Happy Easter!

Ainsley had a GREAT time playing in the Easter grass for these pictures!

Random Pics

Haniging out with Dad. Chewing on her fingers and drooling is a new favorite thing to do!

Saying cheese for the camera with mom. I think Nick won when it comes to who she resembles more!!
Nick jus loves the fact that she has some Cubs gear. He is looking foward to when they can watch Cubs games during the day when it is summer.

Sitting with William, our friends Troy and Angela's son who was born one month and one day after Ainsley. He might be the only boy Nick would actually let her date some day!

Sitting Pretty

Here are some pics of Ainsley being a ham for the camera. The first one taken with her bunny was taken at 4 months old. Each month on or around her birthday we take a picture of her with her bunny. Now she is bigger and longer than the bunny and can sit up next to it! When she was a newborn that stuffed animal dwarfed her!
She is growing so fast --we just switched out a bunch of clothes in her closet so she's sporting a new outfit most days now. The denim bibs from Baby Gap (thanks Chad and Sarah!) are one of my favorite of her new outfits.

















Playing in her Bumbo seat and smiling at mom. Her idea of "playing" at her little Bumbo table is to knock all of the toys we put in front of her off the table or throw them off. She has a great time with that!

Roll Over, Roll Over

Ainsley has finally figured out how to roll over from her tummy to her back. It was more like a flop than an actual roll when it was all said and done, but nonetheless she did it! She rolled the other direction right after we took this video! Pretty soon she'll be rolling all over the floor.....

Ainsley is Ready for Summer!

Ainsley got her very first pair of sunglasses this weekend and she is ready for summer! Now......if only the sun and warmth would follow! She is going to be one hip baby this summer :)

Ainsley had a busy weekend. We went home and she got spoiled by her grandparents, relatives, and friends. She also met a new friend--Adeline.


Hanging out with her Grandma Lilli.


The Smith side of my family had a welcoming party/shower for us and Ainsley. She got to meet lots of new relatives and she was a good sport for the party!


With my cousin Carrie who helped plan the shower and get everyone together.

Ainsley with my cousin Becky--she was happy to hold a little girl since she has two boys.

Ainsley and I with Great Grandpa Smith. He was by far the oldest in attendance and she was the youngest. He guessed the correct number of M&Ms that was in her sippy cup. Looks like Ainsley might already be a chocolate lover just like her mom--she was reaching for the bag of M&Ms!
Nick, Ainsley and I with Great Grandpa and Grandma Smith.

Ainsley met her friend Adeline also--she is the daughter of our friends Jason and Lisa. Ainsley spent most of the time trying to grab hold of Adeline's hair and Adeline spent a lot of time "petting" Ainsley's head!

All smiles even after a missed nap during her party! She crashed on the car ride home!
