Exploring

Ainslee seems to be having so much fun exploring lately, now that she has a whole new perspective. She is even more into EVERYTHING, which I didn't think was possible. Poor Charley cat is also suffering from her new found walking skills. She chases him endlessly around the house, until he figures out that he can go through the gate and she cannot. She has a huge fascination with putting objects into other objects and trying to stack them, even if they don't go together. For example, she got a plastic teapot for Christmas and tries to put everything in it. She discovered plastic Easter eggs (she found them while we were getting out Christmas decorations and will not let them go) fit perfectly in the teapot. She is also having a blast at the park now that she can chase after big kids. She screams with excitement whenever she sees a little kid and does her best to keep up with them. This is particularly the case with little boys! One of the dads at the park actually noticed this and said that her daddy better get the shotgun ready now :)

Have I mentioned she LOVES black beans, and the five o'clock shadow they give her?

Ready for the park

Doing her sign for "kitty"

She got him cornered...

And gave him a kiss
