What's new with Aubrey?

Aubrey is now 6 months old. She is a beefy 20.8 lbs. We'll see if she starts to slow down in her growth because this is the time that Hailey started to slow down and averaged out. She started sitting a couple weeks ago and that is always a nice stage. But as you can see she has many cute rolls and even some cottage cheese on her thighs, ha ha. Charlie likes to joke that we bought her a swimsuit with a skirt to hide her thighs.
We finally started her on some other foods. She was excited to try new food but she already seems bored with the cereal so I need to stock up on other foods like veggies and fruits.
She also took up driving and took to it really fast. She usually always has one hand on the wheel and the other on the stick shift.
She also enjoys foot eating. She constantly wants something in her mouth and when she doesn't have something readily available her foot will do just fine.

As some of you know Charlie is overworked currently at his job (in fact it is a Saturday and he is at work today) so Aubrey likes to help him out to lighten the load.

She continues to be a joy to our family. People always comment on how smiley she is and it is true. It's interesting to see how different Hailey and Aubrey are as babies. Hailey was always observant and serious and Aubrey is always a busy body and smiley. I love both of their personalities.

Well from the first picture I would say you have a future sumo wrestler on your hands. Ha Ha This is the stage where they do start to slow down. I love her smiles. They always bring a big smile to my face.

I love baby rolls. Unfortunately my kids never took to them. She's so cute and smiley and happy. I think it's great that you're posting so often, I like to see your cute family and how much fun you all have.
