"oh booooooy...."

...is aubrey's expression du jour. that and, "let's gooooo!" so cute!

i am AMAZED at how fast aubrey is changing over these past few weeks. her language skills are expanding rapidly. she mimics words and even short phrases. she is getting good at saying a "k" or hard "c" sound now. (she calls my sister kasey "kee kee" now...a big improvement over "tee tee.") and she has graduated from pointing out letters and numbers to starting to say them. if we are reading a story and she recognizes a letter, she points to it and says what the letter is.

she is also becoming quite the little runner and climber. she really is starting to become a toddler and not a baby.

it's happening so fast!!! i am trying to savor these moments of discovery.

its been very cold and snowy up here in the north country. we spent this weekend down at my parent's place. pete left for DC on saturday (he's gone for most of the week...boo) so it's just me, aubrey and the cabmeister. although i'm getting pretty good at managing the routine by myself, it is tough not having pete around. makes me realize how much of a team we are.

i've said this before, but i'll say it again...i am so thankful i'm not a single mother. don't know how they do it day after day.
