Swimming Lessons & 10 Months Old

 Aubree started swimming lessons. She is surprisingly catching on really fast! She kicks, floats, jumps to you from the ledge, and doesn't mind getting dunked. Fortunately, Daddy was able to come to this session :). Ree is obsessed with her Daddy and is his twin!

 Ree loves having swimming lessons with her buddy/boyfriend Holden.

 "Look Mom, bubbles!"

 

 Aubree turned 10 months on April 22, 2012. She seems like a big kid to me now. I've heard that is how you feel with your first...it hasn't hit me yet that she is almost ONE. I can't even believe it! Seriously, I think I'll cry when it hits me.

About Ree

Says Momma, Dadda, and speaks German (well it sounds like it).

She is still nursing 5 times a day.

Great eater. 

Loves to eat baby goldfish, veggie straws, and eggs.

She crawls out of her Bumbo when I'm not looking.

Throws everything out of her crib.

Hides under the crib when playing Hide 'n' Seek.
Points to dogs and birds.

Giggles so much when Daddy chases her.

Likes to be thrown on the bed.

Can walk with you holding one hand.

Stands on her own.

Can be entertained for awhile with dental floss, a wallet, measuring cups, and of course things she shouldn't be playing with.

Obsessed with opening the cabinets, peeking in to see what she can get into.

Likes it when the dishwasher is open (always goes for the knives, why?)

Loves drinking out of her sippy cup.

Sleeps 11.5 hours every night. 

Doesn't mind getting slammed by the beach waves, she loves it actually.

She has bonked her head a countless number of times, cries for a bit and wants me to hold her.

Got her first bloody lip by banging it on the ottoman.

She has 7 little chompers, she likes to bite sometimes OUCH!

She looks exactly like her Daddy.

She has super blonde fine hair, wondering if it'll be curly like mine?

When you start to sing "Patty Cake", she claps her hands.

Giggles so much when other kids are smiling at her.

Loves to be on Daddy's shoulders.

When you tell her no don't touch that, she shakes her head, then smiles and touches it.

She knows when she's being naughty because she'll look at me with a grin...stinker.

Loves to swing at the park.

Grandpa & Nana J came to visit: Part 1

Grandpa and Nana J Stapley came to visit us! We loved every second. They came at the best time of the year because the weather was perfect, the gators were out, and the beach was amazing.

First things first, we went to the beach.

Mmm sand is yummy!

Showing off how amazing our sunsets are is a must. We clapped...that's normal. PS how cute is little Ree in this picture!?

Then, of course, we drove 30 minutes southeast to Everglade City and found some wild alligators down a dirt road. Awesome. We saw about 20! Scary.

My dad had to mail a postcard to my grandma from this tiny post office. Coolest dad.

Stay tuned for Part 2. I'm sure you can't wait!
