This year has been amazing. Aubrey has brought so much life and joy into our home. God has used her to teach me perspective, patience, and truth. We are growing in faith and hope because of her. What a gift she is!
Our little lady crawls all over, pulls herself up, has eight teeth, says "Hi" and waves, gives kisses, snuggles lots, nurses even more, is skeptical of the table foods she's been introduced to this month (besides homemade vanilla pudding and Daddy's cream cheese frosting, that is!), weighs almost sixteen and a half pounds, is twenty-eight inches tall, and has the prettiest wide-set blue eyes in the world. We love her to pieces.

God has been so good to Aubrey this year. We are excited about His great plans for her in the many years ahead!
Happy birthday sweet Aubrey! Amazing how fast this year has gone, huh? I can't get over how much her 1 year-old picture looks just like you, with red hair of course. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st birthday Aubrey. You are a blessed child. Here's to more pounds gained, more inches grown and more strenth to come. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Aubrey baby! (from all of the Austin-Howe clan) We hope your day is wonderful, sweet girl. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Brietta.
ReplyDeleteWe love that Aubrey!
I love the post! I love that you have a picture for every month. I would have to search and think really hard to remember what month! I take a lot of pictures and I always label them but it seems you are a bit more organized than I. It was so neat to see her grow and develop this year. What a precious gift. I still love the outfit she wore to Carina's salon. It is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to seeing and hearing all that God does this next year with and through this heavenly gift.
Happy Birthday, Aubrey Colette! We're so happy to hear the great report, and just amazed at the touch of God on this little lady's life.

ReplyDeleteWhen I went to write Aubrey's name on the card, I couldn't remember how to spell her middle name! I looked and looked on your blog....but because it was her b-day, NO NAME was listed under her ticker tape!
ReplyDeleteThe "girl that lives in my house" INSISTED it was COLLETTE. But I think not.COLETTE. Right? : )What a lovely celebration. Thanks for inviting me!
