Six Months of Ainslee Blake

Oh my word! Ainslee turned six months, um...a whole month ago. While I did actually take her six-month photo on her actual 1/2 birthday, I am so behind on blogging about it!

"Carl, you are too much."

"You alright?"

"Again with the ruffles.'

I took these a little too close to nap time...she wasn't in the mood for smiles.

Ainslee Blake's Likes:

• Kitchen utensils. Give this girl a spatula or turner and she's a happy girl. This is her version of helping mama cook.

• Making funny faces with her lips. This was by far the best.

• Sleeping with her eyes open. I've always been weirded out by people that do this. Now I have one living in my house.

• Playing with any toys that are not hers. She loves brothers toys. He sweetly (not really) gave her his least favorite Avenger to play with.

• Again playing with brother's toys. He was trying to do puzzles. She thought it looked like oodles of fun and wanted to "help".  Brother wasn't so thrilled.

• Getting into her diaper stash. She likes to get into the storage container and get all the diapers out, and unfold each of them.

• Swinging. I found a baby swing last summer at a flea market perfect for our campground swing. Little miss has a good time swinging with brother and sister.

• Inspecting teeth. Especially Daddy's braces. Maybe she has plans to be an orthodontist or a dentist one day.

Ainslee Blake's Dislike:

• When mama forgets to take off her headband before a car trip. This happens a lot. If brother or sister is in the car they save the day and remove it. However, poor baby is usually alone with mom when this occurs. In the picture below she threw a massive fit but eventually fell asleep. This is how I found her when we arrived at our destination.

"I give up."

• I have no pictures of the next dislike but, Ainslee isn't so crazy about her grandpas or uncles holding her. Although mama is proud of how much little A loves her, I'm not crazy about this phase. I know it's just part of that attachment issue phase, but I feel terrible for our poor family that doesn't get to see her that often.  

Now for some more pictures of this very fun, very chubby girl.

Checking out Sesame Street for the first time. She didn't look away for a good twenty minutes.

This picture captures her little personality right now. She is very funny and is constantly cracking us all up.
