Along Came Aubrey: 4th of July

What a relaxing and fun first 4th of July for Aubrey. And I will admit....it was great to have an extra day off work to spend with our precious daughter. The 4th of July is Daddy's favorite holiday, but this year was much more low-key than any other year. We went to Yutan to see Grandma Trost on her birthday, then back home to relax. Aubrey was so tired and went to sleep right around 8:00 and slept through all the loud booms from fireworks at our neighbors. I was quite surprised that we didn't have a waking baby every hour. Good thing we have that great sound machine - aka humidifier!

As a side note, Aubrey "rolled over" for the first time on the 4th of July! We had her doing some tummy time and she rolled over to her back 3 different times. I will call it rolling over, but maybe it was more of a falling over since she still does not like tummy time?

The Cave family was able to get together Saturday night to celebrate the 4th and boy was it sure fun! We were able to relax, play some yard games and eat some great food. Thanks for hosting, Aunt Jami and Uncle Nick! So glad we could all get together again. It had been too long! Just think....in just a couple months, Aubrey will be alongside Izzy and Iyla causing a ruckus and playing around. They will have so much fun together!
