Eli pictures

These were taken the other day...

Ainsley and Eli visit Santa

Ainsley wasn't so sure of Santa so we decided to make it a family picture. Eli was drifiting in and out of consciousness and was ok with Santa holding him.

Ho Ho Ho

Ainsley has started growing her beard for the holiday season.

Here are some pictures from tonight's trick or treating adventure. All in all, Ainsley did great!

Ainsley was pretty wide eyed all night taking in all of the other kids and their costumes. Towards the end of the night she preferred to ride in her wagon instead of walking so her Daddy pulled her though the neighborhood. She was a very good girl and kept her antennas on the whole time.

Busy weekend!

We had a very busy weekend which included a visit to the park and a trip to pick out the perfect pumpkin. The first image below is actually a video of Ainsley feeding the ducks (with help from her Daddy).

Our little athletic supporter

Ainsley was looking pretty nervous for the Bulldogs last Saturday when they were playing LSU. She hopes they play better this weekend against Tennessee. Very advanced.

Big shoes to fill

Check out Ainsley's new kicks!

Ainsley at the indoor gym

With the weather still way too hot to play outside, we've been checking out some of the indoor play options around town. Today we checked out the Chandler indoor play gym. Both of us are very excited for the weather to get a little more reasonable so we can play outside. Here are some pictures from today...

Ainsley's such a joker

We were lucky enough to be graced with The Joker's presence this morning at breakfast....

Ainsley's first dentist appointment

Today was a day of firsts and lasts.... Ainsley had her first dentist appt today and it went as well as could be expected. She has both her molars and her canines coming in right now so the next few weeks should be a little uncomfortable for her. The dentist said that the teeth she does have look great and her brushing habits are exactly what they ask for at this age. This was all very good to hear!

Today was also the last day for her Rolly Polly class. She made her teacher cry when she said "bye-bye" and gave her a kiss. We will really miss that place! We've decided to put her back in swimming lessons so she starts up again next Tuesday.

Here are some pictures taken today.

And so it begins...

I went to do laundry last night and look what I found in my washing machine! Apparently Ainsley thought her dolly needed a bath. I think the time has come to hide anything we don't want to find 6 months from now at the bottom of her toy box.

Ainsley had her 15 month doctor appointment today and I am happy to report that she is perfectly healthy. She weighs 20.14 lbs (20th percentile) and is 31.25 inches (88th percentile). She even said "Hi!" to the doctor when he walked in which made his day because (according to him) no one is excited to see him. She received two shots today..one in her leg and one in her arm. We were glad that we had the nurse who is a rockstar with the shots and they were over before Ainsley knew what hit her. We had a few tears but they stopped as soon as I could pick her up. She even made the nurse feel better by giving her a high-five and waving bye to her when she was finished. What a tough girl!

Smiley girl

I know these shots are very similar, but I couldn't decide which to post so I posted them all :) They all made me smile!

One small step for Ainsley, one giant leap by Mommy and Daddy

The Good Life

After a delightful repast of ravioli and pears prepared by my lovely, doting Mommy, I have decided that life is good.

Looking cute with a mouth full of apples

Next time I will wait until snack time is over to have a photo shoot.

Ainsley and her cell phone

Ainsley had a very busy day today...taking calls and pushing her bunny rabbit around in her stroller. She's down to one nap a day now so she has lots of time to chat on the phone and terrorize the cat.
