Allie's piggy bank

Ainsley taught Allie to put the coins in her piggy bank yesterday. The sheer delight on her face when she gets one in is precious!

So proud!

We had an appointment for Allie to get her 1 year shots (we are a bit behind!) today. She got 6 shots and is up to 19 lbs. 4 oz and 31 inches long. Such a big girl!

While we were waiting, Ainsley decided to write on the paper on the bed in the office. So darn proud of her writing. I had to help her a bit with spelling her last name, but the rest was all her!

Halloween

The girls had a blast on Halloween! Ainsley was a cowgirl and Allie was a cow. The theme was not deliberate, it just worked out that way...

Walkin!

Allie is on the move! She actually made it across the room this evening- she wanted to see what Ainsley was doing, but I did not have the camera.

Dance Recital

Ainsley's dance recital was last Friday. She did awesome! We were very proud of her and she liked being dressed up in her costume. It is so funny to see her all dolled up- hair curled & fancy.

With Poodle

Mom, Allie, and Grandma

and with Grandpa. Look at the sass with her hand on her hip!

Unfortunately, flash photography was not allowed in the recital, so I don't have any decent pictures of her actually dancing! Thanks to Aunt Kelly for taking all these pics!

Chatterbox

Ainsley has always been a talker, but lately you can't get a word in edgewise.

A gem from yesterday...

"Hey Mommy, this morning I was going to look up why the space shuttle did not go up when I was on the internet and print it so I could read it, but I forgot how to spell space shuttle."

Where does she get this stuff?

Ainsley's Art

She LOVES to draw. This is her and I playing together.
