Aubrey's first wedding

At the ripe old age of 8 months, Aubrey was in her first wedding. As soon as Todd's sister got engaged, she asked if Aubrey could be her flower girl. How could I say no to an excuse to dress up a baby in a frilly dress? Finding the dress was a bit of a challenge, since most flower girls are a bit older than Aubrey. But, Grammy pulled through and found the perfect brown pageant dress for us. It's just been hanging in her closet for the past 2-3 months and I was so excited that she was finally going to get to wear it.

The plan was to pull Aubrey down the isle in Todd's old wagon. And pulling the wagon would be the groom-to-be's nephews. I still don't remember exactly how old they were, but they were so excited about their roles. The wagon ride went very well on Friday night, which made me nervous for Saturday. Practice is supposed to be bad so the real deal is good. On Saturday, Aubrey was a pill by the time the ceremony started. She didn't take much of a nap during the day so by 5:00 she was not happy to be forced to sit up in this wagon. Luckily, Todd was walking behind her in case things went south. She kept scooting forward in the wagon but managed to stay up until she got about halfway down the isle and fell backwards. Luckily, she didn't cry and Todd managed to get her back up. She then proceeded to "talk" throughout the entire ceremony, but I don't think anyone noticed. She wasn't very cooperative for pictures after the ceremony, so we'll see how those turn out. But, we did manage to get a few dances out of her at the reception before she wanted her dinner and then passed out in her stroller. I think she did pretty well overall and I'm excited to use the dress again for her 9-month pics in a few weeks.
