Day 330
--
Aubrey was preparing to take a few steps in this photo. She still chooses to crawl, but has definitely made progress with walking. She takes a couple steps then sits (or falls) down. For a while she would get back up and try again. As soon as John got home though, we were trying to get her to walk from one another, but she wouldn't do it. She's closer though! So I guess she officially took her first steps today. She will be 11 months in a few days.

Took big sister to see the doctor this morning about her ear. Turns out she does have an infection (figured she did). She was in a lot of pain during the night and this morning. She is starting to feel better now that she has antibiotics and ibuprofen.
I barely slept Friday night...not sure why, and then was up early for an early derby practice Saturday morning. Saturday I barely slept because of Kenzie not feeling well, and barely slept last night for the same reason. I am so tired, I am really hoping that Kenzie decides to sleep in her own bed tonight. The only one in the house who has been well rested is this little one.

zoe (also known as, mouse mouth after today's events)

the dog came for a ride too. I guess this was her reward for trying to catch a gigantic mouse that was in the backyard. I swear it was a rat, but John insists it was just a big mouse. either way, I was grossed out and really do not want to see it again. zoe did actually catch it, but wasn't sure what to do with it, so let it go. it escaped through the fence into the neighbor's yard. John said it looked like zoe injured it, so hopefully it will not be coming back to our yard.

I had a derby practice this morning. We did jumping drills for 2 hours. It was fun, but also a little tricky. After I got home and got cleaned up we went out for a little 2+ mile walk and ended up walking to get Jamba Juice. After spending a few hours home just chilling out, we decided to walk to the Food Truck Social that was going on a little north of us. So another 3-ish miles in the evening. It was a good calorie burning day. It was so beautiful out that we had to get out and enjoy it. We won't have many of these days left.

Bought these back in June or July. They are perfect derby shoes, since I can slip them on and off easy, but they are also pretty supportive. I probably could have sized down a half size now that they are broken in, but they're still fine.

I didn't take any photos today, so sadly I am using one of the two I took yesterday for the 365.

mmmm....lens cap.

I love black and white photography, but don't use it enough on my own photography. I rediscovered how much nicer the black and white setting is on my real camera, as opposed to the iPhone. So I think I might leave it on b&w for awhile.

Kenzie wasn't feeling well last night and into today, so it was a pretty quiet day around here. This evening she was feeling much better and was even playing with Aubrey. While Kenzie built the tower, Aubrey would either take pieces off or knock it down. Normally, Kenzie would get upset about that, but tonight she thought it was funny.
Hopefully, she'll feel better tomorrow.

Today's photo brought to you by Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Kenzie's last music class was this morning, so I went along with Aubrey. We might not be signing her up for the fall session, though she really likes it and more importantly she REALLY likes her teacher. When we were asking her if she wanted to take the class again, she very enthusiastically said "YES!". When I asked her if she would be sad if she didn't see Miss Jessica anymore, she said "Yes. She is my favorite teacher." Miss Jessica really likes Kenzie too, and John commented that she looked a little sad when Kenzie was hugging her at the end of class. So....maybe...we'll sign her up again.

Just a low-key day today. I've been feeling it all week from derby on Sunday, and then again on Wednesday. So I skipped working out yesterday and today. Probably will skip tomorrow too, since it's Kenzie's last music class for awhile and I want to try and go to it. I did go for a walk though, so it's not like I've been lounging around. Just haven't done my usual workouts. I also need to get some sewing done so I can get some things sent out and listed on etsy. I have another custom order, so need to work on that too.

228/365:2 /// after haircut
I got my hair cut today. I was getting bored of having the same style, so wanted a change. And this was it. More layers, shorter and a different shape from what I've had lately. Hopefully, it will be slightly easier to style, since perfection is not key with this cut.

I got really behind on taking photos of Aubrey, so I had to fix that today and get some shots of her wearing this little outfit. It belonged to a daughter of a friend of mine, but it was never really worn and she knew I would like it. She gave me a few things that she wouldn't be able to use with her second baby (who was just born two weeks ago and was a boy).
Hopefully, I'll get back on track with taking daily photos of Aubrey again. In less than 2 months, she'll be a year old, so I better finish this 365 with a bang!

All I needed was a croissant on my plate. We didn't have any at the time, but now for some reason we do.

Woke up early to register K for pre-school and soccer through the park district. Then just tried to get a lot of stuff done that needed to get done today. I have 6 pairs of baby booties that I need to finish. Two pairs are a custom order that I need to have done by Wednesday night, and one of the other four pairs also needs to get finished for an order. The other three are going up on etsy...whenever I get them finished. Hopefully tomorrow I can have everything done. I tend to procrastinate, but I hate the feeling of stuff that needs to be finished looming over my head.

It was a weekend of roller derby for me. Last night, John and I went to see The Chicago Outfit Syndicate play against the Burning River rollergirls from Ohio. Syndicate won (167 to 53). Today I went to Derby Lite's Get In Gear Day, which is basically a day to help show what Derby Lite is all about for people interested in signing up for the next session. It was fun, along with 3 hours of extra skating and a refresher course on some things we haven't done in a while (one knee falls, and falling drills in general).
