The past weekend was wonderful. We only had one thing on our calendar all weekend and that was Ainsley's 6 month pictures Saturday morning. We headed to Washington Park in Springfield for those and the sun came out just as we got there. I think we got a few good shots and can't wait to see them. Of course we needed diapers so I ran into Babies R Us and then we went to Bob Evans (Joel's choice) to grab something to eat. We took her bumbo seat in with us and everyone around us just watched her while she played in her seat while we ate. A couple stopped by our booth on their way out to let us know how good and cute she was. She really is a good baby and isn't one that cries in public (not yet anyway!) She's too nosey to be in a bad mood and restaurants are just the place for her with all the hustle and bustle going on.
The rest of the weekend consisted of laying around the house. We rented a few movies and grilled out. Saturday night we went down to the basement, which we don't do very often now that Ainsley is here, and watched a movie. Those are the nights that I dreamed of for so many years! Ainsley fell asleep on my lap while we watched the movie and was completely limp. Her little body didn't move when I got up from the couch to carry her upstairs to her crib. She snuggled a little tighter when I got to the top of the stairs and didn't wake up when I gave her kisses good night. That hour of relaxing and not worrying about a thing was probably the highlight of my month. It was needed!
We've had trouble getting Ainsley to eat and Friday night she finally started taking her bottle. She loves baby food and I think she would eat it all day if I would let her, but she hasn't cared for her bottle for the last month or so. She's back to taking 6-8 ounces at a time and I couldn't be happier. Check out this video and you'll be able to see how much she enjoys her baby food! She's always "mmmmm'ing" while she eats. Of course, it would probably help if I put the tray on the highchair, but she reclines back while she eats and has to have her legs propped up.
Ainsley's been really into Joel for the last week or so. If he's in the room, she has to stare at him. She waits for him to look at her and will smile when he finally does. She loves it when he gives her his attention, but me on the other hand, not so much! She's definately Daddy's Little Girl! Here's a few videos from the past week of Daddy and Ainsley playing. I caught the tail end of this giggle session one night, and she loves it when Joel gets her belly as you can see here.
She's starting to notice everything around her. If there is anything within arms reach, she has it in her hands. We've tried to get her to roll over by putting toys just outside of her reach, but she'll twist her body around and reach for them without rolling over. I'm thinking she'll be rolling over in the next few weeks, but we'll have to wait and see!
