Brad, Allyson, and Aubrey: Our Family Blog: It's Party Time and Potty Time

Aubrey's 2nd birthday party was a lot of fun. We had lots of friends and family over and Aubrey got a lot of nice gifts. Just one more reason why we need to get a bigger house. We did a dual party with Jaden and the theme was Dora and Diego. All the kids had a blast in the pool and slip-n-slide. Brad cooked up burgers and dogs on the grill and I made the fixins. It was a wonderfully sunny day and Aubrey had a blast.

We had Aubrey's 2 yr well child visit today and she is 32 pounds and 3 ft tall....96th percentile for both! She got one shot and didn't cry at all. She gave us a weird look and then said "Owee" and then she ate her sucker. She was such a big girl!

Speaking of big girls......drum roll please........Aubrey went pee pee on the Potty tonight!!! TWICE!!! Of course, we made a big fuss about it and you could tell she was so proud of herself too. I hope this is a trend and not just a fluke thing. This is the first time she has showed interest in her potty so I think I will take her shopping to buy some underwear tomorrow and hopefully that will act as more incentive to keep going on the potty.

We have been very busy this summer. We have gotten to the cottage a few times and Aubrey LOVES it. She loves playing in the lake and riding the golf cart. We don't even have to take her in for a nap - she naps right on the boat for us! She is such a good kid that I am scared to have another one.

I am enjoying a week off work right now and don't go back until next Wednesday. I get to spend lots of time with Brad and Aubrey and am hoping to get some scrapbooking done before my classes start up again. The house is still on the market and we have an open house on Sunday. We are still in a waiting game with the house we put an offer on. I figure, what's meant to be will be. Thankfully, we are not in a rush to sell our house. There are 5 houses for sale on our street alone!

Here's a few pictures from Aubrey's party - Enjoy :)
