Baptism

Ansley's bracelet that her Great Aunt Carol and Uncle Robin gave to her, perfect for this occassion!

This is embroidered on the slip of her baptism gown, someday will become a family heirloom.

No description needed! Our happy girl!

Finally Awake!

I was finally able to get a photo of Ansley dressed and awake on this her 18th week birthday! Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Love my Lovie!

To get myself to sleep is summed up in one word... Lovie! I love his soft ears on my eyes! This is the view my mommy had when she checked on me just a few minutes ago!

18 Weeks Old!

Look at that smile! Her entire face changes!

This week has been an exciting one! Ansley turns 18 weeks today and has been very busy. She has gone from not really knowing what to do with cearal to opening her mouth for the next bite! It truly is amazing to watch her grow and change right before our eyes! She is loved beyond words!

Just Me and My Daddy!

Ansley and Daddy were playing before her bath last night. She sure loves her daddy! It is so funny, she gets this very special look whenever he is around! She has learned a new "tone"....called "girly scream" her ooooh's and aaaah's have taken a turn for louder! She was practicing this new voice in the above photos!

Library with Ella!

Today Ansley and Ella were the only two babies at the library! They loved the singing, stories and bubbles! This will be a weekly activity! The girls and their mommies loved it!

Ella was pointing to show Ansley the book!

Their faces say it all!

Ella turning the pages!

Ella was thinking, "your haircut looks good, but it is still sticking up, it's okay I still like you!"

Headed Out!

All snuggly and ready to go to the library!

Worn Out!

Mama, I like to sit up! I don't like it on my tummy!

1st Cereal!

Ansley had her first taste of cereal last night and again this morning! She did surprisingly well with it! At first she really didn't know what to do but seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly! Here are a few "action" shots!

....So Big!

We just got back from Dr. Cadle's office for Ansley's 4 month well baby check. She is growing like a little weed! She is 14lbs 4 oz., 24 3/4 inches long both of which are 75% of the national norm. Her head measured in the 90%! Lots of brains in that sweet little head. She got her 4 month immunizations, she cried but didn't scream! Daddy is a huge help with those, I tend to want to cry with her! She gets her first taste of cereal tonight....I am sure I will post some photos of that! We won't start veggies and fruit until her 6 month check-up in April! We are sending lots of hugs!

It's Monday!

We hope ya'll had a great weekend. Ansley enjoyed spending time with her daddy, it is great to have him home! Tomorrow we have her 4 month well baby check! I will post her weight and height. She is getting very chubby and long. Some of her 3-6 months clothes are already getting "snug"! Have a great day!

Story Time!

Ansley loves books! The sillier the better! She kicks and waves her arms for the next page! She thought she might read this book herself!

17 Weeks!

Ansley is 17 weeks old today! She is very ready to see her daddy! We missed him during his travel week! I am sure we will all be smiles upon his return this evening!

....and After!

Saved enough for the bow!

Before the "Do"

Whew!!!!

So relaxed she fell asleep!

My Fist Haircut!

One of the first snips! Ansley didn't care too much about what was going on, she just liked the taste of the cape!

Taking a small break from the action!

Yep...the "mullet" is gone!

I like spa time!

Ansley and Ella at the Spa!

Ella was thinking, "You really do need a haircut....just make sure you leave enough for the bow!"

My Friend!

Ansley loved all of the attention that her friend Catherine gave her! Catherine turned 3 in December and is the perfect age to love a baby!

Happy February!

Ansley has been in a good sleep pattern this week. She has slept through the night the past two nights! She wakes up very happy....mommy does too! Maybe we are back on track!?@*
