Let me catch you up to date!
October 13th, was Manuel & my FIRST wedding anniversary. We went to the Orange Hill Restaraunt. The food was so delicious! & the view! Oh my goodness, it was AMAZING! It was freezing outside, even by the fire pits. The wind was blowing so I could hardly feel the heat from the fire. Luckily Manuel wore his suit so I was able to wear his jacket while he froze :] Such a great husband! All in all we had a great time!
Toward the end of October we put Aubree in a family daycare center with her cousin Dylan. She has loved it from day 1. We are so grateful that she is able to spend every day with family and she seems truly happy. She never cries when I drop her off. She just reaches out for Rosie and waves "bye-bye" to me. :] I will admit that I was a little sad at first that she didn't shed any tears, but I soon realized that it just means she is super happy to be around other kids on a daily basis. It has truly helped her grow and learn too! Aubree is such a chatty Cathy! All she does is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk! She says "Mom", "Dada", "Boo", "Ball", "Zack"- Rosie's dog, "Papa", "Baba", "Yes", "No" and ofcourse, A LOT of gibberish. Oh I forgot to mention that she also has 5 teeth now and are working on a few more, that we can see anyways. :]
Halloween was a lot of fun. Manuel and I went to a Halloween party at his brother's house the Friday before. I was the darker version of Alice from Alice and Wonderland and Manuel was a zombie! He was so scary looking! We spent Halloween night with my mom, Hannah, Simon, Ruth & Dylan. Aubree only made it about 2 streets of trick-or-treating before we went home, but it was fun all the same!
Wednesday, November 26th - Aubree's 10 month birthday - She took her first few steps all by herself! It is the cutest thing ever! Everyday she keeps taking a few more steps. It's so funny how she tries to take off running before she actually gets her balance. She is trying to climb up the stairs now too! I think it's time for Manuel and I to buy a few more baby gates! :]
This past Thanksgiving, unfortunately we weren't able to spend it with my family down in San Felipe, but we did end up going to Manuel's brothers house. There was food for days. :] We definitely stuffed ourselves. I know my Papa says that you can't stuff yourself, only turkeys get stuffed, but we definitely were stuffed as full as the Thanksgiving turkey! :]
On Friday, we were brave and went shopping! We didn't leave the house until around 9am, but suprisingly the crowds weren't that bad. We first went to Carter's at the Long Beach Town Center, then to Walmart, Cerritos Mall and Babies R Us. The longest wait we had was probably the 15 minutes it took us to get into the Disney Store at Cerritos mall. I have to say that Manuel and Aubree were definitely troopers :]
We are now in December and getting ready for Christmas. Manuel put up our tree last night and started to decorate the front yard. :] It's my favorite time of the year! I can't wait to take Aubree to Disneyland to see the "snow" and all the characters! In the midst of getting ready for Christmas, we have Manuel's birthday coming up on the 10th! He is going to be 26 this year! :]
The next few months are going to be a whirlwind of activities for us, but we are more than excited! We will keep you updated with blogs and pictures!
