Fun on the Fourth!

      We had a fun 4th of July weekend!  We did the same thing we do every year...parade, then Grandpa Moosman's birthday dinner at his house.  Aubrey of course had lots of fun at both! She loved getting candy at the parade, and this year, she didn't run out in the middle of the street.  Last year she kept trying to do that, and we just had to keep a close hold on her, but this year she knows better.  That's nice!

     Austin enjoyed seeing new things too.  We didn't dare bring him to fireworks on the 3rd (Aubrey went with Mathis and Grandma and Grandpa Carlson).  Austin gets upset when there are too many people around.  I was sure the loud fireworks would make him scream.  I just love that little guy!  He's such a happy little baby, and when he's not happy, it's not hard to figure out what he needs.  If he's fussing, but not hungry, he's usually just just tired/overwhelmed and needs some cuddling to fall asleep.  I think it will be so fun to see how Aubrey and Austin's personalities are different.  It's so awesome how babies are born with their own personalities, and you can see aspects of them from the day they are born.  Aubrey was my curious baby.  She loved to see lots of things and be with lots of people. She's always been so outgoing and talkative.  Austin is my sensitive baby.  He seems to prefer low-key situations and LOVES to be held and cuddled all the time!  He already laughs more than Aubrey did, and it's sooo adorable.  He's happy and smiley most of the time!

Here's some pics from the 4th.  That's Aubrey at the parade.

Danielle (Mathis's cousin) and Austin!

Cindy and Aubs.  

This is at Grandpa Moosman's house, with Brittany.  Aubrey ran around that yard for like an hour!  She was a ball of energy as normal!

Bryan came up to hang out with us.   It was fun having him there, and Aubrey was of course having a ball with her uncle!!  She loves him to pieces!!

Cute baby!

Bryan and Aubs watching the fireworks.  The whole street pooled their fireworks together, and lit them at the cul-de-sac, so there were A LOT of fireworks.  One of the neighbors also did a little magic show for all the kids.  It was really cute, and Aubrey really liked it!
