Krabi




This is the last post of the Thailand pictures. The last part of our trip we flew from Bangkok to a town in the south called Krabi. There isn't much to Krabi, but you can take boats out to see some incredible islands.



Ko Phi Phi Islands
Our first excursion was to the Ko Phi Phi Leh and Ko Phi Phi Don. We took a speed boat with some other travelers and went snorkeling, swam and enjoyed the fantastic scenery. Our boat stopped at different places on the two islands and we also did some at sea snorkeling. Simon and I just had to take turns. I had never snorkeled before and it was awesome. We saw some great fish and corel in the water. It took Auburn a few minutes to warm up to being the water, but then she loved it. The temperture of the water was perfect and the water was so clear.

Than Bokk
One day we headed up to a national park. We were kind of disappointed because it turned out to be quite small for the time we spent getting there, but it really was beautiful.





Auburn chowing down her rice. She would get so excited when she saw that bowl of plain steamed rice coming.

seriously delicious



Auburn actually took her first step in Thailand. This picture was taken right after it happened. She hasn't repeated it yet, but we (especially me and my pregnant belly) are hoping that she soon gets the desire to walk.





Koh Rok Nok
The other excursion we made by boat was to Koh Rok Nok. This island has no hotels or resturants on it. Our tour guides brought lunch in and we ate on the beach. On the beach we saw iguanas and snails. We also went snorkeling on this excursion, but we were able to spend a little bit more time on the beach.











Our sleepy beauty



A perfect end to a wonderful vacation.

How beautiful! What a wonderful break from freezing winter, huh?

That's so exciting about Auby walking... you are going to love it! Everyone said walking would be harder than crawling since they're so mobile, but that is NOT the case. Walking is so much better, especially when you're in public and they can't just get down and crawl!

What an amazing trip! And I can't believe how big Auburn is getting!

You have taken some AMAZING photos to document! Thanks, again, for letting me live through your blog and "visit" all these amazing places!!
It must be the year. Gianna isn't interested in walking at all. I mean, she wants us to walk her around, but don't even think about trying to let go and make her stand on her own! =)

Auburn's blessing

On Sunday, November 23rd, Simon was able to bless our precious little Auburn. Grandpa and Grandma Hill were able to be here for the blessing. I know that Papi and Grandma Little wished they could of been here as well. We had an earlier visit from the Littles when Auby was just a few weeks old. Grandma Hill made her beautiful dress and Grandma Perkins made her blanket. This weekend we had our first snowfall. The temperature was frigid and there was still snow on the ground. It still turned out to be a wonderful day. Auburn was her perfect little self. She didn't cry at all and her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!

It's a ......

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

preparing for baby

I guess I had forgotten all of the things that need to be done to prepare for a new baby. We have also been trying to prepare Auburn for the the baby as well. Auburn now refers to herself as "big girl" (she also calls herself Auby). We took her "bink" away a few months ago. She was only using it for sleep. The first night she was furious, but then that was it. She asked for it at naptime for the next few weeks and then, nothing, no more bink. She started sleeping in her big girl bed last week. There has been no problems with that transition either. Simon asked her the other day if she wanted to sleep in the crib of the bed and she said "big girl bed". I know that there will be some jealousy, but so far so good. I started buying newborn diapers, washing all of his clothes, moved the crib up to newborn and put boy sheets on and packed my bag for the hospital. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. We are only 3 weeks away.... This is the be
