15 months!

15 months! I wasn't sure I would keep up with her monthly updates, but Philip and I both like that this blog is more or less her baby book. when people ask us when she started doing this, or when she reached such and such milestone, we are both like 'we will have to check the blog'. one day I will print all of this into a book for her. 

why is she so BIG?! 

weight/height:  weight: 22.6 oz 49% height: 30 3/4 in 61% OFC: 46 1/2 68% 

she got shots at the Dr today so she got a treat at Meijer when we went after her appointment 

she ate the whole cookie

size: she is in some 12 month clothes that aren't length restricting. she seems to be in between 12 month and 18 month right now because a lot of 18 month clothes are still too big on her.  still in size 3 pampers cruisers during day, side 4 night time diapers at night.  and she wears size FIVE shoes!  physical: we now have ELEVEN teeth! of course she has an odd number because she always seems to. her four molars are mostly all in (the right top and bottom still making their way in).  her hair is getting lighter and curly  still blue eyes, with long eyelashes  her bangs are always in her eyes, and she loves to pull her hair barrette out (she thinks its soo funny), so I have to put a little side pony tail in her hair

eating: her appetite varies from day to day. she will pretty much always eat fruit. or ice cream. and water. she loves drinking her water. her favorite snack this month are those little cheesy poof things.  she still takes 3 bottles of milk/day. lets see what the dr has to say about that tomorrow… eek! 

messy eater 

sleeping: she goes to bed around 730 and sleeps until 7-715 in the morning. she takes anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hour nap in the afternoon. she only takes her paci now for nap time and bedtime. 

new things: she has learned to use sign language for the word 'more' and does it well. we are working on please.  she dances around in a circle when you say TWIRL!  when asked, she can point to her toes, nose, hair and fingers. she can find mine and philip's belly button when we ask her to.  she isn't very vocal yet with her words. she says dada and happy-happy-happy (thanks nana). when you ask her what a cow says she says moooo. it's crazy to me that she understands almost everything we say, but isn't saying much herself.  she waves hi and bye when people come and go she is like a little sponge and just soaking in so much right now  when you ask her if she wants to go take a bath she runs to the stairs to go upstairs. still loves bath time.  she can play apps on my iPhone and her Nabi by scrolling with her little finger  when you say "how big is Ainsley?" she puts her hands up above her head  she loves playing peek a boo and hiding from you  she likes to hide things. stuff it in the crack of couch, under a pillow/blanket, etc.  she doesn't like to hold your hand and jerks it away when you try. very independent little thing.  she is the best hugger. ever.  she has become a fan of jewelry (thanks to her necklaces from Aunt Annie) and loves wearing her beads and bracelets 

"SO BIG"

crawling into everything 

this is what happens when her and daddy are playing 

and my favorite pic 

she is so proud and happy Jax is wearing her beads. Jax is not as thrilled about it…. 

and how funny is this picture? that is me as a baby on the left. ainsley on the right. all on her own…
