She MOVES!!!!

Well, it's finally happened. Ainsley has grown tired of her sedentary lifestyle - always laying around, sitting up in one place and being carried from car seat to high chair to crib. This morning, she decided to do something about it.



With a bit of determination (and a very "grabbable" cat as a target), she put one knee in front of the other, then one hand in front of the other, and motivated herself across the floor. At times, she looked a bit like a clumsy AT-AT, falling onto her side as if a deft snow speeder pilot wrapped his trip wire around her legs.

Ainsley's 6 month checkup...at 7 months

Ainsley had her six month checkup today. She's 16lbs 6oz (48th percentile) and 28 inches (95th percentile) . The doctor is very happy with her growth and says that she looks great. We've got the go-ahead to try more fruits and veggies and even some meats! She got 4 shots today and one oral vaccination and handled them all with just a few tears that disappeared as soon as Dave could pick her up. She's such a little trooper!

She's getting her left bottom tooth in and it's almost fully in...doctor says in the next day or so it will stop bothering her. Right now that's the only tooth that's coming in. She's been a little fussy but all in all she's been great with her first tooth.

Here are some pictures from today.

Ainsley's first football game!

The three of us went to see the Cardinals handily beat the Bills today. Ainsley had a great time and the noise didn't seem to bother her. We even bought her an Edge jersey so she could fit in. My next project is to find a matching bow for her hair so people stop calling her a boy...

The last picture is the refection of her in the mirror in her carseat. All the cheering she did for the Cards wore her out!
