7 Months Old

Ainslee is seven months old today! We have been so busy this month, that the time has just flown by. This has been a month of exciting new milestones in Ainslee's life. She had her first plane ride, first vacation, first time out of state, and first visit to the Doctor for something other than a "well-baby" all during the first week of June on our trip to North Carolina :) While we were in Kerrville for 2 weeks, Ainslee had her first real taste of baby food. After a few tries, she began to love it...she has tried squash, carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, and bananas. So far, squash is her favorite. She also learned how to spend a long time away from Mommy, while I was working on the house. She loved spending time w/ Grammy during the day, but Mommy really missed her! Also while we were in Kerrville, Ainslee cut a tooth! And the next day she cut another one! The bottom, middle two teeth are about half way out already. Thus began the next milestone....she is now completely bottle fed :) In just the past couple of days, she has started to pull up on things. She still needs a little bit of help, but is already crawling and diving all over our laps. The wonderful Bumbo no longer contains her, but she still loves her walker. When she is on her play mat she will try to crawl to get a toy, but so far she can only go in circles or backwards. This frustrates her to no end, but I think she will get the forward motion pretty soon. She is pretty strong willed and determined, hmmm....I wonder who she gets that from :) She is just as smiley as ever and loves to be out and about. She is quite a people watcher and loves to give big grins when someone looks her way. We have loved seeing her personality come out even more this month and are looking forward to seeing what's next for Ainslee.

Grammy decided pouring worked better than the spoon :)
