First haircut!

Today Aubree Summer had her first haircut. And when I say "first", I mean one her mama didn't attempt. Now don't freak out, I have only trimmed her bangs. Since birth this girlie's bangs have grown something fierce! I think I've had to trim them a few times by now. At any rate, I got tired of hearing certain people *ahem, Bob* say she had a mullet. So, since I was getting my haircut anyway, I asked Carolyn to take a look and maybe give Bree's hair some shape.

Carolyn didn't want to cut Aubree's hair at all. She said it was adorable as is. We did agree the bangs needed to be cut, so Aubree sat there like a big girl (on my lap of course) and let Carolyn trim it up. She was less than thrilled, but did a great job.

Whoa...

All of the sudden Aubree is into making sounds and exaggerating her expression. It's hilarious! And I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty sure she was trying to make out with me today. She kept saying "whoa, whoa, whoa", so I was imitating her. It was so much fun to her. Next thing I know (we were sitting together on the couch), she was coming at me with her mouth open. The girl is never dull, I'll give her that!

19 months

Where did the last month go? Our girl is busier than ever and keeping mommy and daddy on their toes. She is slowly learning to speak more, but at times chooses to whine and whimper. We're onto her though. She gets pretty mad at us some days, but we are asking her to use her words rather than whine and point. She's doing better at it though. Sure, there is a long way to go with her speech, but she is getting there. She's unbelievably smart....

18 month well check

Today was Aubree's 18 month well check. Our tiny girl weighed in at 20 lbs 12 oz (5th percentile) and 30 1/4" tall (20th percentile). Dr Shamy said although Bree's weight went down (she was only 20 lbs 2 oz at her 15 month exam), she wasn't worried since her height went up a bit. Overall Bree is a very healthy girl. Getting too big for my liking, but a smart, wonderful, amazing miracle nonetheless.
