The Lenahan Clan: July 2007

Finger Food!

With her teeth coming in she loves to munch on her fingers...and we have the proof right here! She is a perfect Lenahan/Smith combo, and has the appetite to prove it!

I love the time I get to spend with Aubrey. I can't seem to give her enough kisses. Sometimes I kiss her over and over until she gets tired of it and starts to squirm and fuss -- and then I kiss her one more time. Life with Aubrey is simple but complete, and completely fulfilling!

Daddy's little girl!

I've never seen a father adore his little girl more than Ryan adores Aubrey. She has his heart in her tiny hand and he in turn has hers. I am starting to realize that she is indeed daddy's little girl and that will never change. I love to watch them together (except for when he holds her over his head with ONE hand -- although I watch extra close then ready to jump in any time she wiggles and I think she is going to fall)! When I got married it was hard for me to imagine life any better than it was then. Then we had Aubrey and all that changed. I can't imagine life any better than at this exact moment in time, but I am sure I will be proven wrong -- and this is one time I am more than happy to be wrong!

It's impossible to see enough of her!

I don't know if it's because we're first time parents or if it's because we have the world's cutest baby, but we have to share her with the world. At times when I am having a difficult day I just look at her face and my heart melts. All of a sudden nothing else seems to matter and for one brief moment I see forever in her eyes and am so grateful to be a mommy. No, grateful to be HER mommy!

We can't seem to get enough!

And the photo shoot continues...

More photo shoot

Our little sweetheart!

Aubrey was so tired she cried and cried but refused sleep. The only thing that would stop the crying was her pacifier (our own personal superman) so that is why there are so many with her pacifier. We'll go back for more on a better day for her.

Aubrey's First Photo Shoot

We have been meaning for quite some time now to get some pictures taken of Aubrey. We thought about going to a studio, but opted for some outdoor shots. Brinn Willis (a Sister I served with on Temple Square) is a photographer here in town and was brave enough to take on the task. It was grotesquely (I have no idea how to spell that word and am too tired to look it up) hot and Aubrey was extremely tired, but she worked her magic and managed to squeeze some adorable pictures of our little stinker! Enjoy!
