2009

We are off to a great start in 2009 - So much has happened since our first big girl bath!

We had our 9 month appointment. I cannot believe that we are now 2, yes 2 months away from Ainzley's first birthday. The doctors visit was fine - only one shot. Not too many tears :) She is tall and lean, weighing only 17.5 pounds and measuring 27.5 inches. We had a short wait before the doctor actually saw us, so Ainzley decided to occupy herself...

We were given the go-ahead to start feeding her "off the table". So we have been trying new foods. I think Ainzley wants to be Italian. That is what she likes the best. Spaghetti O's are a fave. She also likes Alfredo noodles. She takes her food very seriously :)


She can be quite the jokester too...one of her newest tricks is biting the spoon before you can get it out of her mouth. Funny girl...



Oh, I almost forgot. Evan introduced her to the PopTart. She found a piece of it and helped herself. Needless to say, she would not give it up....

Our biggest accomplishment so far in 2009 is that we have mastered crawling. Ainzley is EVERYWHERE! And she is fast too! And she doesn't waste any time. She has already started pulling up on the furniture. Actually she is pulling up on everything - it is pretty much impossible to get her to sit down...even in the bath.

It's okay though - it makes it easy to pinch that cute little booty :)

Big girl Bath

Christmas Rocked! Ainzley got lots of cool toys - Campbell only tried to steal a few of them :) To name a few:

• a cool table that makes a lot of fun noises from Daddy
• A cool CPK (Cabbage Patch Kid) named Bernita from Grita...We might have to do a name change.
  
• a cool musical top from Beck
  
• a pooh phone with a light up honeypot antenna from Melva and Omar.
  

But one of the best toys she got was from Campbell.
She got some really cool "Little People". She even got a set for the tub. She has graduated out of the baby blue tub to the real deal. She had her first big girl bath in the big tub. She LOVED it! Check her out...


Then check out the video...Quack Quack Quack!

Turkey

It was our first Thanksgiving! We spent the whole time in Austin with Auntie Poopsie and Uncle Al...and of course Campbell. We had a great time! It was not without stress though. Ainzley had an allergic reaction to something Tuesday before we left. Broke out in hives and the whole deal. So of course that gave me something to obsess over all week. It didn't seem to bother her much - she was still in her wonderful mood. Although we pretty much all have digital cameras and iphones, I do believe this is the only picture that got taken...

smallest billy goat gruff

Well I am a little behind...I have been meaning to put up or Halloween picts for a couple of weeks now and just haven't got around too it. But I think Renee's blog deserves a rebuttal...But first, check out what a cute goat she is:

Taking pictures was quite an experience. Although they were both cute as can be, they were not very cooperative. Well one more than the other...Campbell was in her cute little bee costume and would simply have no part of the goat. Quite frankly she would have no part of being told where to stand, sit, or pose. Renee prides herself on being the 'Queen', but it is quite obvious Campbell is the Queen Bee.

This is the one picture we managed to get of the both of them...Way to go Zeke (photographer)!

LIttle Inchworm

Well I have a couple of things to add to our blog. First, we now have a tooth. Yep. One big tooth right in the front on the bottom. She won't let you see it, but you can feel it - I mean if you are willing to put your finger in her mouth. haha

The other really funny thing is Ainzley's crawl. No she can't actually crawl yet, but she has your own way of moving around. She does what I call the inch worm. There are really no words to describe how she does this. You just have to see it...so check out the video! (She lays on her back and uses her legs to push her around - like an inch worm) Poopsie (renee) thinks it is hilarious. But you really have to see for yourself. Too cute.

You dirty dog

Every time Ainzley takes a bath Earlene is soooo annoying!!! She tries to climb up to see what is going on in the tub... So Haylie tossed her furry butt in!!! Neither Ainzley nor Earlene cared all that much. Until Ainzley started splashing,then Earlene bolted!

First stroll

Ainzley had her first ride in her stroller. Much overdue I might add. After a couple of shopping trips me and mom decided that we were tired of carrying her heavy booty around - are arms felt like they might rip right out of our sockets. She loved her stroller anyway :) It was a win win situation...
