It is all fun and games till......


This is usually how it goes at our house.

Ainsley at 3 months

Ainsley turned 3 months old this last Tuesday. She is a very good baby and is very patient and mild mannered, which helps since Esther and Henry are both battling the terrible 2's these days. Everyday she smiles more and makes us laugh. She is not sleeping through the night yet but is a great sleeper through all the screaming, yelling and chasing that Henry and Esther love to do. Here are a few more things about Ainsley.
Ainsley loves to have staring contests with monkeys and she usually wins.

She is perfectly happy hanging out on the floor kicking her feet.
She has the great and powerful bald spot on the back of her head. Rumor has it that if you kiss the bald spot you will have good luck.
Other than the bald spot she has lots of brown hair that has one spot right on top that sticks straight up.
She loves Esther except when Esther is talking too loud right in her face.
She loves Henry and he loves her except when she wakes up and we have to stop playing and come inside.
She still has her baby blues. I wonder if her eyes will stay blue or go brown like mine.

Pooling no Fooling


Since the temperature has been in the mid 90's for the last couple of days we decided it was time to get in the pool, kind of. This last Friday April 1st was our first swim day. The big pool is still a little chilly for the kids so I bought them a little pool till the big pool gets warmer. Michael, after cleaning the pool, decided it was time to jump in(see video below). Once Daddy was in the pool Esther and Henry got brave enough to jump in or jump to Daddy. We got a bid for a pool gate and to redo the yard. Now we just need the government to give us our tax return to make it happen. It is supposed to get colder as this week goes on and hit a low of 64 degrees by this weekend, I may have to pull out the long sleeve shirts again. But I am sure we will be pooling again soon. We are also looking at buying an under water digital camera, won't that be fun. Now I just need to sign Esther and Henry up for swim lessons. Ainsley is not featured in the blog because she was napping the entire time we were swimming.
