Day 15

Aubrey's first trip to the Zoo!

What a FANTASTIC day!

Day 14

I love my daughter's smile...

because it lights up her eyes

Day 13

My Pixie Girl in Bubbles

Day 12

A Very Special Day!!

Aubrey traded in her crib (in Momma & Daddy's room) for a Big Girl bed in her very own room (it's turned around to help her feel safe - she kept falling out when the foot of the bed was just hangin out in the middle of the room).

And in other news, Daddy FINALLY received his Philadelphia Eagles Leather Dream Seat - which he won playing Fantasy Baseball! But Aubrey took the first test drive while Daddy was at work. :o)

Day 11

Aubrey enjoying the grass on a springlike day!

Not a great pic, but wanted to post it because Aubrey has taken to doing everything on tippey toe lately, LOL!

Day 9

Playing catch up!

Daddy reads Aubrey a story

Day 8

Okay, so I went Texture Crazy!

Thought you should all meet my beloved doggies:

This is Brownie Brown!

And this is Minnie Minn!

This is an uninvited guest - but I was very impressed by the detail my camera picked up of both the ant and the carpeting:

And I have absolutely no idea what this is called, but Aubrey got one as a birthday party favor and it made for great macro practice:

And this is my first attempt at a

"Guess what it is!"

And I was easy on ya!!

Day 7

ONE WEEK DOWN - 51 TO GO!

This would definitely qualify as texture...

Aubrey broke out in hives tonight

as a reaction to the virus she's been fighting:

Day 6

Aubrey explores nature on a beautiful spring day

Day 4

My Baby Girl is red from her cheeks to her little toes with a fever. She threw up for the very first time at 5am the next morning. Thankfully she's now feeling MUCH better!!

Day 3

After a long 6 day trip away, Aubrey and I pick her Daddy up from the airport and stop to have some breakfast. I love the dim morning light coming in the restaurant window and even though it's the chairs that are in crisp focus, I love that, because it gives me a feeling of nostalgia when I look at her soft face, and see her playing with her Daddy's hands.

Day 2

Okay - trying some texture now!

Day 1

The Bradford Pear trees are a-bloomin' here in Charlotte! While the two in our yard could be considered the underachievers of the neighborhood, I still think they are beautiful! Here is a little closeup.
