Our funny little girl

Last week for Brian's birthday, we went on a family hunting outing.  Really we went hiking in moose country with a gun.  We didn't see any moose, but we saw some tracks and other signs of moose.  It was a beautiful autumn day.  
Aubrey is getting into more and more every day.  She was very busy while I was making a meal for some friends.


Aubrey makes me laugh every day.  She is so funny.   We were given a little girl's snow suit (that should fit in about 2 years!)  Aubrey wanted to put it on when she saw it.  She was like a big marshmellow.  .  . and she liked it!  "Ralphie, I can't get up." She seems to have a thing for shoes.  She is always bringing me her shoes and insisting that I put them on her little feet.  Even in jammies she wants to wear shoes too!
We have had a week with Brian out of town, and he is due home tomorrow.  We can't wait.  Aubrey misses her daddy.  We look at his picture in Aubrey's "Who Loves Baby" book and she kisses him and gives him cuddles.  She talks on the phone to him and even gives the phone kisses when he is on the other end.  She is still not quite walking.  She does pretty well as long as she can hold at least one hand.  She takes 1 or 2 steps on her own.  Hopefully Daddy doesn't miss her first real steps!  She's so close.

I so enjoy watching Aubrey grow and change in all the pictures you post. What a precious child! Hopefully we can see ya'll during you next visit to Houston.
Hugs to all 3 of you---
