7 Months!

Miss Amelia is 7 months old today! It is incredible how much she has changed this month! She learned to sit up on her own, started crawling, learned how to sit herself up, cut her first two teeth and now she is pulling up! At this rate, she may be walking by 8 months (let's pray that doesn't happen, mommy's not ready yet)! She and Ainsley are interacting more than ever and I love seeing them make each other smile!

Like Father, Like Daughter

I wonder...

I wonder what she was thinking...

Maybe she was acting out on her baby instead of the friend at daycare who decided that Ainsley was so sweet she wanted a bite of her (note teeth marks and bruise on left arm) or maybe its just Ainsley's way of giving her baby a bath.

Picnic Birthday!

With the chance of rain predicted at 100% for party day, it was an indoor picnic for Ainsley's birthday! We moved everything indoors including the bounce house we got for her birthday. It squeezed perfectly into the living room and we squeezed everyone else into the rest of the house! Ainsley loves her new kitchen from Nana and Papaw and she also got an electric car from Grammy and Grandpa that we will try out soon when the weather clears up! Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

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!
