Aubrey is 5 months old!

I am posting this terribly late, but better late than never! I went to add another post and I realized that I saved this and never actually posted it, so here it is...As a side note, my blogging break was unintended...I awoke on Thursday, January 13th (day 4 of our Bama snow) to terrible stomach pain that continued to worsen throughout the day. At 3:30pm, I realized the doc's office was about the close, so I'd better make a decision...doc or ER....Off to the doc I went and I even drove myself. He admitted me to hospital, and by 8pm, I was in surgery having my appendix out! I hate hospital beds, so I was outta there by 11 the next morning, and that's pretty much the rest of the story!

Aubrey is a fun five month old now! She is also about to be in her own room!!! That should be good for all of us. Thus far, she has had her baby set-up in our room, which has been convenient, but we are late tv watchers, so that is not really the best for her. Annaleigh will be moving upstairs and Aubrey will have her old room next to Alden.

Aubrey also started school this month! Her first week was fabulous and we're all happy to be somewhat on a schedule again. I also started back to school and I am exhausted. We are expecting snow and ice here tonight, so maybe I'll be out of school tomorrow and I will get an extra break. That is what we are expecting anyway...

Here is Aubrey on the first day of school, January 4, 2011.

This is Aubrey the day she turned 5 months old. These are 9 month size outfits! She is going to be very tall, I think.

What an angel!

This month for Aubrey has only brought about more smiling and happiness with this sweet baby. She is becoming more independent in her exersaucer, and we even had to raise it up a notch to accommodate her extra-long legs! She loves to grab and hold onto anything she can get her hands on...including her sister's hair. She is still nursing exclusively and I have been able to continue to nurse and pump even after I went back to school, which is a blessing. I don't know how long my supply will last like this, but I'll take whatever I can get. Right now, we are just enjoying life as it is and trying to get back in the swing of things!
