Aubrey's First Holidays

It's time to catch you all up on what I've been up to for the past few months.  Hospital pictures have really come a long way.  Here are Aubrey's:

October babies get to experience lots of great holidays shortly after arriving.  Aubrey's first major holiday (aside from Halloween) was Thanksgiving.  In keeping with family tradition, we held our celebration at my Aunt Peggy's house.  Since this was our first celebration since my aunt passed away, it was nice to have 2 new lives to celebrate (my cousin Levi had a little boy on the same day that Aubrey was born).

Shortly after Thanksgiving, Aubrey was one month old.

Then, she had her first photo shoot with Mommy and Aunt Joy.

Christmas was the next major holiday she celebrated.  She experienced her first trip to Nana's house and got to meet her cousin Dylan who surprised everyone by coming home from his naval base.  She also visited Santa Clause.  We know he was the real deal, because he knew exactly where her dress was from.  For Christmas, Aubrey received lots of great gifts including clothes, a playmat, and a pink Mustang walker.

Then it was time to celebrate a new year and Aubrey turning 2 months old.

Her 1st New Year's Kiss

I made her tutu by knotting strips of tulle around a ribbon sash.  It was so easy!  I'll never buy one.  Her monthly decals are from an Etsy shop called Month2MonthBaby.  Being a mommy is so wonderful.  The past two months have been the best of my life.  I can't wait to see what else is in store in the years to come!
