The boys...

Charlie





















Gabe





















Will remain the boys at our house...It's a GIRL! Don't ask us what her name will be...we don't know!

I am planning on changing the blog address in a week or two. I'll give you another notice before I do. Right now www.thecaughrons.blogspot.com is available, so I'm planning on changing to that. I'll email you as well, but in case I don't have your email...make a note of it!

Budding Artist

Ainsley found my note pad and a pen on the end table this evening. I quickly replaced the pen with a pencil and let her scribble away. It's fun to watch her and see how she is learning what to do with different objects. She puts phones to her ear and was trying to comb her own hair tonight (hard to do when you have so little hair). So smart...should we contact Harvard now about financing?

Facing Forward

Ainsley moved up in the carseat world and is officially forward facing and quite happy about it. Nana knitted Ainsley a little bunny and she loves taking her bunny on car rides and to bed!

Drinking and Driving

Louisiana can bring out bad habits I guess! Ainsley was drinking water while driving her Disney Princess mobile at Nana and Papaw's last weekend. Ainsley also participated in her first Komen Race (via stroller and while napping) to celebrate Nana's 7 years! We love you Nana! We had a great weekend in Shreveport, but as always, it was too short!

1...2...3...

That's how many steps Ainsley took last night! And she added a few more this evening for the camera before falling down!



She had her 12 month well visit this morning. We were crossing our fingers she had made it to 20 pounds...with a belly full of cereal and formula...she weighed 19 lbs 15.5 oz. Go figure! We will order her new carseat next week and by the time we get it, I feel fairly certain we will have officially made it past the 20 pound mark.

Happy Birthday Ainsley

1 Year Old! It really is hard to believe. She was not in the picture taking mood, but as usual perked up after her bedtime bottle and we got a few good ones in. She changes every day. She's beginning to say some words that are at least familiar to us if not anyone else including ball, duck, and uh oh (does that count as a word?). She also is beginning to share...I think. She picked up all the mail tonight and handed it piece by piece to Dustin and she also tried to put her pacifier in my mouth tonight. She is close to walking. I think right now its just a matter of her deciding she wants to. We are so blessed to have Ainsley!

1st Birthday Party

Today was Ainsley's first birthday party! She had lots of friends and family to play with and got lots of goodies. She was slow getting into the cake and never showed much emotion, but she definitely got messy by the end of it. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us! I'm exhausted and short on words tonight, so instead I'll share lots of pictures. Also, make sure you check out the post following this one for a surprise.

We've been keeping a secret...

Ainsley got a special birthday present today that we were excited to share with our friends and family. (Click the picture if you can't read the writing on the shirt)















I don't know how we kept the secret as long as we have, but I am 17 weeks already and am due on Valentine's Day! We've been planning for a long time to tell everyone at the party. Thank you to the few who knew and kept our secret for us!

Take a Good Look

Take a good look, because you probably won't see Ainsley wearing any A&M stuff for awhile. It's too embarassing after yesterday. In the meantime, I guess we need to find some LSU stuff for her on our trip to Shreveport in a few weeks.
