10 Months Old!

I'm a little late with my 10 month post but here it is. Aubrey is officially almost 1 year old and he is once again changing so much. He's been crawling and cruising along the furniture. He really seems to like to pull up and walk along things right now. He's pretty much into whatever he wants to try and get into. YIKES! So, we do the best we can to stay a step ahead of him. He's still babbling and has learned how to blow and spit. He's eating many finger foods and will try most of what we offer him now. His favorites this week have been peas and pears. When he is done eating, he's real good at throwing his food off his tray and looking at it. :-) He's been to the park to swing with his grandma and we've been taking more walks outside now that it's finally cooling off. He also went to his first Texans game....pre-season, this month. Little did we know he was developing an ear infection, so it was a short game for us. We will try again this Sunday at the Texans opening day game. Hope it goes better than the last one.

Here are a few pictures of his favorite thing to get into. Apparently I didn't hide it in a good enough spot. He's just too quick to figure us out!

Snack Time!

Here's a video of Aubrey having a snack. Please ignore my high pitched "mommy" voice and the television in the background. :-)

Our busy weekend!

Driving Sadie crazy!

Hanging out with his favorite Aunt Kerri.

He's so wiggly these days it's hard to get him to pose for a picture.

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!

Get Together in Alvin, TX

Aubrey got to spend some time with his Grandma and Grandpa Draper, aunts and uncles and cousins a few weekends ago. We had a great time. Our family photographer, Delia Draper, managed to get some great pictures. Here are a few.....
