~*Aubrie*~

My little munchkin in now 10 months old and growing and changing so much everyday! She weighs in at 19 pounds and is almost walking! The other day she took 5 steps! She is so happy when she does it too, she starts waving her arms and yelling (which makes her fall) Soon soon I will be chasing two wild turkeys :O)

Aubrie has also become quite the little chatterbox, and is trying to talk all the time. All day she is "da ba ga ma" ing, talking baby language, its so cute. I guess I have to admit defeat and admit her first word was/is dada. She goes around saying it all day and whenever she comes up to Nates feet she is saying dadadadadadada. She has also learned to be loud from her sweet loud brother :O) He likes to scream, and so does she...:)

She LOVES the Christmas Tree and will sit near it and talk to it for minutes on end... For Tree she says "T" and sometimes "Tree" and she knows exactly where its at. Its a little too high for her to touch unless she is standing up, then she can reach the lights. :) She also loves Balloons (imagine that) she was VERY scared of them up until a few weeks ago and now when she see's one her eyes get wide in amazement and she has "bababa" for balloon :)

She isnt sleeping very well at night, and we havent been able to figure it out. Lately its been really bad. She's been taking a "nap" at 8pm, and waking up at 9pm and not wanting to go back to sleep until midnight. From midnight on she wakes up sporadically crying, like somethings hurting. We've checked into ear infections, teething etc... but cant find the culprit... Maybe shes having nighmares? It would be so nice to get her on a sleep schedule but I just dont have it in me to let her "cry it out," I guess it will all work out one way or another, maybe not until shes 12, but it will all work out haha...

All in all she is growing and doing amazing and is such a little joy :O)
