first trip to the beach: First Play date:

First trip to the zoo:

So sorry it has taken me a while to update you on her cardiologist appointment two weeks back. With the 4th and Sam having some time off we did some family things :)!! The cardiologist appointment. went really well, The cardiologist says she looks great and to keep up the good work yayy for us!! We have narrowed it down to the last 2 weeks of Aug. but we don't have exact dates yet, due to a couple of things, 1- its summer so many children get surgery during the summer before school starts, and 2- they need to submit a request form and get the whole team thing together! So can you guess what we do now?? ohh yes WAITT! Sam has been asking me to call and see if they have set the date, although I want to know, at the same time, I don't want to call I want to wait until We get that phone call. I don't want to be a pain to the hospital and be that pushy person, but on the same note I don't want to sit back and just keep waiting and be put off, if that makes sense?! I have never been good at waiting, it seems like the days just come and go and not one call. When the phone rings I pause, my heart goes into my throat and my stomach is in notes, but when its not Children's Hospital calling I have a sigh of relief but at the same time frustration takes over. She had her regular 9 month check up and she is doing great on that end - she is actually on the "typical" child growth chart for length, not weight but we are getting there!!!

Everyday I see Aubrey doing more and more things, becoming her own person and she has taught me that we don't need to be a rush for everything, quilty as charged I was always in a rush, why? I have no idea why. Everyone is in such a rush, weather it be driving in the car, going to an appointment, getting through the work day, ect. but for what? With Tagen I couldn't wait until he sat alone, crawled, talked, and walked, but with Aubrey I am content with being patient and not being in a rush for her to do all these things because I know when she does master them it's going to be special and meaningful!
