Busy Busy

Ainsley's been busy on the phone keeping up with her friends since she hasn't been to daycare in a few days and won't be back for another week. If I only could get her on video saying, "Hello." Her voice drops about 3 octaves when she says it.

Bright Lights

Amelia was not about to let her dad blind her for a photo op after the first try!

Sickie!

Ainsley has joined the world of breathing treatments like her friend Anna (hopefully only short term though). She has bronchiolitis. Luckily it is not a result of the flu or RSV, but we still have to keep Ainsley and Amelia separate because it could hospitalize Amelia if she were to get it. Ainsley's first two treatments were not pretty. Dustin and I both had to hold her down for the duration. Overnight it was a bit easier because she was so out of it. This morning we used a blanket to wrap her up and by this afternoon she was a little pro and sat in my lap the entire time with minimal whining. Hopefully she continues to tolerate it!

More Amelia and Ainsley

Here are some more pictures from the last several days. We came home Monday and Ainsley had a rough first night when she realized the baby was at home, but she is slowly adjusting to being a big sister and loves to rub Amelia's head.

Amelia decided to be punctual and make her grand entrance on her Valentine's Day due date. Dustin and I headed to the hospital Friday night close to midnight after my water broke. Thankfully my labor began early Saturday morning and I was able to avoid a repeat c-section. We are all doing well and hope to head home tomorrow morning.

Ainsley...Meet Baseboard...

...Baseboard meet Ainsley. Evidently Ainsley got up close and personal with the pretty purple baseboards at daycare today. She's got a pretty purple bruise to prove it. Gabe kissed her and made it better and then she chilled out in her chair and took it easy (for about two seconds and then she was off and running as usual).

No Baby

No baby yet if you are checking in for an update, but as always we have pictures of our other baby for you. Saturday she was looking pretty. Sunday morning she read the paper, then did a little coloring in her diaper before going to lunch with Grammy and Grandpa. Tonight she tried prolonging a diaper change by playing in her big girl bed. She's a busy body!

Going Shopping

I guess that's what Ainsley thought she was doing when she grabbed three shopping bags, her sippy and her fridge farm and marched through the house. Then she got bored and just played with the bag.

Boo!

That's what Ainsley says when she pops up from behind things!

Mommy's Little Helper

Ainsley came down with an obsession today...wiping things. Where this suddenly came from, I have no clue. It began this morning when some milk dripped out of her sippy on to the rug. She jumped up, grabbed my sweatshirt out of a chair, drug it across the room and wiped the milk up with it. Later I dripped some sauce on the kitchen floor. She pulled a kitchen towel off the hook and proceeded to wipe it up. She's even been grabbing wipes and trying to wipe herself during diaper changes. All day she's been asking for wipes and wiping down furniture, the floor and even trying to clean her own nose. I hope these good habits keep up.
