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 4 months Aubrey!
The poor sweet baby is drifting in and out of sleep right now after another round of vaccines. She's also had her first snow today - which for her meant being bundled up in her bear coat and buried under a pile of blankets while we ran her from the car to the doctor's office and then afterwards back out to the car. The snow was a bit of a surprise though, the weather predicted some flurries and I wore sandals, brrrr. She is getting so big! 14lbs!! The nurse measured her at 26 inches long too, but we remeasured since we knew she was off because of how much Aubrey was moving and we got 25 inches so somewhere between there.
Tomorrow is Aubrey's first Thanksgiving and we'll be spending it with my great Aunt, or 1st cousin twice removed or something like that. Our only family in Lincoln, but a definite upgrade from no family in Philadelphia. I'm making the mashed potatoes :).

Little laughs!
My baby girl is starting to laugh! The first time it was so goofy, Jarom really got her going by singing the itsy-bitsy spider to her and the next day I had her cracking up by explaining that a touchdown was 6 points and then the extra point made 7 and repeating 6+1=7 was just plain hilarious apparently. Then we tried to catch her on tape and no more laughs :( We did manage to covertly get a couple seconds the other day - not in its full goofy glory, but precious nonetheless!

My stomach is turning now that it's November and her 4 month appointment and more shots are coming up, but then I try to think past that to December when we get to go home for Christmas!!! Of course that causes me a little anxiety too since she's in such demand and winter is cold and flu time and I can just picture all sorts of grubby hands grabbing at her. Is it possible to be Panthophobic by proxy? Do I even need to ask, I know it am! Deep cleansing breaths....I can survive having a child... who knew the hardest part would be the pathological worrying?
