Life continues to only go faster and faster over here. Aubyn is growing just as fast!!!! What a little lady!
We are officially potty trained and have been for a while. She was officially trained during September. what a relief. I really was not ready for her to be trained, but when a girl wants to go on the potty you can't say NO :). She basically trained herself with of course some reinforcement at times, but she did great. It is so crazy to leave the house without a diaper bag or even a little bag with extra cloths in it. All I have to worry about is that we have coats and shoes on. So crazy. You think that day seems far away while your packing a diaper bag every time to go away, but now I just can't believe how big of girl she is.
Aubyn continues to be our fun loving, wild, and crazy girl. She is talking non-stop. She catches on to EVERYTHING. She looks up to Trey and wants to play with him all the time. She LOVES when Trey plays babies with her. I will catch them in Trey's room with blankets on the floor. Trey is taking care of his stuffed gorilla and puppy and Aubyn is of course taking care of her babies. He favorite baby continues to be "Lydia." She carries her in an infant baby car seat like we do our real babies, except it's just her size. Everywhere we go Lydia needs to come in the car seat. To church, grocery store, grandma's. At least I have her talked into leaving Lydia in the van! BUT we still have to take her purse in! Still her favorite thing in the whole world is her purse and all her nick nacks in it. Books, cell phone, baby blanket, pipe, bottle and anything a baby may need. She really is a good little mommy. She always has everything a baby may need in her purse!
With the Christmas season approaching we put up our tree the other night. Aubyn had so much fun making the tree beautiful with me! She LOVED finding her ordinments and hanging them on the tree. Now it is great fun when we have to go away that SHE gets to shut the lights off on the tree. I love having a 2 year old around to climb into those little places, specially when my belly is growing bigger everyday (23 weeks along and counting down everyday!). She also is starting to love "Jingle Bells" of course. She hears Christmas songs on the radio and starts to sing her own version of them which of course is very amusing It starts with Christmas and ends up about her dolls or daddy or something totally unrelated.
Aubyn also is starting to get into the girly stuff. She loves getting new bows, earings, or necklace. In fact, she just informed me she wants a watch just like mine for her "burfday (bithday). She always wants everything for her "burfday." She doesn't like when we have to put a pony tail in though, "just a bow mom, just a bow." she will say. She loves putting on my lipstick while i'm doing my make-up. It has been fun to see her first start with lip gloss all over her chin and lips to now mostly just on her lips. She would love to put on more than clear lip gloss but that will NOT happen until she's 18!!! :). She loves to sit on the counter in the bathroom and ask me, "why you put that on your face mom? why you put that on your eyes mom? why you put that there, mom?" She watches every detail of everything!
She also continues to love to color. She can stay in the lines pertty well already! I am amazed at how well she does. She really does look at detail. She always has from very young. She does not miss a beat and she makes sure her mom does not either. When we go away she always makes sure I have my purse, or a snack along for her, or if I need to clean something. I hope this eye continues and she will LOVE to keep her room clean as she gets older. HA.HA.
She also loves singing. Her favorite song before bed is Wheels on the Bus. We have to sing a little different version. We sing about each one of our family members. Jason on the bus says "eat my cows." Robbi on the bus says, "let's go shopping." Kenna on the bus says, "Lets play i-pod." Dyson on the bus says," let's play ball." Breslyn on the bus says, "lets play dolls." Grandma Myrna on the bus says "I love you." Grandpa Goerge says, "lets check pigs." Grandpa Bob says "We fix your panes." Grandma Lori says, "I love you too." Daddy says "lets go to work" Trey says, "lets go to school." Aubyn says, "Honk honk honk." Mommy says, "shhhh, shhh, shhh." Chad says," I tickle you!" And we just recently added our new baby on the bus says "waa, waa, waa." We have lots of people on our bus and we thank God for all these same people every night! She also is starting to request "Thy word" "BIBLE", and of course she knows how to sing "Jesus Loves Me."
A couple months ago we got two full size cats from a friend of Toby's. We named them Mugs and Hunter. Hunter is Trey's cat and Mugs Aubyn's. It is fun to see how Aubyn interacts with the cats. She loves to feed them, pet them and play with them. Everyday for an hour since we got them she asks to get her coat and boats on so she can go play with the cats in the garage. It is fun to hide behind the door and watch her secretly. She just sits and lets them rub against her. Talks to them in a soft nice voice. Then she carries them all over creation. (poor cats). It's amazing how they just sit there and let her do whatever to them. She has gotten scratched, but for the most part they love her as much as she loves them.
Technology....Wow have these kids just blown me out of the water with their abilities. Aubyn loves to steal my phone form me and find my photos and page through them. It is amazing that she can find how to get them and then look through them. Toby also just recently got an i-pad and Aubyn knows how to get to Netflix and watch a pony movie or Dora movie. She also knows how to play several games. She does this puzzle game where you match the pieces to the empty spot and she does great! She could play on this thing all evening if we would let her. "Daddy, may I play on your i-pad." This is what she says the minute Toby walks through the door...haha. feel the love huh!
A little memory I have to throw in this blog is Aubyn just recently got new tennis shoes because her feet are growing like crazy. She is already in a size 8! We put her new tennis shoes on and she stood up and said, "There mom, NOW I can go to school like Trey!" Oh, I laughed and smiled. The minute Trey got on the bus for school this year she wanted to go too. Everyday Trey gets on the bus she says, "I want to ride the bus and go to school like Trey." I really think she thought with her new tennis shoes she was going to go to school now. It was sooooo cute and broke my little heart, BUT i'm very glad she is still at home with me! No need for my kids getting bigger faster than they already do!
My favorite time with Aubyn is in the morning when she crawls into my bed and snuggles with me. She HAS to have her head on the same pillow as me and has to be right next to my face. She sometimes rubs my hair or my arm. She gives me kisses all over my face and thinks this is SO FUNNY. I remember when Trey was little and would come snuggle in my bed in the morning too. He now is more interested in morning cartoons than to snuggle with his mom, but occasionally he too will come and we all 3 snuggle together. These are my most Favorite times. I made Trey promise that no matter how big he gets he will always snuggle with him mom every now and then. Trey agreed of course...my loving little boy! I know I will make Aubyn make this promise when she gets a bit bigger too!!!
