New Shoes!

Ainsley got some new Nike's and she just loves them. Here is a little video of her breaking them in!

16 Months Old!

Here are some pictures of Ainsley from the last month or so. She is so much fun and keeps our house very lively! She is very active and jabbering all the time. Her favorite words are bye-bye, nite nite, hi, more, ball, momma, dadda and whole lot of "conversation" that seems to make perfect sense to her, but not to us yet! She really jabbers like she means it though. It's pretty funny. She has developed a new love for Lucy our cat as you will see in some of the pictures. Lucy appears irritated in most of the pictures but she is usually purring when Ainsley lays on her and often comes and sits right next to Ainsley while she's playing so Lucy is a glutton for punishment. Ainsley also loves to share her blankie with kitty. Her newest trick is starting to head up the stairs and she proceeds to tell us "nite nite!" when she is ready to go to bed. Ahhhhh, the beauty of having a kid who likes to go to bed when it's time! Ainsley still loves to read her books and she reads with us every night before bed. There was a special guest reader at day care today and she was so excited about it she climbed on the reader's lap and helped them turn the pages! She is a spunky little thing and we love her!

Full of Spunk

Ainsley just turned 15 months and she is keeping us both busy! She now says momma, dadda, Staci (favorite girl at day care), ball, milk, more, baby, hi, bye, night night and she's trying to say kitty too only it's more like diddy. Close enough! She is toddling all over the place and is becoming quite the climber on the couch, over top of us and up the steps. She can point to her head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, belly, and feet. Our favorite is when she pats and rubs her belly. She loves "playing" with Lucy (we're not sure Lucy appreciates the time as much), watching cartoons in the mornings, playing with her new Little People toys and of course having us read books to her. She is up to 16 teeth now too! Maybe by the next time I update the blog she will have decided that letting us brush her teeth is fun, not torture! :) As we got a little break from the cold winter weather this week, we are looking forward to spring and all the new adventures it will bring.

Too cute!
