Learning to enjoy this dance, this life, it's ups & downs, sometimes plain inside out or clear off the map; it is our life! We are blessed to share this dance together as Mother & Daugher, as a family. Here is our journey.....
My mom, brother, Bree, and I all packed up and headed to the Arboretum! I haven't been there since I was about 17 and very into my photography days. It is still just simply beautiful out there!
We packed a picnic lunch, and just enjoyed walking around looking at all the stunning flowers and countless pumpkins and gourds. It ended up being much warmer than we thought it was going to be, so we took off a bit early. It was a beautiful fun day!!
She was throwing pumpkins....... :)

Looking for a pumpkin or gourd anyone?!?!?
So pretty. It reminded me of the trees in Central Park!
WOW!!! I can't believe our beautiful little Bree is already 15 months old!!! These past 5 years have been filled with so much drastic change, but it seems as though these past 3 months have been the some of the hardest and most unexpected of my life. The brightest light through it all is a little girl named Aubrey!! She fills my broken heart with love, lifts my spirits, brightens any room she walks/runs into, and is my everlasting example of God's love.......... even on days when I can't seem to find or feel it any where.
Here are some of the things Miss Breezy is doing these days:
-Waving to everyone, to doggies, to trees, to passing cars.......... It is so adorable!
- Saying "Momma" or some days "MOMMMMMA", "Dadda" or just "Dad", "Nonnna" for my mom, and "Ma" for her uncle Matt W. She also sort of says bye, and "D" for dog.
- She has 8 teeth now! 4 on top & 4 on the bottom!
- She Loves her butterfly/bug back pack & insists on wearing it around most everywhere, she loves airplanes, wind chimes, doggies, all animals really, birds, trees, long walks around the pond & park, getting out & about (walks, car rides, library time, playgroup.... etc.), snacking the day away, Gatorade with water, sippy cups, destroying blocks that mommy builds up for her, re-arranging everything HER way, carrying a purse with her always around the house, she is REALLY starting to love being read to (she will go pick out a book..... she has about 3-4 favorites right now, the she will bring it to you and turn around and plop down in your lap), she loves playing with any telephone (especially mine), pacifiers, banana Cheerios, brushing her teeth while mommy brushes hers, being outside,
- She dislikes diaper changing, open doors (especially microwaves & refrigerators), washing her hair, face, and ears, when mommy leaves the room, she doesn't like it when people wear glasses/sunglasses or hats....... she like to see your face, she doesn't much care for veggies, flies annoy her desperately (she will also wave her hands around when you say to her "shoe fly!"), and teething is the absolute WORST!!
- She also had her 15 month wellness visit with her pediatrician yesterday, and she did SO well! She even got a shot & blood taken........ and she didn't cry for even 1 moment. I was shocked! The doc said she is doing beautifully in development & growth...... and gave her an A++
Here are her stats: Height: 31inches = 64 percentile Weight: 23.14 = 68 percentile Head: 18.5 inches = 81 percentile
Friends are the best!!! (even though I was a bit fussy this day)
Just the Girls!
Waiting for Dadda.......
She looks like such a big girl some days ......
B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l ANGEL Trying to smell the flower.
It sure is the little things that bring so much joy! Bree is such a little sweet heart! I have always known she is smart, but I didn't realize every little detail she really picks up on. Our old precious little dog, Bailey, has trouble seeing, jumping, and just getting around.... some days. So, every time it is nap time or bedtime, I put Bree in bed, then lean down and pick up Bailey and lay him at the foot of our bed. I never knew that Bree understood that he needed help, ......... until she started trying to lift him up & help him in bed the other day!!!!
Bailey pretty much thinks anytime we are in the bedroom, it must be time to get in bed. Well, as Bree and I were playing with some toys in our room the other day, Bailey was trying his hardest to get in bed. Bree simply walked over and began helping him.
I laughed 'til I nearly cried, and my heart just melted to see what a gentle sweet spirit my daughter has!!
"For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair."
