I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from The Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth-Psalms 121:1-2





When it all began...

Life on a red dirt road began for Martin on October 17, 1980, the day he was born. For me it began on July 17, 2004, the day we were married. Although it's a bit dusty, it's full of blessings.

The Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday to Aubrey

Stats:
18.5, 29.5 inches long
Diapers: size 3 (finally!)
Clothes:9-12 months
hair: getting a little thicker

Teeth: I now have 3 poking through on the top!! That make 5 in all. 

New tricks:
walking backwards, I think it's so funny
throwing fits (yeah, Mama and Daddy do not find this very funny)

Likes:
Going outside! Even if it's freezing cold!
Bath time
The Christmas Tree

Dislikes:

Baby food, give me the real stuff
Birthday cake! Twice I was offered my very own tiny birthday cake and both times I didn't really want it!
Now for the fun stuff because you know I had a party!


I had a "Cute as a Button" cake and cupcakes




I didn't really like it.
I got a chair "Just my Size" from Mama and Daddy
I got a new Four-wheeler from Uncle Calvin 
I learned real fast where the "go" button was!


And lots of friends came to celebrate!




Happy Birtday Sweet Baby Girl!

Happy Turkey Day!

A turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble wobble,
And all he knows is just one word,
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Gobble, Gobble!

I've almost made it: 11 months

I've almost made it! One more month before the big #1!

Stats: 17 pounds, 28 1/2 inches
Teeth: Finally a new tooth is coming in on the top
Clothing size: 9 months or 6-12 months
Diapers: size 2
Hair: duck tales

New words:

Papaw ("pa-pa")
More (ma-ma),  more sounds just like "Mama" but means something totally different

Likes:
Splashing in the bath tub


Hugging my friends


Using Sadie as a jungle gym

She's my "bestest" friend 
In fact, I love her so much that I share all my food with her. 
Between the all the Milkbones, puffs, cheerios, and food I throw off my high-chair for her, Sadie-girl is going to gain alot of weight! Hey, I'm learning to share right?  I kept feeding her so many Milkbones that Mama finally moved them up high :(



Sitting in my Bumbo
Yup, I don't need that thing but it sure is fun to sit in.  

Blowing kisses, what some people would call "indian" noises


Pushing buttons, especially on the satelite and the fax machine.  In fact, Mama and Daddy had to buy a new fax machine because I stripped the gears on the old one by pulling the paper out. 

Playing Patty-Cake


Going outside in my first camo jacket


Touching the camera... I make it hard for Mama to get good pictures.



Dislikes:
Getting my diaper changed
The nose sucker (who likes getting something shoved up their nose?)
Not getting to go outside when someone else does, I bawl and squawl at the door when they don't take me.

Not getting to play with something I want like picture frames, the remote control, christmas decorations,etc.



I get really mad when you take it away!


You're almost there sweet Aubrey Page.  One more month to go before the big #1-Love Mama
