Week 10 This Girl can eat

Bath time!!!

This week was filled with lots of visits. In addition to the walks Laura takes Aubrey on with her friends and their kids, Aunt Allison came over on Friday for dinner. While Henry was at a makeup swim lesson, Allison arrived and cared for Aubrey while Reggie cooked for everyone. It is SOOOO nice when you can make a dinner uninterupted by the need to change diapers, rock the baby, etc. :)

On Saturday we hit up brunch with Aunt Jen and her friend Sara (Henry's old flame). Aubrey was very well mannered, especially considering her big brother kept sticking his face in front of hers and singing and messing with her Wub-a-nub! Later that evening, Laura took Aubs to an engagement party at her friend Mary's house. From the reports I received, Aubs was great, and all the hens were able to get their "baby fix" covered off!

While Laura was at the party, Papa Rick came up to attend a Royals game with Reggie on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, he didn't get a lot of time with the little lady due to the party, but he definitely got in some quality time Sunday before the game (when Henry wasn't forcing him to race or swing).

 



Those shots hurt so bad she made a dirty diaper!

 This week also brought Aubrey's 2-month checkup. As expected, our little girl is certainly growing. Her 2-month stats are: length- 23 inches,  weight- 10lbs 15oz.  That's a 3 pound weight gain since her last appointment at 2-weeks. Keep it up!!! Of course, the 2-month appointment means a round of shots for our little girl. Henry didn't seem to mind them too much. His sister was not the same. We definitely heard a type of cry out of Aubrey that we have never heard before! Poor girl, it took her about 5 minutes after the shot to calm down. You know, it is funny how much baby-related stuff you just forget after your first kid. I found myself asking some of the same questions that we did back in 2010 after Henry was born. For instance, we couldn't remember when it is appropriate to start using sunscreen on her, how frequently a 2-month old should be bathed, or how long it should take for her to lose her "Uncle Sal" shoulder hair!

Can we ever say 'no' to this face?



Henry loves holding "his baby"





Week 9 - Getting 'cultured'

Deep down, Aubrey really does like this!






Friday morning selfie!



This week we started Henry in a 2-week swimming lesson program, so Aubrey was able to soak up a lot of rays by the pool for 30 minutes each night this week (kidding-she was shaded the whole time!). As expected, she was an angel each day. This kid just loves being outside! What she does not love (along with her parents) is her brother messing his swim diaper and then coming up and giving kisses!



Over the weekend, the whole family hit up the Prairie Village art fair and for lunch. Much like with Henry, we want to ensure that Aubrey grows up able to appreciate the finer things in life :) One cool thing we were able to do at the fair is make a painted tile of Aubrey's foot. And best of all, it was free!!!




Developmentally, Aubrey is starting to really take to the mobile in her crib, and ceiling fans in general. If it calms that little girl for 20 minutes so we can get stuff done, I am all for it! We have her two month checkup next week, so updated stats to follow. She seems to be growing at a very good pace. How else can you explain her 'trucker belches'?
