Amelia Meets Baby Doll

Amelia ran rolled into a friend today. At first she was curious. Then she was just hungry.

Giggles

There is nothing sweeter.

You Know She Doesn't Feel Well When...

You know Ainsley doesn't feel well when she picks the kitchen floor to take a nap. Now she's napping comfortably in her crib.

Not Feeling So Hot

Actually, she's been feeling very hot! Ainsley has been feeling pretty awful the past day and a half. I thought this morning it was going to be short lived, but this afternoon her temp got really high. She has spent most of her day in my lap. I had to put her down so I could feed Amelia tonight and she feel asleep on the floor. Hopefully things start looking up tomorrow.

New Spot

Ainsley has a new spot at the table as of this morning. In an attempt to keep the house quiet and let Dustin sleep in on Father's Day, I got up and fed Amelia and then got Ainsely up and dressed and buckled in at the table to eat breakfast. Ainsley evidently didn't like what she saw on her plate and very quickly pushed against the table sending her and the chair flying backwards before I could do a thing. She smacked her poor little head on the back of the chair as it hit the floor and scared the you know what out of me. She was just as scared as I was based on how much she was shaking afterwards. A little ice and a bump on the head later, we've rearranged the seating arrangements at the breakfast table and Ainsley is now safely situated between the table and the wall. Next time she gets mad about what's for breakfast she will just bounce off the wall.

Look of the Day

Amelia's look of the day.

Big Shoes to Fill

Ainsley's got big shoes to fill...literally. But she manages to walk just fine in them.

Pool Take 2

Ainsley had her second go in the pool today when Grammy and Grandpa came over.

Start of a Lifelong Friendship?

Ainsley's starting to realize she can get smiles out of Amelia. She brought Amelia's bumpo seat to me tonight and insisted I put Amelia in it. They had fun for a few minutes until Ainsley decided the yellow middle part made a good drum and got a little too close to hitting Amelia in the face.

















(Please ignore the Christmas pants. Ainsley pulled those out of my drawer the other day and insists on using them as a blanket.)

Splash Day

Ainsley's first splash day at school was today! She wasn't really excited to be in her bathing suit this morning, but I'm told she enjoyed herself. Her swim lessons this summer start on Monday.

Fists or Feet?

Amelia found her feet, but I don't think she's quite ready to give up her fist just yet.

4 Months!

Miss Amelia May is already 4 months! Her personality is really coming out. She loves to smile, loves to talk, and loves to watch her sister. I know the months to come will be awesome as they begin to interact even more. She is the sweetest surprise I've ever had and I am so blessed to be her mommy.

Summer Fun!

After much consideration, we settled on a backyard pool for Ainsley. Inflatable or hard plastic? Slide or no slide? Spray feature or no spray feature? Ultimately we decided to go old school and get her one of the old hard plastic pools with a built in slide. Much to my surprise, she actually used the slide a few times and hopefully will use it again the more she uses the pool. We also bought something to hook up to the hose that sprays water, but it managed to not make it in any pictures. Hopefully Ainsley will have lots of fun this summer!

First Trip to the Aquarium

Today was the first time to the Dallas World Aquarium not only for Ainsley and Amelia, but for Dustin and I as well. Unlike a friend of ours, we made it out in our own clothing. Ainsley loved looking at all the animals just like she did at the zoo. We went with Nana and PaPaw, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Paul, and Alex, Luke and Ellie too!
