Aubrey's birthday

This weekend we celebrated Aubrey's 2nd birthday. I can't believe she's 2 already! Between Aaron going to school, job loss, new jobs, and me babysitting for income it seems like the last two years have just flown by. Wow...
Happy Birthday little girl. Hopefully the years to come will be even more fun. Just please don't grow up too fast. :)

Fun Tidbits about Aubrey:
-She can use sign language to sign 20+ words: please, thank you, sorry, milk, juice, drink, cheese, cereal, dog, cat, bird, fish, bear, blanket, done, more, eat, sleep/tired, swing, car, ball, and shoes. This is especially helpful when I'm trying to decipher between bear and blankie, which come out "bah."
-She calls monkeys (especially Curious George) "ooh, ooh, hah, hah," which makes me think of Finding Nemo, "Shark bait, ooh, hah, hah!"
-She LOVES shoes and tries to wear everyone else's shoes all the time, but she is very picky about which of her own shoes she'll wear, more specifically only her boots.
(so sad, she doesn't fit these anymore.)
-She is the only female toddler I know of that can recognize, name, AND requests Ironman, Spiderman, Super Mario, and Beyblade. (I blame that on her brothers.)
-She LOVES toothpaste. I'm talking about the addicted eats-it-from-the-tube-have-to-keep-it-hidden kind of love. Oh, and it doesn't matter whose toothbrush it is she will use it and leave it somewhere in the house. It makes for "great" bedtime treasure hunts every night.
(yes, that's toothpaste on her face.)
-Whenever she asks for more chips, she says, "Chip me!"
-Every time she puts on sunglasses, she has to point her fingers and say, "Hey Baby!"  (Yeah, I taught her that one.)
-She LOVES tomatoes. See this post...
-She is a scratcher and a screamer, which has resulted in an informal suspension from the Kid's Club at the gym. See this post...
-She is a definite Daddy's Girl. She screams "Daddy!" and goes running to the door when she hears him come home at the end of the day. I know Aaron, of course, LOVES this. :)
-Her favorite movies are Curious George, Ponyo, and any of the Baby Signing Time videos.
-The first thing she asks for when she wakes up in the morning is to watch Curious George. In fact, she gets upset if someone else is watching TV when she wakes up in the morning because it means she has to wait for her turn.
-She is NOT a morning person. This is probably why see wants to watch Curious George every morning. She needs a good half hour to get in a good mood and be ready to eat breakfast, a definite opposite of her oldest brother who wakes up at 5:30am nearly every day.
-She LOVES green smoothies and frozen Go-gurts. I have a hard time keeping our freezer stocked solely because of this girl.
-Whenever, I put her down for a nap the following conversation occurs...
Me: Night, night Aubrey.
Her: Mom!
Me: What?
Her: I love you.
Me: I love you too.
Her: Mom!
Me: What?
Her: I love you.
Me: I love you too.
Her: Mom!
Me: What?
Her: I love you.
Me: I love you too.
(and this goes on at least 5 times. I love it!)
-Although I initially tried to avoid it, Aubrey is inherently girly. She just naturally loves shoes, necklaces, purses, the color purple, fairies, dolls, and all stuffed animals. I often catch her trying to put on my make-up.
-She is such a goofball. She is always doing silly things to make us laugh. When that girl is old enough to tell a joke or drop a punchline, she will be HILARIOUS!
Happy Birthday, Bee!
