Crawling on cloud 9...

Here we are! Sweet Aubree is 9 months old! She weighs 15.10 lbs and is 25 1/2 inches long.

This has been one of the funnest months yet. She has such a playful personality and is such a joy.

9 month favorites:

Crawling, crawling, and more crawling.

Puff cereal.

Daddy.

My ride-a-long puppy, bingo.

Bath time.

People watching at restaurants.

Banging toys together to make noise.

Getting tickled.

Pulling up on things.

People clapping.

Reading.

Crawling into mommy's lap.

Finger foods.

She now has 2 bottom teeth and working on her top ones.

Love watching her learn and grow! Can't believe she will be one in 3 months!!!

Another milestone...

My itty bitty is now off to the races. As of January the 12, 2012 my once still and giggly baby is now crawling everywhere!!! She started off just kind of wobbling around all morning and rolling a lot more, the she woke up from her nap and decided it was time to start going places...and boy did she! She is still so tiny for her age, so its so cute to see this little bitty baby on the move. She is so stinkin cute and she LOVES it! We are so proud of her and love watching her grow.


She has also started to pull up on and climb on her toys and everything else over the weekend. Let the fun begin! Even if it gets tiring I love chasing her around the house because one day I know that I will wish she was this little. Trying to cherish every moment.

Turning 8 is great!! {months that is}

So the countdown is on!! My baby will be one in just 4 short months! I. CAN. NOT. BELIEVE. IT!!! I'm am so happy and love how she is growing and developing such a sweet {yet sassy} personality, but it also makes me a little sad that it's going by so fast.

My little bitty is such a little fire cracker, but yet the sweetest baby ever.

Some of her favorite things at eight months:

Giggling

Her daddy

Watching people clap

Laying on her back with her arms and legs straight out screeching. {hillarious}

Eating. Eating. And more eating.

Trying to drink out of the sippy cup from the bottom.

The tv remote. {has to be her favorite}

Trying to crawl.

Log rolling. {also hillarious}

Panting {yes, like a dog} :)

Finally likes her bouncer.

Her pink blocks she got for Christmas.

And still... Of course... Bath time. :)

She is now wearing 6-9 month clothes, but bless her heart, still newborn shoes. Still has those tiny toes. She's getting her first tooth!

So sweet, so precious, so perfect! Happy 8 months Aubree Kate!

Ringing in the new year...

This past year was nothing short of fabulous! God has blessed us in so many ways this year and we are truly grateful.

Crazy to think just one year ago we were a family of 2 1/2. I was 5 months pregnant. :)

In April of this year were blessed with our precious baby girl Aubree Kate Laymance. She has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. Seems like just yesterday she was this tiny.

So many wonderful things have happened this year, but here are a few of our biggest moments.

We have had...

First smiles.

Scotty celebrated his first Father's Day.

Aubrees first Halloween.

Aubree's first Thanksgiving.

First family photos.

Aubree's first Christmas.

And most fun of all is watching our baby girl grow developmentally and intellectually. We are thankful for her health and happiness.

I wish for continued good health and happiness for our family. Happy new Year!

A little holiday cheer...

I have been anticipating Our first Christmas as a family of 3 since the day I found out I was pregnant. I was looking forward to all of the family time, presents, traditions, and wonderful memories.

Aubree's first Christmas was so wonderful and memory filled, so much I can't wait till next year!!

One of the traditions of Christmas is making cookies for Santa. I couldn't wait to do this with Aubree, and of course she had to help!

Since I was little we have always gotten to open one presents on Christmas Eve and it was always new holiday pajamas. So Aubree had to get in on the jamma time fun! :) Her Christmas pajamas were precious! Love the ruffles.

I knew Aubree was going to get TONS of presents, but OMGoodness!! she got so much cool stuff! The mound of gifts was a reassurance of how blessed we are to have the family we do.

Oh! And she was a pro at opening them!

This is one of her favorite toys... Ellee the Elephant that blows balls in the air. :)

This Christmas was so wonderful. One of my favorite quotes comes to mind when I think about it.

"Don't cry that it's over, smile because it happened."

Seven On 11-27

So Aubree turned 7 months!! Yes, I said 7 months!! Can I just tell you that I LOVE this age. She is the sweetest, funniest, cutest thing ever! She is such a happy baby and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. Happy 7 months Aubree Kate!


Aubree's 7 month favorite things to do:
Roll over.
Sit up by herself.
Laugh out loud {especially when Daddy tickles her}.
{try} to drink from her sippy cup.
Put her bottom in the air and rock back and forth. {she will be crawling in no time}.
Pull of her {right} sock.


Aubree is now eating level 2 foods, 3-6 month clothes, size 2 diapers and at her last appointment she weighed 13.1 lbs! Love her little petite self! :)

Her next monthly birthday will be right after Christmas!!! Can't wait to open all of her gifts with her!!

Santa Loves Me.

It's Christmas time!!! I could not be more excited! I love Christmas and everything about it. Of course Aubree is too young for the 25 days of Christmas giving or Elf on the Shelf, but there is still so much be excited about! One thing being Christmas pictures, of course!!

I just love this one!

One of many first exciting things I couldn't wait to do when I found out I was expecting was our first family Christmas card! I can't wait to design them and find the right picture for it!

Here is peek into some of our Christmas family pictures!

This one I love.

She is the best present to our family!

So precious!
