Mother's Day

It was so exciting to realize I have a holiday celebrating me! I am so grateful for Aubriella and am so lucky to be her mommy!

I got to admit, it is a hard balance deciding how much the day is now about me , and how much it is still about my mom (and Jose's mom!). It wasn't without a lot of thought (and a little guilt) that I decided to spend the afternoon how I wanted. Now that we are pastors (just realized I haven't blogged about that yet!), we have to close up the church once a month so by the time we left church all I wanted to do was go home. After a quick stop at Trader Joes to pick up all the yummy things I've been wanting to try we had a great lunch at home and rested!

Later we went to my mom's house, and then Jose's mom came to our house!

Kisses!

Most of the time when I give Aubri a kiss I say "kiss" before I do it. I kind of think she may be starting to know what that means! Whether or not she understands, I still love kissing her soft little cheeks and letting her slobber back!

Future football fan?

This update is especially for Laurie Lee!

Aubriella has TONS of football and Charger outfits since her daddy is such a huge fan. I don't mind her being a football fan, but she has to look girly while doing it!

Look how tiny she was 13 weeks ago! This was on Superbowl Sunday.

Couch Potato

Here is another couch picture. I had to post it because it is currently my favorite picture EVER (at least until the next photo shoot!).
Seriously, I have the cutest kid in the universe. Let's not argue that.

I love my Nana!

A few weeks ago Aubriella began to cry when held by anyone but me! She even tried crying with her Daddy, but that didn't last long. Even if her Nana or Papa held her she would scream until handed to me! Babies usually don't do that until at least 6 months-- what can I say, she's advanced!

I was getting worried that her little stage wouldn't end, and Jose and I really wanted to be able to have my mom babysit. It was so sad to see how worked up she got with anyone but us! Finally, in the last week she has come around! It took her a little while to warm up, but she now has a handful of people she likes!

Yesterday my mom came over while Aubri and I were still in bed. I thought a burglar was making me breakfast!

All day Aubriella was cry free with Nana, and my mom even put her down for naps! Since I was finally convinced Aubri would be fine without me, Jose and I went on our first date baby free! We were gone less than two hours but we were able to go watch Date Night. I didn't even worry! I came home to a happy baby who had some crazy hair from Nana and Uncle Jesse playing with it!

Just want to eat her up!

I can't tell you how many times people have told me Aubriella is "so yummy" or "I just want to eat her up!" I'm always scared people will really take a bite out of her! :-)


I love being stopped and told how beautiful Aubri is! Yesterday my mom and I went to 2 stores and 7 people stopped me to comment on what a cute baby she was!


So, as a very biased mother, I must share with you some beautiful pictures of my baby.

I'm obsessed

I don't know why, but I love seeing Aubriella sitting up on the couch! I propped her up a few weeks ago and she loved it! Now it is almost a daily occurence that I prop her up and snap her picture! It may be the equivalent of my weekly pregnancy shots.
