6 months!

I have tried to get Aubrey's pictures taken every month since her birth, although it's been a little difficult with living out of the country. I have actually been able to have most of them taken in the States. It's quite expensive to have it done here, but I did do it once - for her 4 month pictures, and I'll probably look around to see if I can find a more reasonably priced place considering it will be a couple more months before we're "home" again. Since she's sitting up pretty well now I figured we could do a beach photo shoot and then fix up the pictures and print them later. So, this is what we got!
Aubrey was pleased with her photo shoot! (Thanks, Auntie Stephie, for the adorable bathing suit!)

Aubrey was in a daze after her photo shoot!

She LOVED the ocean.

Tryin' out daddy's sunglasses.

Look at those rolls!

A few nights ago we went to Brick House restaurant for dinner. We happened to have gone here the night before I went in to have Aubrey. Our waitress was the same lady both times. I didn't realize it, but she did. She looked at me and said, "The last time I was your waitress, you were going in to have HER the next day!" So cool. Here she is acting all big stuff in the high chair!

"May I please have some ice cream?!"

Happy Sunday!

Havin a daddy-daughter talk!

Where else is there to be on a Saturday but Fosters? Oh wait...maybe the beach?!
Out to eat - loving the high chair thing!

I like bananas!

See it?!

This thing is pretty cool!

Thanks, Maria!

Aubrey's 5 month pictures

Breakfast with Grandma & Grandpa

On Saturday mornings the Westin has an awesome breakfast buffet. We have only hit it 2 times so far. This morning we went around 9, then did some other running around.
This picture was taken at Cost-U-Less. It was Aubrey's first time to ride in a cart. She thought it was pretty cool stuff!

Aubrey with Grandpa and Grandma. The beautiful sea is in the background, but because of the lighting or something weird, you can't see it. It is a gorgeous day here though.

She loved playing with Grandpa's hat.

Adam and his dad

Aubs! (Maria, this is one of the dresses you got for her...it's the 18 mo. one, so it must run small!)

Polka Dots!!!

Fun with ALE!

Aaron, Lisa and Elliott were able to come over to Columbus for the weekend when we were there. They enjoy going to Columbus on occasion anyway, so decided to make that weekend one of those. We were able to spend supper Friday and lunch Saturday with them. Thanks for making the effort, guys! It was fun!

Aubrey and Elliott

This pic cracks me up! He looks all too excited about that puzzle!

What a cutie pie!

Fun with Aunt Lisa

a little bit of "home"

This was the morning we flew out. Aubrey was SOOO tired. I brought her downstairs and mammaw wanted one last cuddle. It was such a sweet moment!

My mom came along to Columbus to watch Aubrey for us while we were at the convention. It was so nice for Aubrey to be able to spend some time with her mammaw. They really connected and had lots of fun! Thanks again, Mom!

Chillaxin' with pappaw!

Aubrey really liked Kaitlynn! It seemed that all Kaitlynn would have to do was smile and Aubrey would start laughing! Great times.

I figure I'd better enjoy this picture while I can. Ryan is getting SO big! It's hard to believe that my first little nephew could already be this big!
