Stepping Into 15 Months...


Happy 15 Months, Ansley! This month has been filled with lots of fun in the sun and new adventures. We have definitely been on the go this month, and like your Mommy, you've enjoyed every minute of it! You enjoyed your first trip to the beach June 26-July 2. You loved the sand, ocean, pool, water park and lazy river ride. We caught you chillin' by the pool just long enough to snap a quick picture...

We were so blessed to get to spend an entire week together at the beach with our family. You love hanging out with Papa, Mimi, Uncle D, Aunt Ri and Jack. They spoil you rotten!
While we were at the beach, Mimi taught you to push your nose while saying "beep beep". You continue to learn new words everyday. This month you learned 15 new words: shoe, two, boo-boo, hot, cheese, up, down, puffs, pee pee, eat, box, nose, belly button, and beep-beep! You can now point to your nose, ears, hair, and belly button when we ask you to. Mimi has the best success helping you learn new words. She is a good teacher! Here you are with our family at the beach...

This month, Aunt Ri and Jack came to visit and keep you while Mommy and Daddy had to work one week. Aunt Ri introduced you to your very own kiddie pool for the first time. She taught you to clean up your toys by putting them in the basket all by yourself. Aunt Ri also taught you to throw your arms up in the air when we say "Whoo whoo"...it's hilarious! I think you are Aunt Ri's favorite girl in the whole world. Now, if you could just learn to say her name!


This month, you moved up in the world...you got a big girl convertible car seat! We still have you facing backwards but you love the extra space, arm rests and cup holder! We enjoyed several "field trips" together this month as we ventured to the children's museum, the pet store, Unicoi Springs, the splash pad and the local fireworks celebration. This was your second time seeing fireworks and you sat in my lap and folded your arms behind your head and watched in amazement!



This month you fell in love with BBQ and pizza!


Ans, you play so hard during the day and sleep so well at night. This month, due to travel and less structure. you haven't taken your naps very well but you sure make up for it at night sometimes sleeping from around 8 p.m. until 9 a.m. Mommy really likes sleeping in with you during the summer!

Ansley, you have turned from a little baby into a precious girl. You have learned to obey and listen to Mommy and Daddy better this month. You love to play outside and dislike it when we stay home all day. You just stand at the door and jingle the door knob with your chubby little hand. Mommy loves to see you...fold your arms across your chest, sleep, read your books, and wave to people and blow them kisses everywhere we go. Daddy loves it when you give him hugs and kisses and when you find pictures of him around the house and say "Daddy". We think it's so funny when we ask you how old you are going to be and you hold up one finger and say "two". We also think it's cute when you sit on the potty and go pee pee in the potty and say "pee pee" before your bath. You are a ham and we love you oh so much!
