Trying to get home

Checking out H's new lid

Guess What? Guess What? Guess WHAT!!!!?

Ainsley finally walked tonight. She was standing looking at her phone one minute, and then she just walked towards a chair. 3 steps. We were at the Abra PAB meeting. I was so excited! I have to admit, I don't remember when Harry first started walking. It was at about the same age, but he had been very motivated all along, so it may just be that it didn't come as a shock. This time it did! I almost gasped out loud! Less physical therapy for me!!!! And, it's just so cute to see her walk!
Ainsley has generally changed so much since she turned one. She seems to really understand teh world around her so much more. It's fun to watch!

Happy Birthday PopPop!

Drumming Drumming Drumming!!

Ticka, Ticka, Ticka

Apparently we do a lot of tickleing in our house. Ainsley's new and constant phrase is "ticka, ticka, ticka!"
Current faves include the purple phone from teh kitchen set that is just out of reach, cupcakes, yogurt, looking out of the front door, the Tivo remote (the good one), dolly eyes, pullinng cups and bowls out of the drawers, zippers and putting her head down to feign sleep when you saw "Awww baby!"
She also learned how to chalk on the sidewalk today.

A Quote from Big Brother

While looking at her 1st year photo book:

I loved Ainsley on the day she was born.

He also misses that warm, cuddly time in teh hospital with friends and family.

And Ainsley was so little and curled up. And you were holding her, and then you
gave her to daddy, and then I was holding her.

Big smile.

Harry still loves his baby sister, and I can honsetly say even when he is feeling needy or frustrated or bothered, he never blames Ainsley for any of it. He always looks out for her.

Update from babycenter.com

Your child probably thinks it's fun to push, throw, and knock everything down.
He'll give you a
toy as well as take one, and he likes games in which he can put things in
containers and dump them out again. This works well with blocks in buckets or
boxes and with small plastic containers, which he can nest inside one another.
He'll thrill to the loud sounds of pots and pans banging together, too.

Ainsley loves putting things into buckets, and especially taking them out. Drums don't scare her. She loves anything with a beat...or anything by Queen. I suppose it could be worse. Her favorite seems to be We Will Rock You. She even punches her arm in the air.
