Aubry Camryn Benelli: July 2014

9 months!

I know I mentioned before about how smart Aubry is and I know I'm not just being biased: This month we taught her how to wave Bye Bye. She watched us do it a couple times and then BOOM! She waves! Like its no big deal. Like she already knew how to do that. Same thing with clapping her hands when we say "Yay". She smiled, thinking we were being funny. Then does it herself! Genius!!
On a growth note: 2 more teeth have popped through. She's getting a mouth full!

Who needs a binky when you can just suck on the chain?!

Trying to pull herself up

Aubry got pretty sick with a runny nose, coughing, throwing up...it was miserable! To keep her happy (for approx. 30 seconds) I let her pull out all the kleenex from the box.

We sold our house in March so Ryan's mom (Nana) came to help us move. We bought another house in this same area but it has more acreage. Not even sure if I have any pictures of it yet, but I'll post some as soon as I get a good one :)

I love this picture of Aubry. It is just so sweet and innocent. And her pigtails!!!

8 months!

8 months old! Time goes so fast! Aubry got her 4th tooth on Feb. 15. She FINALLY rolled over for the first time on Feb. 17. I had been waiting forever for her to do this but for some reason she just wasn't interested. I think a lot of it has to do with her being so content. Seriously, like she is the most contented baby EVER! She is very observant and likes to watch people. You can almost see the little wheels in her head spinning and thinking. I'm pretty sure she is going to be a genius :) Aubry is almost crawling though, so we won't be able to hold her back too much longer. And she gives kisses! Pretty much the sweetest thing ever!

Can you see those little toofers in there?!

7 months!

Aubry is getting so big! A few things that happened this month: She figured out how to "play games." She'll bang on the window, then throw herself back so I'd catch her and then sit her back up and she'll do it all over again. Of course, she thinks its hilariously fun and she'll laugh and laugh! Aubry started saying Ma Ma! Of course, it usually just means she wants something but I'll take what I can get :) She shakes her head to say "no". She loves playing with her feet. Aubry knows her name when we say it. She doesn't share too easily....she'll cry when you take something away that she wants. Aubry now has 3 teeth! Her 2 bottom ones came in on Jan. 2 and 6th and the first top one came in on Feb. 6.

I'm pretty sure I already posted this picture but just in case you wanted to see it again... :) Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!

It is so funny to watch a baby open presents. First of all, they totally don't get the point. And then, they are happy with the first thing you give them although its not even close to the coolest thing they got!
