How on earth is this little lady 2.5 years old already!? Time has seriously flown by with her! She is talking up a storm, saying extra long sentences and even telling stories and there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't amaze us or make us laugh...or both! Aubs, we love you to the moon and back!
Happy 30 Months Aubrey Lynn!
Happy 30 Months Aubrey Lynn!
30 Month Highlights:
-We definitely enjoyed the summer like weather this month and are grateful for May in GA! We played in the sprinklers, played with water balloons on multiple occasions, went to several parks, and ate lots of fruit or greek yogurt Popsicles on our back porch!

-We also took advantage of the pool opening up in Tia's neighborhood towards the second half of the month. You LOVE that there is the shallow part with sprinklers, and love playing "pop it" with the pool balls.
-You love helping Mama garden and are actually a good helper! You don't however, love, getting dirt on your hands. So it was plant a seed and get dirty, then go wash your hands in the water bucket. Every single time!
-You are a little monkey and we always find you wrapping your arms and legs around our arms and legs. You love doing this around daddy's leg and have him walk you around the house!
-We got 3 new chickens to finish out the 10 or 11 that we were wanting. You love the chickens and chase them all around. We found out one was a rooster several weeks after we got him (bummer!) but any time I go to the coop you always want to come with me!
-You had your first dentist appointment and did fantastic! I'm not sure if it's because Bella was getting the same thing done on the chair next to you, or if you would have just rocked it regardless, but you were super chill, cooperative, and made their job so easy. Also they said your teeth looked fantastic so that was great! Your high light was getting a balloon, a goody bag with a new toothbrush and tooth paste, AND then getting to pick out a toy before we left.
-We had a big cucumber come in pretty early which was awesome, and we made a big deal about picking the "first fruits!" of our labor with the Lefler girls! It was no surprise Isabella was super excited to eat the cucumber, but I thought for sure you'd take one bite and not eat it again. Surprisingly, you ate 1/4 of the big thing (granted, there was ranch to dip it in, but still!) You kept saying "Mmmm, I love cucumber mama!"
-Mama and Daddy went on their Babymoon #3 while Mimi and Pops watched you girls. We were gone for 4 nights and you both did fantastic and had a blast. Mimi had fun taking pics (I think she was re-living when mama and tia were little!)
-We also did swim lessons this month, every saturday for 30 minutes. I can't say you loved them, but you did great. It probably didn't help that every time the teacher wanted us to dive you head first into the water and then scoop you up 2-3 times. You hated that part. I don't blame you. I'm not even sure this is the best way to teach you that!

-Isabella had her last day of school mid-month and you were glad! You hated dropping her off in the mornings, and I'm not sure if it was more because you wanted to be at school with her (which you did), or because you just missed her while she was gone (which you also did!). I can't believe how fast this school year went, and while I know you so badly wanted to go to school, I'm so grateful for the time I got alone with you for several hours twice a week!

Sleeping: In preparation for the new baby coming soon, we changed your room and you love it! You now have a king sized bed (yes, king sized...because we couldn't think of another place to store the giant mattress and box springs since we will no longer have a guest bedroom!). I also re-painted an old dresser and night stand white, with your request of "teal blue" drawers. I have to say, they turned out awesome!
Bedtime is around 7pm, meaning that's when we go up. We usually leave your and Bella's bedroom around 7:45 or 8 (depending on when we actually got up there, it's usually a 45 min process). You then play in bed most nights until around 9, and sleep til 7 or so.
You are napping better this month and not missing as many naps, but probably b/c Mimi and Mama have to go back in your room 30 min after we initially leave and make you close your eyes and lay still, so you will fall asleep. Otherwise you keep yourself awake by playing and then are miserable at 4:45 or 5pm. Not fun! You have been napping about 2 hours, from 1:30 til 3:30, or 2 til 4 ish.

Eating: You eat an insane amount. About 45 times a day you say "I'm hungies" and you legit eat every single time! You love cereal or oatmeal in the morning, followed by eggies/bacon/toast second breakfast. Lunch is usually left overs, or ham and cheese and toast (all deconstructed b/c you never want the sandwich whole). Dinners thankfully you will eat whatever Mama makes for dinner including Indian food, salmon, rice, any vegetable that isn't green, and you love meat (pork chops, pulled pork, chicken, steak, beef, you name it, you wolf it down!). For snacks or sides you like greek yogurt, pretzels with hummus, goldfish, apples, frozen bananas, strawberries, grapes, cheese, avacado, quinoa rice, and mimi's black beans.
