Times are changing

So here it is almost March and I have no Aubrey updates!  Needless to say she keeps me busy and now that she is on the move, there is no sitting around. Yes, that is correct, she is crawling.  She has been crawling since the middle of January.  She was kind of slow at first but within the past couple weeks she can high tail it.  So we have learned a lot about what we need to baby proof.  Baby gates are up and and cabinet locks are on.

Not but a couple weeks later she started pulling up to things and standing up.  She does this with whatever she can get a hold of.  She now holds on to things and lets go and stands there for awhile.  And now she is a a climbing!  I turned around one day and looked back to find her standing on her toy turtle try to get on the couch!  She also stands up in her crib and looks at me and says "ma, ma" to try and get me up.  (This is of course if she isn't already sleeping in my bed)  She loves her mommy and she sees me all day but sometimes that isn't enough and has to share the bed with me.

She really enjoys music and likes to rock back and forth to it.  She has a pretty good beat.  So  now we are getting into nursery rhymes.  Her and grammie watch them on the computer at night before bed.  So far "Old MacDonald" and "Bingo" are here favorites.  As far as regular music she enjoys anything with a good beat.  But she particularly likes to get done to "Ice, ice baby" lol

Any day now we should have a tooth!  She had been teething for a long time and now she has some swollen gums and you can feel one cutting through.  Hopefully it comes soon because it changes her disposition and she isn't quite the happy, smiley baby likes she usually is.  Sometimes are better than others.  I have been giving different frozen fruits to help with her gums.  She loves most fruits but mangos and strawberries are her favorites!

I love watching her grow and seeing the little wheels in her head turn when she figures something out.  She has a laugh that is contagious (video to come later) and gives the best kisses.  There for awhile only mommy was getting kisses but now grammie and grandpa get them too.  And the dog! (Which she can say dog now)  Her stuffed animals get numerous kisses as well.  Some mornings I wake up to kisses from her and I always get one when I leave for work and can usually get one whenever I ask for one.  She gives me reason to smile and be happy everyday.  I can't believe she is almost 9 months old.

Well at the rate I keep up with this, she will be running the next time I update lol but hopefully that isn't the case.



Here are some pics to enjoy!
