What's in a Name?

I am really struggling to name our second baby girl, since I feel her name needs to be as beautiful and special as Aubrey. It is such an important decision!!! Anyway - I am feeling Sappy and Weepy today for some reason. The following is in part the inspiration for Aubrey. Enjoy.


And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around. If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her,
but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.

Wish that I had found the way And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want,
I'll do without the best.

But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

Nap of all Naps

Aubrey is currently taking the longest nap of her life - 3.5 hours! Holy Cow! Of course the poor baby is sick, but still. I cannot believe it! I have heard of other babies doing this, I thought it was an Urban Myth.

Skinny dipping has become an every day ritual at our house. And what is cuter than a little baby's bottom?

4th of July

Evidently Aubrey thinks that parades are especially for her! She waved at everyone as we marched in the Little Forest Hills Parade. She LOVED it. I hope I am not raising a future 'Miss Peanut Festival' - YIKES!

Zoo

We go to the Zoo almost every weekend because Aubrey is obsessed about 'Nunkeys'. This is how she looked last weekend.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!

As you know we were not going to find out the gender of this baby, just like we did with Aubrey. Well, in the middle of the sonogram yesterday we just decided to find out! It was a really fun moment because it was so unexpected and Aubrey was there, and I of course burst into tears.

It was definitely a day I will remember.
