Sitting up and rolling over!

What a weekend!  Ainsley is now sitting up by herself and she rolled over for the first time tonight.

She's been sitting up pretty good with the aid of her boppy pillow for the last couple weeks, but she can now sit up for half an hour or so at a time completely by herself.  Granted, you can't leave her because she still flings herself backwards or occasionally face plants it, but all in all, she's getting to be a pro.

She rolled over for the first time tonight after her bath.  I always get her dressed on the kitchen island after her bath and stick her on her belly to put lotion on her back.  I put her on her belly tonight and she started reaching for her bumbo seat that was behind her.  I yelled at Joel and said that she was really trying to roll over and I had to move the towel up a little bit so she didn't go off the island if she did decide to roll over.  Sure enough, she got her chubby little leg up and over and that was it.  She rolled over onto her back!!!  We couldn't believe it.  Uncle Tanner was able to watch it all too.  Dad had just gone to the bathroom, so he missed it, but me, Joel and Tanner watched her do it.  I was so proud of her!  Of course, she wouldn't do it again for us. 

Grandpa Bill took Ainsley out to swing this afternoon.

We had a pretty busy weekend.  I ended up working late Friday night, and Ainsley likes to sit on my lap while I work.  She loves the computer, mouse, keyboard, etc.  She helped me get the final payroll out Friday evening!

Thomas and Jamie spent the night Friday night and brough Avery along with them.  Ainsley was asleep by the time they got here, but Saturday morning it was funny to see Ainsley and Avery together.  Avery didn't like it when Ainsley played with her toys and would take them away from her.  It cracks me up because they both just sit and stare at each other!  I got a bow in Avery's hair, even though she wasn't thrilled about it at first.

I don't think she's used to bows in her hair, but forgot it was in there after a few minutes!

Josh and Kathleen met us Saturday morning with the boys to head to the parade.  All four kids were really good all day.    We only had one small injury all day and that was from Augie falling at the front door and getting a little bump on his head.   It didn't phase him, though.  He was back playing in no time.

We were able to get together with Lou and Alaina this weekend, and they got a little practice putting pajamas on Ainsley.  I should have timed them to see the difference in time between now and after they've done it a million times after Hadlee comes! 



Aren't they done yet, Mom????
