Sitting and Pulling herself up on her own!


As of Monday Aubrey has figured out how to sit up on her own! And the very next day she figured out how to pull her self up to standing in her little bath tub and quickly applied that knowledge to her crib and anything she can get a hold of. She is getting so big! Even though she isn't crawling yet, and has never been a fan of rolling, somehow she is getting herself around the house if you set her down. She has created a system of stretching out while laying down, then getting up on all fours like she's about to crawl, then sitting, then back to all fours and sometimes pushing herself backwards, this is how she manages to get all the way across the room to a toy or more often other interesting object that shouldn't be there. Although we are trying to get her to crawl, she has made it quite clear she would rather walk, and as I speak she is working on getting up on to her feet without something to pull up on... for this reason I keep plenty of pillows and blankets around her because the poor thing has had quite a few face plants already :( Nothing a few Mommy kisses can't fix :)

Happy 7 months Aubrey!

I know, long time no write. Been busy busy busy! Poor sweet baby is just starting to get over her first cold and ear infection, a double whammy! She's getting enormous and still on the cusp of crawling, her biggest obstacle is that she'd much rather walk and she spends most of her tummy time trying to get on her feet. She has now tried, and been disgusted with: carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce, and pears. The girl will only eat rice and oatmeal! Her favorite sounds right now include whispering "ta ta ta" and saying s's and a crackly static noise. She loves to be tickled, held up in the air over your head, and held upside down. Enjoy this video montage for a while :)
