Blogging Break...Over

Wow has December been busy! Kyle had his vacation this month so we were a little busy, well that's an understatment. We did 3 1/2 weeks away from our house visiting Kyle's family in Texas and then headed to Illinois to spend time with my fam. We had a great time and was sad when it was over but we are thankful for all the time we were able to spend. We are finally back in our routine here in Tennessee and won't be long until we pack up again for Kyle's rotation in Oklahoma. I am working on getting all of our Christmas pictures online but until then here's at least a cute video of Aubrey doing her new favorite thing, singing and saying Ba,Ba, Ba. She got a piano with a microphone from Santa and she already loves singing.

Aubrey has had A LOT of things happening since we've been gone. She did her first 10 hr. driving trip and did great sleeping most of the time. She got her first tooth and then a week later got her second! She said what I consider to be her first word-ho, ho, ho (she would mimmick us when we said ho ho ho talking about Santa). She also says hi and waves. She now says ba, ba, ba too as you can hear in this video. She's eating a lot more solids- carrots, bananas, pears, baby yogurt, squash and she had her first pasta the other day cooked by Colleen. She had her first B-town girls play date. She went to her first professional hockey game. She threw her first fit when she had a toy taken away from her. She is rolling all over the place and can usually get to where she wants to go. She is changing so much and seems like a little person now. She reaches out for people she wants and holds onto people if she doesn't want to go somewhere. I can't believe how much she has changed in just a few weeks. We will never go this long again without blogging because I feel I have missed a whole month of things going on. At the same time it was a very much needed break from the computer to just spend time with Kyle and with family. A break from e-mail, facebook, blogging, and just spending time on the internet has been good. I will do a de-tox every once in a while but not again this long from the blog. Glad we're back and I'll get our pictures on soon.
