My baby's not a baby anymore...

Well, I have been keeping Aubree and myself very busy while Manuel is working…. We run MANY errands and have even been to Medieval Times. Which she absolutely LOVED! We were invited by my friend Shannon & her daughter Ella, who is going to be two in August, so that makes the girls only about 7 months apart. Both girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Medieval Times was the first time that Aubree wasn’t glued to my leg and actually didn’t want to come with me. I am still not quite sure how I felt about that, but I am glad that she was SO excited about the show. I can’t wait to take her back again. She even at the food! YAY!

Aubree just had her 18 month check up and she is perfect! She is right smack in the middle- 32 inches long and 25 lbs 7 oz. The Dr said to keep doing whatever I’m doing. I have to admit that I was a little worried because Aubree doesn’t really drink milk. I give her a glass at every meal, but she usually refuses and asks for water. Go figure. The Dr checked her belly twice (I’m not quite sure why) and everything is good. She had two shots in her arms! My poor baby girl! As soon as we left the Dr’s office she ripped off her Band-Aids though. Lol. And to make it all better she got a bubble machine. It was only 5 bucks and she LOVES it. Luckily the next appointment will be 6 months from here. Oh & the best part is that she took a 3 hour nap! 3 hours! That was one of the best naps I have had in a VERY long time. I can’t believe that Aubree is already a year and a half! My baby is so NOT a baby anymore…. I can’t handle it.

Other than that I have been suffering from major migraines, but try to refuse to let them bring me down. When Mommy gets sick, it doesn’t mean the duties or responsibilities stop. They can’t for me. With Manuel working 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week, I’m the only one who Aubree can rely on. A Mom’s gotta do what a Mom’s gotta do.

I’m still contemplating school. My mom has offered to watch Aubree while I take classes but I’m kind of in a rut. I mean, what the point of getting a teaching degree right now if there are NO availabilities???
