Aubrey 29 Months!

Happy 29 Months Aubrey Lynn!

29 Month Highlights:

-We went to a working farm called The Art Barn which was so much fun! It was a very overcast, windy and kinda chilly day which worked to our benefit because there were only 30 people there total, and groups of 200 regularly come through. We got to pet goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and horses. We had a hay ride, got to put on bee suits and see honey being made, paint a picture of a sheep, and the highlight for you and Isabella was getting to go on a horse back ride on a HUGE brown horse! You both loved it!

-We went out to brunch as a family several times because who likes cooking a big, yummy breakfast on a Saturday morning! There is a great little family owned place super close to our house, and it's awesome to get you and Bella a huge plate of 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, bacon, and fruit for cheap! You LOVE it!

-We worked on the pasture this month quite a bit, trying to get the shed in, the garden boxes placed and filled, and getting everything ready to get our chickens! You love going out there to explore and run around!

-We had several park days because the weather was so nice. You love being outside, and while you always ask to go on the swings, you also love chasing Bella around, climbing on anything and everything, and sliding!

-We took advantage of Mama & Aubee time and went on several "Mama dates". Most involved some sort of eating out and then a park, or walking around a new town, or running a few errands. 

 

Eating in the Burger Bus! YUM!

-You and Isabella LOVE to dress alike, and while most of that involves jammies, occasionally there are matching outfits you wear out as well.

Sleeping: You have become a joy to put to bed again! Not sure if I mentioned this before but you were getting harder and harder to put down because you wanted things exactly how you wanted them, in the order you wanted them, and expected us to read your mind. Led to quite a few tantrums which are oh so fun at the end of the day. But now we are back in a groove and we have a bedtime routine that is consistent which makes everyone happy. We go upstairs around 7 or 7:15 most nights, and we are out of your and Bella's room by 8. You usually don't fall asleep til 8:30 or 9, and sleep until 7 or 7:30 am.

You have been boycotting naps over the last month, and probably 2, sometimes 3 days of the week, you just play in your room rather than napping. I wouldn't care if you were pleasant the rest of the evening, but let's just say Angry Elf comes out many of those times. On the days you do nap, you nap hard, and usually sleep about 2 hours, from 2 until 4ish. 

Eating: You are still picky but so many days you surprise me! You still don't love anything green, but you at least will try one bite every time we serve it, and then promptly spit it out. You LOVE spicy foods which cracks us up! You drink salsa at Mexican restaurants right out of the cup! I opened a jar of Hearts of Palm today thinking you wouldn't want to try it, and not only did you try it but you ate about half of them! Favorite foods this month: still loving cereal for breakfast, eggies/toast/turkey bacon for second breakfast, and yogurt, gouda cheese, fig bars, squeezies, ham, chicken nuggets with ketchup, hamburgers, hot dogs, mac-n-cheese and pizza.
