrey and I for the first time. [:

It's tough being a baby!

Chillin' at home for the first time

After a little more than three days in the hospital we are home! We had to stay a few extra days because of my blood pressure and I had a fever after delivery so they wanted to watch Aubrey for a few to make sure she did not get sick. They also found out that she is slightly anemic and has to take this really nasty iron drops.

Breastfeeding is obviously still a challenge and I feel like she is not getting enough so I have been doing bottle and breast. The hospital didn't like this but you know what? It's my baby and I will not let her be hungry because they push the whole Breast is Best thing on me.

Here's Aubrey adjusting to home and visitors. [:
