from the beginning, but Brian was lobbying for "Ann or Anne." He thought it was cute that Au[brey Anne] was a play on the "Brianne" or "Brianna" that Great-Aunt Betty Jenkins suggested as a way of passing on his name to the baby. Susan said there were too many "Ann"s in the family already (Grandma Mary Anne Sargeant, Madison Anne, Julie Ann...) It's only fair that Susan got to name Aubrey since she had no input whatsoever on "Tyler James..." (We're all hoping that Amy will get over the fact that she now feels she can't use her long-favored boy's name "Jack Aubrey" because he'd have a GIRL cousin named the same name - feminine version! Maybe she'll find a new hero before then...) (At lease she still has "Martin Hinckley!" See "Amy Leaves the Nest" posted previously.)
Allyson, my blog technical adviser, is in New York, so I can't rotate these pictures, but they are better than nothing. Susan took these today and I think they do a fair job of showing Aubrey's eleven-day-old cuteness!
She's already a pro at our family favorite - the "O" mouth. This little girl can make some REALLY interesting faces already! She also growls and grunts for a while before she wakes up!
Could this be Sydney Nadramia's cousin?? Sydney is only seven months old and already poses and claps excitedly whenever she sees a camera. Baby Aubrey - posing at 11 days...
She even strikes a cute pose when she is sleeping. Is it any wonder we love this little doll? And get a load of all that dark hair. We're hoping it might be curly-cue like Susan's...
Susan is doing well and Brian is anxious to get life back to "normal." He tried very hard to convince Susan that they should all drive up to Fairview today so he and Tyler could help Papa work on "the land." Susan is feeling pretty well today and yesterday, and even took Tyler and Aubrey out by herself today, but she's not ready for a six hour drive to Utah yet! Luckily her midwife concurred and everyone is safe at home...

Oh my goodness!!! She is soooo cute! I can't wait 'til we can meet her IRL! So good to see you last week! It's always too short! Love ya'!
Hey Linda,
Maybe this will make Amy feel better. My Grandma Jacksons' middle name is Dean after her Uncle and my little brother's middle name is Dean after my Grandma. My brother has never been embarrassed of his name and my Grandma hasn't either. I think that Amy could still use Aubrey if she wants to. How often does one use their middle name anyway right :)
Thanks, Kelly. Amy read your comment and said, "Aaaah, Kelly! It's true!" So maybe by the time she has a little boy, she'll be over it all and can name him Jack Aubrey still...Thanks again for thinking of her!
What a beautiful little Aubrey - and a beautiful name! Here's another thought for Amy - 2 cousins in the Wallace family - Jeffrey & Katie - both share the middle name of Kendall. As far as I know, both are just fine with it - though one is a boy & one is a girl. So Amy - it really will be OK - especially because Aubrey Jane will be such a cool, mature, awesome big cousin for any little cousin to look up to - boy or girl! Then your family would have a AJ & a JA - kinda cool!
Linda - I have been known to comment on my sistser's site when my daughter has been logged into her google account - so obviously, LaRae, not Madi made that last comment. Sorry!
