milia is 7 months

milia just turned 7 months and is such a sweet natured little girl.

she loves...
...her family and is starting to become more of a mommy's girl much to her daddy's dismay
...to eat: her favorites are rice cereal, sweet potato, and avocado. she hates fruit. she has 2 teeth.
...to sit up and play with her toys.
...to give mommy kisses with an open mouth.
...watching t.v. especially dinosaur train like her sister. she giggles when she watches it.
...to put everything in her mouth.
...to suck on all of aubren's toys which aubs quickly puts a stop too.
...to be tickled on her ribs.
...her exersaucer.
...for her daddy to read her books.
...to nurse and refuses to take a bottle.
...to be thrown up in the air.
...to watch big sister and tolerates her roughness like a champ.

big sister + little sister = love

aubren's christmas dress

my dad and mom bought this beautiful christmas dress for aubren. she was not excited about it when they told her it was red and black but she quickly changed her mind when she saw it! she immediately fell in love with the dress and is so proud to wear it. thanks papa and jj!

White Christmas

Christmas begun on Christmas Eve when we celebrated as a family. Aubren loved all of her gifts, especially her sleeping beauty dress and all her new puzzles. Poor milia only got a teether book but of course she didn't care!


we traveled to arlington later in the day and enjoyed driving in the snow. it continued to snow all day and into the evening. it was beautiful! it was so fun to have a white christmas and to watch aubren enjoy the snow with her cousins. even though she couldn't make a snowman she was content to make her own snow angel and throw some snow balls.



we spent early christmas morning with my family. the girls woke to santa and his jolly ho, ho, ho. aubren was pretty surprised to come around the corner and see the bike santa brought her. her favorite toys though were the little princess dolls that papa and jj gave her! milia loved her new sippy cup.


mid morning we drove over to carleigh's (trey's sister) house and spent the day with family. aubren always has so much fun playing with her cousins and even little milia and reagan enjoyed each other! and of course we couldn't end the day without a family photo.

such a sweet reminder of how much i love my precious girls!
