What I know about my 4 month old

So I am totally stealing this idea from a few of my friends that have also recently had babies but it is such a good idea! It's taken me a little while to get it together but better late than never. So I have to say I love being a mommy! It is the best job in the whole world and I am so grateful I can stay home and be with Ainslee. So here I go...

1. Ainslee loves to be swaddled. She gets sleepy and fussy and we lay her down and start swaddling her and she gives us a big cheesy smile :)

2. When she gets tired she rubs her eyes and it is super cute!
3. She loves bath time, loves it.

4. We started feeding her some rice cereal last week before bed. She gets so excited when she sees the bowl. She kicks her feet and opens her mouth like a little bird lol it's adorable.

5. Ainslee is sleeping through the night! Well most nights. She sleeps from 9 to about 5:30 or 6 in the morning. I can't say how excited I am for her to be sleeping so well, and I am hoping this will last.
6. She is a chunk. We went to the doctor yesterday and she is 16 lbs 10 oz and 26 inches long, 95th percentile for both.
7. She is just generally happy, she is always smiling.
8. Ainslee is starting to be mobile. She can get onto her side but then gets stuck, when she's on her stomach she wiggles and gets turned around. I don't know that I'm ready for her to be moving just yet but I guess I don't have any choice :)
9. She loves her momma. I seriously can't be out of her eye sight without her making some sort of noise to let me know she wants me. It makes things a little difficult, but oh well.

10. Last one, she loves her daddy. She gets so excited when he gets home, she kicks her feet and tries to get to him until he pays attention to her. I love it and think it is the cutest thing ever.

 

This picture is a little old but still cute :)

Those are some of the big things that are important right now. She is just the cutest little thing and I can't get enough of her! I am so happy that I can be home with her and see her grow and change. I can't believe how much she has changed in 4 months. I also can't believe it has only been 4 months it feels like she has been with me forever, I can't imagine not having her. Here are some cute pictures that we have taken lately :)

 

We call these her crazy eyes, and I'm sure you can see why....she slipped down under the Boppy and was stuck there lol it was super funny.

Free Fishing Day

I have been a slacker at updating my blog and I have lots of things to put on here but for now I will just post about our latest adventure.

Last Saturday was free fishing day up here in Idaho so we decided to go up to Henry's Lake and see if we could catch a fish or two. We went there two years ago and didn't even get a bite so this time we went to a different spot hoping for better results but no such luck. In the words of Anthony we got skunked :) We had a really fun day as a family though and so it was all worth it. Anthony did catch a fish later in the day in a stream around Island Park. It was some kind of sucker fish though lol so he threw it back. We also made a stop at Mesa Falls which was so cool. It is a beautiful waterfall. I didn't get any pictures of it though because we just used the video camera, but it was really cool. Ainslee enjoyed hanging out at the lake, she didn't get to see her daddy actually catch the fish because the mosquitos were horrible! They ate me up in the two seconds I was out of the car of course but she didn't get any bites luckily. When we were at the falls she had just woken up so she was sleepy and not really noticing anything around :) It was a really fun day. I was worried that once we had Ainslee we would stop doing fun things (kind of a stupid fear I know) but I'm glad to say we still get to do lots of fun things now we just have another person to share them with :)

 

This was the lake
