Go Bananas!

Ainsley LOVES bananas, which is odd because when we were making her homemade baby food, she refused to eat them. But times change, she's broadened her tastes and now she's obsessed with them. If you carry her in the kitchen and she gets a view of one on the counter, she will chant "nana" until she gets it. Her real Nana wonders if she's got the two confused, but I assure you she loves both nanas...the grandmother and the yellow fruit version. This morning she quickly polished off her banana at breakfast and then had an all out tantrum when I would not give her another one. It was so bad I probably would have given her more if I had one, but she had just finished the last one. Here's a picture of her as she was finally calming down over the whole thing, but still quite upset with me. Am I mean or what?

Multitasking

Ainsley also got a new potty today and she quickly began multitasking.

Strollin'

Ainsley's been pushing strollers around lately, so I thought she might like her own. Despite telling me "no," when I first asked her if she wanted to put her baby in the stroller, she pushed around her baby all night.

1 Month!

Amelia is 1 month today! It seems like we just came home from the hospital. She's growing quickly and is as sweet as her sister.

Eatin'

Ainsley hasn't been overly interested in feeding herself. I was told to just leave her with her food and let her do it...so I did. Despite how it might look, she actually did finish her cereal, minus the large amount on her face and bib. And as always she let me know when she was done.

Swingin'

Amelia loves her swing! She goes back and forth between checking things out and napping.

18 Months!

Seriously? 18 months...as in a year and a half old? How did this happen?! And she still wants to eat her sign...

Back Together Again

Ainsley and Amelia are back together again after only seeing each other on a rare occasion since Ainsley was sick. Ainsley picked up right where she left off hugging and kissing on Amelia. I've been trying to get Ainsley to call Amelia something other than "baby." Amelia is a mouthful for an 18 month old afterall. Tonight she started calling Amelia "sissy." Not sure how long it will stick, but for now its sweet.

Crossing State Lines

Amelia went on her first trip to Louisiana this weekend to pick up her sister from Nana and Papaw's. She also met her Aunt Michelle and GiGi who you can see she was quite content with.

Sleeping Piggy

Amelia had her 2 week appointment yesterday. We had a little shock when we put her on the scale and saw the digital numbers bouncing around in the 8's and then settling on...8 lb 7.5 oz! That's 1 lb and 5.5 oz more than just 10 days before at her first appointment. Very different from her sister who put on weight so slowly the first 6 months or so that we had to take her in for weight checks to make sure she was gaining enough!
