9 Months!

Standing up, my new favorite thing to do!


Big Smile with mom!

I still fit in the bumbo chair!



Well, here we are at 9 months old already. So many changes this month! Aubrey spent his first full week at his Grandma and Grandpa Saunders in July and did really well. He slept in his pack and play, played with his grandpa and went to Target with his grandma. They said they all had a good time! :-)


Aubrey's new big skill is pulling up to his knees and to stand. He enjoys standing up and scooting and crawling everywhere. He no longer stays in one place, but is everywhere. We officially have to babyproof!!


He is trying finger foods and learning to drink from a cup. He still takes two naps and sleeps well at night, rarely waking up, although we still have some of those nights. This month he also said "dada!" when Jody walked into the room. We aren't sure if it's a word just yet, but it certainly seems like it. I work on "mama" alot with him but we haven't heard that word yet....someday soon, hopefully. He turns his head when we say his name and stops when he's told "no" although he smiles at us, so we aren't sure if he really understands what it means.


There haven't been any changes with his feet this month. We still put his corrective shoes on at night and we'll have another visit with Texas Children's Hospital in September. He does put up a bit of a fight when we put them on at night, I've resorted to putting on his shoes first and then getting his pj's on later in the evening. I completely understand why there is a strap on the changing pad now! He is all over the place. He likes to get himself turned over, get up on his knees and pull up on the changing table!! Wow!! He's a busy boy!

Happy 4th of July and 8 Months Update.

We are hoping that everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend. We were pretty busy. Aubrey had his first trip to Galveston and seemed to enjoy the beach, water and waves. We only spent about an hour outside on the beach cause it was pretty hot. We had a great time visiting with friends.




Aubrey is officially 8 months old today! I can't believe it...I'm sure I say that every month though. He's doing new things like rocking back and forth on all fours....mabye thinking about crawling. He's still trying new finger foods slowly. He makes a funny face with any new flavor/texture. He likes the Wagon Wheels from Gerber right now. He seems like he's gained more weight these last few months, but I don't have a specific weight for him. We'll get that at his 9 month check up. He had another ear infection this past month but has seemed to recover fine. He sleeps most nights from about 7-7. He smiles, laughs, babbles, bangs objects, scoots, whines, puts things in his mouth, sits up and is just too cute.


Here are a few pictures of him from his 8th month!
