6 Months!

On Saturday, our baby girl turned 6 months old! She has gotten so big. She is turning over both ways and sitting up and trying to scoot a little so I don't think it will be long before she figures out how to crawl. She will NOT eat solids though. She clamps her mouth shut and I literally have to pry her mouth open. It's the weirdest thing. She still sleeps through the night and is a very happy baby!

And so it begins...

The first football game was last night and the Chargers beat Pearland Dawson 40-25! It was a long game because it was televised, but the kids were troopers. Colton got to run through the tunnel at the beginning of the game and was so excited about it. Ainsley took a little 15 minute catnap in the 2nd quarter but then was up for the rest of the game. Turns out she is a big football fan! Thank goodness! We are excited about football this year!

Mom's Little BFF

Football season is in full force. Two a days started last week and we haven't seen much of Charles. He had most of this weekend off but that will be the last in a long time! I am looking forward to football season and going to the games. It's going to be interesting with a baby now but we will be fine.

Ainsley started running a fever Tuesday so I took her to the dr. They did blood work and urine sample and it came back that she has a kidney infection. They gave her a shot of antibiotics and we had to come back the next day for a second shot of antibiotics. They sent us home with a prescription for 10 days of oral antibiotics and told us to come back in 8 days to retest and see if it's cleared up. We then need to take her to get her kidneys ultrasound to make sure no permanent damage was done. Baby girl hasn't been feeling well but the antibiotics seem to be working. We go back on Thursday so I will post more then.

Are you ready for some football?

We are! Today is the start of 2 a days which means I lose my husband for the next 4-5 months. :-( We had a nice relaxing weekend though. (His last one off for 4-5 months!) We cleaned the house and played with legos and took naps and just had FUN! Ainsley is getting VERY good at sitting up on her own. Here are some pics of our weekend. And I had to put the Cleo pic in there. When Colton was a baby, I got a picture of Cleo laying next to him and now I got a picture of Cleo laying next to Ainsley. They love each other! The one in the pink is Ainsley. (Obviously!) And, as you can see, my son never wears pants.

First Food!

I have been trying to hold off on feeding Ainsley real food because it's just a pain and I'm in no hurry. But she started waking up at 3:00 to eat at night so I figured it's time. We fed her rice cereal last night and Colton was very excited about it. Ainsley....not so much. She got better with it but I think she was just frustrated because she was very hungry and wasn't getting what she was used to. We will try again!

TBall 2010

Colton finished his first season of tball tonight. He had a lot of fun! It was a good little program for him. He learned a lot and I know he had a great time. They all got trophies and he is so proud of his. He wanted to put it on his dresser so he could see it when he went to sleep. Such a cutie!

Ainsley 5 Months

Ainsley is 5 months old already! She is doing all sorts of new things. She rolls over pretty well. She likes being on her back so she very rarely rolls onto her stomach but when she is on her stomach she will almost always roll over to her back. She grabs at things and puts everything in her mouth. She doesn't have any teeth yet. I haven't started feeding her solids yet. I am putting that off although I'll probably start soon. I got the high chair out. She still sleeps great although she hasn't been feeling well these last few days so she hasn't slept as well as usual. She is just such a cute, content little baby and we are so lucky to have her!

Brother/Sister Love

The bigger Ainsley is getting the more she is loving her big brother! She will just stare at him and smile. The bigger she is getting and the more mobile she is getting means that he can play with her more and he loves to do that. "Mama, can we play with the baby?" He always asks. "I think she needs some tummy time." He says. Everytime she does something new, roll over, grab things, laugh, he gets such a kick out of it. We put her in a new bath seat recently because she loves to push up and roll over so her baby bath was too small. She loves it because she can sit up and see her big brother and he loves it because it gives him more room in the bathtub to play! He loves his baby sister!
