Well, I'm sure tons of things have happened since my last post. First, our computer stopped working, so I haven't been able to update anything. Which, let me tell you, when you're used to having a computer & internet, it SUCKS when it's suddenly gone! HA!
Let's see...a few weeks ago Aubry got her first real "boo boo"...it was the WORST day! We went to Safford for my step-sister's daughter's 1st birthday, along with another friend's daughter's 1st birthday. After the first party, we went over to my dad's for a while, Aubry was having the best time! My dad brought out a huge bucket of toys & of course, she had to pull EVERY single toy out! Then we went outside & she was swinging for a while, then just running around playing in the yard. She was making us all laugh SO hard. She is quite silly. Well, then it was time to go because we had another party to go to...so while we were picking up toys, I turned my back from her for I swear TWO SECONDS & my dad's wiener dog BIT HER! RIGHT IN THE FACE! When I looked over & saw her face bleeding, my heart BROKE...into a million pieces, I swear. He mostly just got her nose. She had 2 spots on the outside on the right, & a big slice in the inside of the other nostril. It could have been a lot worse. She kept giving me that "why did you let that happen, mommy?" look. Ahh! I felt awful! Now, I know it wasn't my fault, it wasn't anyone's fault other than the stupid dog! But I felt like it was my fault. The whole time we were there I kept making sure she didn't get too close to the stupid thing because I don't trust him..then I turn away for a couple seconds & she gets bit!! Ahh! Of course, it's healed now, & she doesn't even remember it most of the time. She does get scared of small dogs sometimes though. I'm sure that will happen for a while. The thing that matters most is that she's fine.
We just got back from Todd's(my amazing big brother!), we stayed there last weekend, it was Jessica's(his wife) birthday. And Richard's is just 2 days before her. So we needed to celebrate. HA! We always have a total blast with them! Plus Aubry had an appointment with her pediatric orthopedic doctor on the 8th. When we walked into the waiting room that day, there was a little boy who was in a cast because he had the surgery Aubry would have to have if it comes to that point. It broke my heart. I just wanted to hug him & his grandma who was there with him. I know it was his grandma because Aubry went over to play with the toys he was by & I heard him call her that, I'm not just some freak stalker haha. That was the first time in the entire time we've been going there that we saw another child with the same thing as Aubry...and it was a boy...hip dysplasia isn't very common in boys. It scared us. But, we went in & did her x-rays & all was well! Her hips haven't changed at all, so that's GREAT news, & everything looks great for now. We'll go back again in 3 to 4 months & she'll get more x rays & hopefully everything will be great still.
While we were in Phoenix we went to Party City & got all of the supplies for Aubry's birthday, & let me tell you, that girl is spoiled!! Haha! I can't believe she is already going to be 2!! It seems like I just had her yesterday! It's hard to believe she's growing up so fast. She changes every day, learns new words, does new things. She's really silly & acts a lot like her goofy daddy. Which I LOVE!! She's been talking a lot more now. Some of the stuff are probably things she picked up from me & I need to watch my mouth more haha. One night I asked her "Are you ready to get out of the bath?" & she replied "NO! Damn it!". And she already gets mad & goes to her room & slams the door....WE'RE IN FOR TROUBLE!
