Ainsley turns 2 Months Old.


It's hard to believe our little Froggy is 2 months old today. During this past month we have had a blast watching her every day grow and discover new things.

Our little "Milk Monster" is still eating as much as she can. The "Monster" is now a whopping 11lbs 2oz. She is starting to fill out her New Born clothes and we have graduated to size 1 diapers.

"Fun Time" with Ainsley consists of sticking out our tongues, the Gentle Giraffe, humming, and playing peak a boo with a blanket.

At the beginning of the month we noticed that she was becoming more aware of her surroundings. While Kevin's mom was here Ainsley started tracking things. A few weeks later and she's constantly wanting to sit up so she can look at all that surrounds her.


There has even been a few times she has gotten frustrated and all because she want to look around.
Because of this wanting to look at the world around her we started using the jogging stroller when going out instead of the carrier stroller. The first time we took it out I'm not sure she knew what to expect. But during that little visit to Target I kept hearing little coo's and "happy" noises from her. Last week we added the Maclaren to our travel accessories.

Ainsley's first outing with the Maclaren was when we went to Merrick Park to go shopping for Kevin's birthday. She loved walking around outside and checking out the trees and water fountains. It was fun to hear her come alive as we walked through stores. Her favorites stores to look at were Pottery Barn Kids, the childrens section of Borders, and Anthropology. Sad to say... She was not a big fan of the Banana Republic but hopefully that will change one day.

I love to hear her "happy" noises and see her smile. In fact I don't mind some days waking up so early for that first feeding because sometimes she can be so active. I call her my little morning person. I'm just thankful that the past two mornings have started around 6:30-7am instead of the 5am it used to be. And I just have to laugh when her little legs and arms start a moving when she's happy... It's just too cute! Her whole body gets into her enjoyment.

Ainsley's love for the swing has grown a bit this month as well. The time she will stay swinging has increased to 20-30 minutes. And there has even been a few times she has fallen asleep while swinging away. I love it because I'm actually able to get a few things done in that time... Including a shower. She's still not a big fan of "tummy time" but we keep at it. What has suprised us is her love for bath time. I actually think she looks forward to it every night and God help us if we run past her normal bath time.

During this month Nana Collins came to visit and Ainsley helped celebrate Zach's 1st Birthday, Manny's Moms 75th Birthday, and the future arrival of Jack at Alisha and Eric's Baby Shower. She also went with Daddy on his visit to Key West where she had her picture taken at the Southern Most Point and went shopping with Mommy down Duval Street.

We are so anxious to see how our "Froggy" will grow in the next 30 days and what wonderful adventures she will go on.
