Ainsley & Arabella About Town: 6/10/07

Morning Hair & I've Learned to Pull Up

This is my crazy morning hair!

I'm still not quite all the way awake yet. Which way to the dairy bar?

Look at this! I've learned to pull myself up! Mommy and Daddy have video of me doing it too. I also got new sandles from Daddy that I'm wearing in this pic.

Upside Down

The world looks very different from upside down. I have discovered that everything truly does belong right side up. Though I know that will not stop be from dumping cups of water upside down or other things. I giggle a lot when Daddy holds me upside down. Someday, Mommy says I can hang upside down from monkey bars when I play at the park.

Nana Gave Me A Sunhat

Nana gave me this sunhat and matching outfit.

My Bonnet

Bubbles

Someone at church said I look like an American Girl doll in this bonnet.

Me and my daddy!

I'm so happy to be a princess!

Cousin Malachi Has A Birthday

This is the quietest I've ever seen Jacob!

Take me for a ride, Daddy!

Daddy's cousins Andy and Shawn and my cousin Noah are showing me all about the tractor.

Mornings come too early these days

Cousin Jake can dribble!

Cousin Noah

Cousin Malachi (the birthday boy) is learning to drive a tractor...He drove into a LOT of poles and trash cans that day! LOOK OUT! It's a good thing he won't get his license for 14 more years!

Noah: "I think we'd better make a run for it, Ainsley!"

Ainsley: "I would if I knew how to run! This guy is nuts!"

Jake: "Come on everybody, let's smoosh!"

A Girl & Her Fish

This fish is a regular morning treat for me. I usually eat it on Mommy's bed...

It is a rainbow trout, I think.

My eye lashes are getting very long...My fish does not have eye lashes.

It got away...I guess I'll eat it again tomorrow...

Feet are the next fun morning tradition...

Containment

Ainsley has been learning how to get around by scootching so we have had to contain her... The Pack N Play is now a regular part of our dining room decor. It is an ideal spot as from that vantage point she can see into both the living room and kitchen...making it much easier for Mommy to get laundry folded and dinner made.
