Dear Ainsley,
Wow!Boy Girl how you have changed since your last letter! Where to even begin?!
Just shy of 7 months old we visited friends in Michigan, and even though you were scooting everyway but forward leading up to that weekend, that weekend you scooted forward straight after their fuzzy companion! (The way you interacted with Buddy made me seriously question my no-indoor-animals mantra!) You giggled and scooted all across their floor to get close to that pup!
Then within that week you were crawling! Not the I'm-a-first-time-mom-so-I-want-to-say-you're-crawling kind of crawling, but a very legit, one hand then the other, moving forward kind of crawl! Amazing! You've yet to disappoint when it comes to your development.
And now, just 3 weeks after you started actually crawling, you are a babe on a mission! Just yesterday, you werereading playing with a book in the nursery as I left you to finish folding clothes in the living room. Before I knew it, there you were sitting in the [living room] end of the hall watching my every move! You've also become an amatuer couch/entertainent center/laundry basket surfer!
The only downfall of all this growth is the falling that goes with it! I'm trying my best to be hands-off in this area, and unless it looks like serious pain, allow you to fall of your bum and learn from doing. I want to protect you from all that I can, but this is one area that I know you just need to learn from doing. We'll survive!
In other news, you are Miss Chatty McGee! Da-da-da-da-daaa! If you want to call it your first word, go ahead, but Baby Girl we're just counting it as chatter! We don't refer to anyone as "Dad" or "Daddy" and all the baby websites will say that "dada" is [nearly] always a baby's first "word", so in our book, we're still waiting for that true first word, but in the mean time, we'll continue to talk right back as if you make perfect sense!
Last but not least, you now have two teeth! On April 5th, you bottom two teeth popped right on through! Aside from a little extra dooliness and a bit more gnawling, you don't seem too bothered by them. A couple nights you woke in a fuss for a bit, and Papa is convinced it was thanks to the toothers, but overall nothing compared to the horror, I was expecting! I'm not writing off the horror yet though, we still have 18 more teeth to go!
So because life has been busy and I've been trying to enjoy/capture the moment versus taking time to blog, the rest of your past several weeks is captured here in photos!
Your 1st--of many--State Wrestling Tournaments

You bring us such joy baby girl!
