e l e v en months

Aubree Jane Mulcock is now eleven months old! Where has the time gone! Things have been so busy recently that I just can not believe she is already eleven months old. This month uncle Nate's baby was born and his name is Jaxson. He is so sweet and tiny, we are so excited Aubree has another cousin to play with. The first time she saw him all she did was smile and rub his little head, it was the sweetest thing! We also had a wedding this month! Aubree's uncle Jake got married to Felicia and they had a beautiful wedding in Steve and Michelles backyard. It brought back so many memories of our wedding which feels like just yesterday. Such a happy time for Jake and Felicia, it is so fun to see them so happy and in love. We also got the news of another cousin on the way, aunt sha sha is pregnant and due in November. So many cousins are being born it is such a fun time. I am so grateful Aubree has lots of cousins to grow up with. So since we have been so busy with family things I am thankful I started getting things ready for her birthday party months ago. We recently hired a photographer to do a cake smash photo shoot for her first birthday. It went perfectly and I already have some of the photos printed and put in frames for the party. I am probably going way over board for her birthday being that she isn't going to remember any of this but I can't help it! Its so much fun planning a little girls party! I honestly still can't wrap my head around the fact that she is going to be one. This first year has flown by so fast and I have enjoyed every min of it. Having her by my side pretty much twenty four seven has been such an adventure. She has taught me things about myself that I didn't know. For example.. I am the type of mom who wants to play all day and make messes and then once everyone is asleep and the house is quiet I get a second wind and want to clean everything and do the dishes, laundry, sweep, mop, clean the bathrooms. Its crazy I know.. it would make more since to do those things during the day but I just love holding my baby and playing with her and teaching her. She is my best girl friend and her dad is amazing. I don't know what I did to get lucky enough to live this beautiful life I am living. Ben and Aubree make my world go round. I don't know what I would do without them. They make me happy and smile and even when I am feeling down they make me laugh. I love them with all my heart and am looking forward to this next year with them by my side. <3
