wow, it has been a while!

wow, i haven't posted in a really. long. time!  it's not a coincidence that the pause in posting occurred at the same time that i a) started a (great) new job and b) the A monster is displaying record levels of energy.  we're having a blast together all the time, but MAN does she keep us busy.  i don't have anything deep or profound to say here because i can tell that she's about to wake up from her nap -- but i wanted to get some pics up for anyone who has been checking!

our life is really full right now, but mostly it's full of great stuff...i just don't often have the opportunity to sit down at my computer (which is a shame, because i miss photo-editing!).  all of these pics are SOOC (straight out-of-camera) -- maybe someday i'll be able to play around with them.  :)

oh, and also?  she's 20 months old.  TWENTY.  like, in four months she'll be TWO.  oh to the em to the gee.

alright, first up...aubrey cheering for the jets in the playoff game.  (she's thinking "mom, are you seriously going to take pictures while daisy eats my ET?!?")




next up?  this is the awesomeness that happens when i leave her with daddy while i get a pedi:




here are my two faves in the reflection of the piggy bank.  (can you see 'em?)  she thinks it is hiLARious how her face gets distorted in the mirrored image.  seriously, she cracks up.  it's awesome.




next pic:  i just think she looks cute here.  you know how sometimes you'll look at a pic and you see a glimpse of what you think they'll look like when they're older?  yeah, THAT.




another from the same day:  (& i think i like putting tutus on her because i think it's funny when she says "mommy, please no tutu...no tutu..."  heh.)




this is her overly dramatic response to my suggestion of "honeybear, do you want to lay down and take a picture next to your baby?"...




fun with sunglasses after being snowed in for like a month:





daddy's little helper:





she cracks herself up wearing my shoes:




a personal fave...this is what she does when you ask for 'blue steel'  (a la zoolander):




and another personal fave...she is constantly asking for "one more" but she uses the most serious, subdued voice...she's already learning how to manipulate us.




and last but not least, my casual little lady (based on body language, she looks like a teenager here...NOOOOOOOO!):




i hope that isn't too much of an overload!  she actually just woke up so i'm going to get her for an afternoon snuggle...but as you can see, we've been having fun!
