4 Months Old

Miss Ainslee turned 4 months old today! This is the age of several new milestones: she is now old enough for rice cereal (yum?) and ExerSaucers . She has her 4 month check up with the doc on tuesday, so we will see if we get the green light on the cereal. As for the exersaucer, well I went to Target today in hopes of buying one. As it turns out those are some dang expensive little pieces of equipment. She got a couple of shirts instead :)

Here is a pic of what I was looking at. $80 - yea right! So, the search on Craig's list has begun.

And here are a few crazy faces from my 4 month old little girl

Notice the drool :)

Cheese!

Just chillin' in my "jorts"(jean shorts)

Vintage Baby

One of my favorite things since Ainslee was born is to dress her in my old clothes; I just have a thing for classic smocked dresses! My mom is by no means a "pack rat," but she did save just about every piece of clothing, toys, blankets, diapers (unused), pacifiers, etc....that my sister and I ever wore/used! Going through the boxes of clothes was a lot of fun, and below is one of the classic outfits we found. That's right, it's a 1980's Baby Lacoste sunsuit, in perfect condition I might add. I am also not sure if its just the sudden absurd amount of humidity or if Ainslee is starting to get some curl in her hair, apparently the left side is a little more curly :)

Movin' On Up!

Well Ainslee has had several milestones this week. She had her first sit in a Bumbo (yes, I know I used to be opposed to them, but any new baby containing apparatus is necessary when trying to cook dinner/go to the bathroom/put in a load of laundry). She officially outgrew her baby bathtub. She was getting pretty scrunched, and it made it hard to clean all her little thigh "rolls" :) She has also discovered that she can move. She started out just going in circles on the playmat, but now she digs in her heels, arches her back, and away she goes...off the playmat and onto the carpet. I guess you could call this move an upside down inchworm? If/when she ever decides that being on her tummy was enjoyable, she might be all over the place!

I think she likes it!

She and all those toys started out on the middle of that mat
Maybe a future dentist?

Spring Break/Easter

Sorry, the pictures got a little out of order

Happy 1st Easter!

Bath in a bucket- she loved it!

Reading w/ Daddy

Jason was on Spring Break last week so we decided to take a trip to my parent's cabin near Garner State Park. We went to Kerrville on Saturday to celebrate Lauren's birthday and then followed my parents to the cabin on Sunday. We stayed a few days and enjoyed life on the river with no TV and phones. Jason had a blast clearing cedar with a chain saw on the property (I'm being serious) & I know my mom thoroughly enjoyed all the "baby time." Ainslee did great with all the fresh air. She took wonderful naps & seemed quite content the entire time. On Easter Sunday we had my parents, grandparents, and Jason's parents over for a big brisket dinner. We had a great time and enjoyed being surrounded by family.

More visits!

Tummy time (she hates it actually)
Baby Feet

Today Jason's dad, grandmother, and brother came to San Antonio. They stopped off at Jason's school to bring him lunch and say hello, and then came over to our house to see Ainslee and have lunch. His grandmother (GG) and Travis hadn't seen Ainslee since Christmas, and they were amazed at how much she has changed. Once Ainslee woke up from her nap, she enjoyed talking and smiling at them. Since Jason's parents have (and LOVE) horses I dressed her up in her pink pearl snap shirt w/ horses on it and her blue jeans. I can't wait to get her a pair of pink cowboy boots :)

Auntie Lo (aka Lauren) came to visit Ainslee today since she is on Spring Break. We went to lunch at Pei Wei and did a little shopping. We had a short but sweet little visit, and Ainslee enjoyed getting to spend time with her aunt.

3 Months Old!

Going to town in the bouncy seat

Ainslee is now 3 months old! This weekend Jason and I went to see The Phantom of the Opera (a wonderful b-day present from Jason) at the Majestic Theatre. Jason's parents came and stayed with Ainslee. It was the longest I've been away from her, but they said she did great. Next step-church nursery. A few of her new favorites include: sucking on her hand, fingers, and trying to suck on both hands at the same time. She is also a big fan of her bouncy seat, going on walks, and country music-yes, Texas country music specifically. Jason has a Texas Country CD that she loves, she will actually start crying in the pauses between songs. If anyone knows how to make a CD that has no pauses we would be grateful :) She is now sleeping around 10 hours at night, but I am afraid the blasted time change this weekend is going to throw a kink in that schedule.
