July 4th @ the pool

rock & roll baby

Please note, this is from LAST week (6/26), and she's advanced a bit since then, but we've got a few doubters out there... see for yourself:

Jinx!

I know I shouldn't say this out loud, bt Ainsley slept through the night (about 11 hours) all week. As Harry would say, "Good for you, Ainsley!" Also good for Mommy & Daddy! ALthough, last night she went to be a little later, and got up a little earlier - the same bad habit big brother has!

I'm okay, you're okay

I was talking with some "neatniks" today that I've worked with over the years. I was at their office today, and it's one of those minimalist places were you can just think clearly. Almost like a yoga studio, it's so sparse and organized. Anyway, I was asked what I do with the kids during the day, how I manage, ... I explained that the house is a mess but everything else flows nicely. I was impressed to learn that when they had kids they followed the same philosophy- that other things are more important. Even though their kids are grown, they haven't gone back to their old ways. I thought she was exaggerating, but she specifically noted dishes in the sink, shoes under the table, toys everywhere, clothes on the floor...This is one of the most comforting pieces of information I've heard (especially after dealing with a baby shower this weekend on "Wisteria Lane").

Just Really Tasty!

Ainsley is on day 4 of eating "solid" foods. She's been through 3 days of rice cereal and today she started oatmeal. Maybe this weekend we'll start with some veggies! Fun times!
