Squeaky Clean

After I cleaned up this morning, I opened the door to the bedroom and Ainsley immediately ran in and began pointing to the shower door and saying shower. Knowing she usually hates water in her face and would not like the shower, I turned it on and let her check it out. She stepped in fully clothed and stood just out of range of the water stream. Surprised, I decided I better take her clothes off. Next thing I know:

















We've been working on the water in her face when we play outside and in the tub. I guess its working!

Saturday in Pictures (and Pajamas)

I'm not ashamed to admit the girls spent most of their Saturday in pajamas with a little break in their swimsuits.

Charlie Kisses

I think Charlie has a soft spot for Amelia. He loves being close to her when she's on the floor and she loves him being near her.













She also enjoyed looking over Ainsley's artwork tonight until she decided it was tasty.

Late Nite with The Caughrons

Both the girls stayed up well past their bed time tonight. Ainsley goofed off with her daddy while Amelia watched on.

Carrots!

We've moved on from cereal to carrots. Don't let the smile fool you, it wasn't love at first taste.

Water!

We made a quick trip to Hawaiian Falls with Ainsley today. She didn't last long, but she did like the area where she could play in the water without big kids running her over.

And We're Off!

Slowly, but surely.

Except Amelia is two months younger than Ainsley was.

Why We Move the Paper Towels at Bath Time...

And this was a fairly dry night compared to some.

6 Months!

How has it already been half a year? My favorite thing about Amelia this month is her infectious smile. You can't help but smile back. She isn't quite sitting on her own yet (she's close), but she is slowly crawling inch bug style! Watch out Ainsley, she's coming after your toys!

Tough Love

Ainsley loves her babies. She's a great mommy even with three babies to take care of. But as we found out tonight, she's not afraid to discipline them by wagging her little index finger at them shouting, "No, No!" She also tends to their boo boos, feeds them, and gives them kisses.

Circus Circus

Grammy and Grandpa treated us to the Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey Circus. The girls both enjoyed it and were exhausted by the time it was over.

Sleeping Arrangements

Ainsley was out of her swaddler by about 1 month. Amelia on the other hand still slept in a swaddler until this past week and would probably be content to continue doing so. She began breaking out a little more frequently so I decided to brave the change and put her to bed unswaddled. She slept just as well, but has woken up in some precarious positions.

First Cereal

We decided to hold off on starting Amelia on solid foods until she was closer to six months. We started that oh so yummy rice cereal with her this week. There has been a lot of tongue thrusting, spitting, and mess. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it in the next week or so.
