Happy First Birthday Aubrey!

Last Friday was Aubrey's first birthday! I am so sad she is growing up so fast. Why does time just CRAWL when you are pregnant but flies when you're not?! She is such a wonderful little baby and we all are just nuts over her.

We did a pretty low key party. We just had my parents, cousin Katie and Saundra and kids over for some homemade pizza and cupcakes.



Jackson and London gave Aubrey a box of Kleenex and a puzzle. Can you guess which was her favorite present of the night?


She was probably the funniest "first-time-cake-eater" out of all my kids. Oh my gosh, it was hilarious. Once she first started poking at the cake and realized it was all hers to do what she wanted with, she got this happy wide open mouth face. It was SO cute!



Wow, can you tell there's a large amount of butter in this recipe? Ew.


Kleenex and wrapping paper. It's really all a baby needs!



Here are few tidbits about Aubrey on her first birthday:
-Aubrey is 22.1 lbs (77th percentile) and 31 inches tall (95th percentile)
-Aubrey is going back and forth between one and two naps lately. Two is sometimes too many especially if the first is just a little too long and one is never enough for her to get through the whole day happily.
-She goes to bed around 7-7:30pm and sleeps straight through until 7 or 7:30am.
-Aubrey LOVES other kids, especially her brother and sister. When they play (nicely) with her she gets so excited.
-She loves the swings. When you jump down and play peek a boo and tickle her while she swings she dies laughing.
-Aubrey is a really goofy girl. Sometimes for no reason she'll just start laughing. You look over at her and laugh back and she just keeps on going!
-She loves to play games. She'll make little noises at you or throw toys to you trying to get a response. When you play along she loves it!

Aubrey Kate is the sweetest little baby ever and we are so lucky to have her!
