When she crashes ...

She crashes. The other day I put Ainslee down for her afternoon nap. Well after a few minutes fussing around, she pulled her shirt up to her face to show off her cute little tummy. On top of it, the smart kid is learning to roll over onto her side ..... So when you put her down for a nap .... this is what you get!

Ainslee learns to Razzzzzzzz

She cracks me up!! I've been showing her how to razz for about 2 weeks now, and guess who caught on ... Now I can't get her to stop. When we ask her a question, we get the razz!!! You go girl!

4 Months and Counting ....

Well Sunday was Miss Ainslee's 4 month birthday .... All I can say is dang she is growing. We took her to the doctor on Tuesday for her check up. She weighed in at 16 lbs, and was 25.4 inches long. So in 2 short months ... she grew 4.4 inches and gained 3 more pounds! I think what shocked both of us was the doctor said we can pull out the high chair for feedings!! HOLY CRAP she's a big girl now!! Happy Birthday Baby girl!!

Ta Dah!

Guess who is now 3 months old? AINSLEE GRACE!! The big girl is starting to smile more and more, and talk up a storm when possible. She's also found that her hands are tasty too! Happy 3 months Baby Girl!!!

Splish Splash!

Tonight I discovered how much our daughter loves to surprise us... Every time we think we've got her all figured out, she changes yet again!

Bathtime has never been a real big hit around here. Ainslee has finally learned to tolerate them, but by no means are they a fun thing for her. She pretty much just lays there til we're finished and she can holler about being cold. (Geez, are we mean mommies or what!) Tonight we were getting ready for her bath and had the bright idea of bringing her tub downstairs because (a) it was easier for us and (b) she never does anything to make a mess, right?

Ha! I'm pretty sure half of the kitchen was flooded... It took a big pile of towels to clean up the water. And she was so darned cute that we had to take a video to share.

(Sorry Annie, this is probably one of those things you'll hate me for when you're 16...)

The Best Present Ever!

We spent this holiday season in California with Melissa's family, which was a first for us. It was a special time this year and very bittersweet, with both the loss of Melissa's wonderful dad and Ainslee's first Christmas. We spent the majority of our time there just hanging out with family. Of course there was copious amounts of food and lots of presents to spoil us all as well!


Grandma Shonna officially takes the cake with the best present ever though! We used our Christmas cash to buy a digital camcorder - something we'd been drooling over for the last couple of months but just couldn't afford yet. We've been playing with it the past couple of days and having a ball and I thought I'd share with you yesterday's video. We're still learning how to do this - you'll notice half of it is upside down, ha! - but it's easy to see how this is going to become a serious addiction.


You rock Grandma!

Guess who is 2 months now ..

AINSLEE GRACE!!! And can we just say, my how she's grown. It seems everyday she just keeps growing and growing and growing. Last night we were having dinner with friends, when a little girl probably about 1 year was running and laughing through the restuarant. We both turned to each other and said "Not it". Meaning one of us is going to be chasing our little one around the restuarant here shortly ...
