Happy 2nd Birthday Ainsley!

Ainsley is 2! She started the day by picking up her birthday "crown" at the front desk at daycare. I took cupcakes to her class at school for afternoon snack and we sang happy birthday. The kids are taught in class to wait until everyone has their snack before starting to eat, but I'm fairly certain almost every child had put a finger in the icing before they were given the go ahead by their teachers. Ainsley wasn't shy and dug right in. I'm sure quite a few parents were probably annoyed with me when they saw their children's clothes this afternoon. Oh well! Then Ainsley left school early to run errands with me for her party this weekend.

When her daddy came home, Ainsley showed off her birthday crown and we loaded everyone up and headed to Chuck E. Cheese. I forgot my memory card in my laptop, but trust me when I say she LOVED it! We had a very tired girl by the time we got home. I will have to take her official 2 year picture later this week.

It's hard to believe how much she has grown this past year! Check out her 1 year post! Where did all that hair come from? She's putting more and more words together and will be talking our ears off soon enough. She loves taking care of her babies, checking on her sissy, dancing, Barney, and the dogs. She also evidently has a love of singing, or least making me sing any song I can think of (this is how we spent the car ride to Chuck E. Cheese tonight)...at least someone loves my singing. We can't wait to see what this next year brings us!

New Treat!

One of Ainsley's new favorite treats is raspberries! Yum!

Do You Wanna?

Do you wanna pinch her?

Geaux Tigers!

Excuse my loud voice! And I don't know what prompted her little end performance...but it was fitting.



















Unfortunately for this cheerleader, game time was later than bed time.

For Nana

Nana requested video of Amelia crawling. The first video is of Amelia trying to crawl on her hands and knees. Forgive all the disruptions in the second video (ie. Gabe walking in front of the camera, Ainsley walking in front of the camera, Ainsley sitting in my lap, Ainsley tapping on the camera etc).

Crazy Crawler

Amelia has quickly perfected the army crawl. Tonight she literally crawled out of her pants. She's already working on crawling on her hands and knees and she's already sitting herself up from her belly. We are amazed our tiny little 14 lb 6 month old is doing things so quickly!

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.
