Aubrey turned 2 on June 19th, she had a bumble bee themed birthday party the weekend of her actual birthday while we were in Indiana visiting Ryan's family.
I forgot my camera on the trip (seems to be the trend these days), so all the party pictures are on my father-in-law's camera, maybe by the time her next birthday comes around I'll be able to post them :)
She also had a mini party at my parents' house last week while we were in Atlanta visiting our friends, the Carters, who were home from Germany for the month.
Party People:
Kerri & Levi
Mason & Luke
Nana & Aubrey
Aubrey's mint chocolate chip ice cream cake
As you can see, Aubrey is bursting with excitement over her birthday cake
Blowing out the candle
Opening her present from Nana & Papa, a water table
The water table was a huge hit!
It wasn't long before all the splashing required
removal of the clothes
Splashing
Aubrey was having so much fun splashing, scooping & dumping the water she wanted to get in the water table
Turning Two Milestones:
A couple of months before her second birthday, Aubrey's vocabulary increased by leaps and bounds. She can say anything she wants to and makes 3-4 word sentences.
She loves to sing, some of her favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me (which she calls "Bible"), Jesus Loves the Little Children, This Little Light of Mine, and
the Calm & Cool Song (a Daddy original).
Aubrey is a huge help with her little brother,
bringing him diapers, wipes, bottles, toys,
or anything she thinks he needs.
She even feed Levi in the grocery cart
while we were at Publix last week :)
Aubrey and Luke are quickly becoming best friends,
they play together often, usually Aubrey doing
whatever Luke tells her to do.
For instance, this is what they did this morning
while I was uploading pictures & blogging:
I heard them say in passing
that they were going on a trip.
I saw them taking some books out of the den,
but had no idea of the magnitude of toy relocation
this "trip" required.
See why it's been a month since I last blogged?!?
The tantrums have also begun, it's always a very sad day when your sweet little baby hits the defiant,
I-want-my-way stage.
Making a mess, has become one of
Aubrey's favorite past times.
She can empty the diaper basket in 20 seconds flat.
And throw flashcards all over the kitchen floor in the time in takes me to change the baby's diaper.
Aubrey is very independent, wants to do everything on her own, if we try to help her with something she respond, "No! Aubrey do it!".
We love every bit of her fun, adventurous, messy, and independent personality!
Happy 2nd Birthday Aubrey Lynn!
