Mommy and Daddy's Bed

Ainsley use to get in bed with us on the weekends when we weren't ready to get out of bed yet. That was a long time ago (now she loves to sleep as late as we do, if not later). God bless her. So it's been awhile since she's been in the big bed and she was thrilled about it this weekend. Excuse the overload on stripes please. The bed spread and her dress look much better when not combined.
























On a side note, tooth #8 has finally made an appearace! She's been lopsided with just three teeth on the bottom for months now. I was getting worried she was never going to get a matching tooth down there. Finally she's balanced out!

Bath Time Can't Get Here Quick Enough

I use to be able to start the bath water and then go undress Ainsley for her bath, but now she screams bloody murder if I start the bath water and then leave the bathroom. So tonight I undressed her first and then took her in the bathroom with me to get the water ready. She stood at the side of the tub holding onto her duh (aka duck) that goes ku-wha (aka quack) waiting for her water to be ready. Bath time can't get here quick enough for Ainsley!

Fox in Socks

Grammy and Granpa came to visit today and brought Ainsley a Fox in the Sox stuffed animal. She likes to grab him by the neck and hug him and thinks its funny when his ears tickle her face.

A Little Messy

They may be a little messy, but Ainsley loves ravioli!

Reverse!

Ainsley has figured out how to get it to move...but only in reverse!

The older she gets...

...the more interesting dinner time gets. She is eating lots of finger foods now. When I get ready to make her dinner, I now have to consider if its safe for the dogs to eat. We also bought her a new bib to catch the food she drops (its contents are a good indicator of how well she likes something), which cuts down on Charlie and Gabe's new diet. Well, it did until a few days ago when she learned its fun to just drop the food straight onto the floor for her furry friends. She even stores food in her bib sometimes...until she gets caught.

Catch

Ainsley has learned how to throw things, so Dustin played catch with her this week. Then she got distracted by the camera and decided rolling around was more fun. Excuse the naked baby in a diaper look...she made a mess at dinner and it was almost bath time.

Early Birthday Gifts

Nana and Papaw were in town last weekend and Ainsley got a couple of little early birthday gifts. The first is a swing, which she loved. And the second was a little sponge you use with babies in the tub so she can sit on it in the big tub and not slip. Like always, she wanted to hoard her toys in the tub, but its harder when her toys can float further away.

Swim Lessons

Ignore the techno music in the background...water aerobics was just over the bulkhead from Ainsley's class. Notice how she's well aware of when it's time to go underwater.

Second Swim Lesson Video

For the life of me, I couldn't get it to upload two videos in one post.
