My little chunky monkey

Aubrey had her 2 month check up and shots at the doctor today. She is so healthy that a couple sitting at the table next to us at Chilis last night said "Look at that healthy baby - she must be atleast 6 months old". She is above the 95th percentile in all categories! 14 lb 13oz and 24 inches long. Since she is eating so well (6 to 8oz every 3 to 4 hours), he suggested we start trying to feed her cereal with a spoon. She has been taking cereal in her last bottle every night for over a month, but if we get her on the spoon she can start fruits and vegetables. So we had our first go at the high chair and the spoon tonight. Its going to take a few times, but she seemed to like the chair all right. And as a side note, I love it when she smiles. It is toooooo cute!

2 months and growing...

Aubrey reached her 2 month milestone on Monday. She has had many life experiences in the past few weeks. Some people go their whole life without evacuating a hurricane. Aubrey has evacuated twice in the first two months of her life. Gustav and Ike have made her wonder where her home is. The hardest part was that Mom had to stay at Citgo for Hurricane Ike while Dad and Aubrey went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Atkins. We are all back together now and praying that the last month and a half of hurricane season is quiet.

Aubrey is getting ready for deer season in the picture below. Next week we will have our 2 month check up with the pediatrician and will post the updates. Lots of love!

Grandparents Across America Tour

We left for our Grandparents across America tour last week before I went back to work. Little did we know that it would turn into Hurricane Gustav Evacuation. Aubrey had a full of week of being shown off by all of her Grandparents from Ennis, Texas to Simsboro, Louisiana. She even got to meet her Great Grandma Opal. We had many milestones like taking a bath in the sink, Papa Keith teaching me to scoot, real smiles (not gas related), and surviving evacuation traffic.
