DJ Aubrey, The Small DJ

First walking steps

Here are some of the first steps that Aubrey took across our living room. She was very excited, but it did take some coaxing with the "Packer Ball" to get her back to mom.

Giggle Giggle Ha Ha

Here is the funny giggly video of Aubrey being amused by Justyna with the ball. I think that the ear tubes have helped with her happiness and demeanor even more. It was the best decision we made. No ear infections and an even happier kid!

Our Sweet Pea's First Halloween

Right after Aubrey's three month birthday, we took some Halloween pictures. We were so excited for our first holiday, we couldn't decide which costume to use. Of course they both turned out super cute. I did a little photo shop magic so that we could send out the pictures above. We had a great time doing the photos, and I think Aubrey did too. Happy first Halloween. See you next year!

One more video

Because she is just so cute!!

Aubrey will be a star

A little bit of an interlude from the first year recap. Due to a work project, someone needed some video of Aubrey. So we decided to upload some Aubrey video to the huge site youtube.com. Below are the links for the first two videos. You can say that you knew her when. Click once to activate the video, then press the play button :)

Aubrey's Second Month, but first babysitters!

August came and had more firsts. Kelly and I got our first break when my aunt and uncle came to town and babysat Aubrey so we could go see the Twins play. I know, I know, not the most romantic first date night after the baby, but we had tickets and it got us out of the house. We were most proud of ourselves for not calling during the game to check on Uncle Jim and Aunt San. For Labor Day, we went to Milwaukee to meet more Hurdas and Barnetts. The car trip started out very slowly. Every 30 minutes we had to stop for food, bathroom, shopping and other breaks. After that it was smooth sailing, so a 6 hour trip became an 8 hour ordeal. It was the first time Great Grandma Florence (GG Ma) got to meet Aubrey. Same thing for my younger brother, Uncle Ryan. We had a nice open house and lots of more distant relatives came, including a cousin, Corwin Hurda. We had a great time and Aubrey was very tired by the end of the day.
