Friday fun

Ok, so it didn't begin so fun. I made a yummy upside down apple pie for the party we were going to and as I was flipping it onto the plate, it slipped right through my hands and fell (while still in the glass pie plate) right smack on my foot. I just knew that underneath the pie mess I would find my big toe hanging by a thread since the glass shattered all over my bare foot. But...I'm fine. The pie wasn't.

Later that night we dressed up and headed to the party. Jeff and I were throwback (he was FFA president and I was a cheerleader) and Ansley was candycorn. I made another apple pie after the first catastrophe and it was great. The party was so much fun...lots of food and Rockband. I'm posting the video of our friend rocking out on the guitar. HILARIOUS! He's got to be sore today!




That's my pie mess all in a plastic bag in the sink. NOT fun to clean!

One busy little girl

Making sure Grandpa did a good job building my crib.





My hand with Daddy's.

It's so difficult to take pictures of Ansley now that she's all over the place. I took a million yesterday and got a few good ones.

Crawling...for real

Ansley was cracking me up tonight because she was chasing our Cocker Spaniel, Molly, all over the living room. She just really wanted to grab Molly's feet. But, Molly was having none of it. Little does she know, it's just beginning. Please ignore how shaggy she is...I haven't had much time to groom her with a six month old occupying my time.

Trying to crawl

I finally got video of Ansley trying to crawl. She's getting more coordinated each day. CAN'T believe it!

Visit to pumpkin patch

Let me just say that the little trip my friends and I planned to the pumpkin patch (I know it's not really a patch, but it's the closest we could find) was not as easy as I had envisioned. All Ansley was interested in was licking the pumpkins and shoving her mouth full of hay. I didn't get a single photo of her smiling at me. But, I think she had fun with her friends.

Busy, busy, busy

That's what we've been these past couple of weeks. We've taken Ansley to a wedding outside of Waco, home to our parents, and to the State Fair of Texas. I've posted a few photos of our fun.

Ansley has also been busy learning to pull to sitting on her own and has even started crawling a little bit and is trying to pull up on furniture. It's funny how new milestones come in bundles. Her daddy had to lower the crib last night because I think she would climb right out of it if she could. We've had a really rough few nights without much sleep. On top of all of the new tricks, Ansley is also teething and it has made her VERY irritable. She's chewing on anything that will fit in her mouth. She's napping right now and I should be too, but I know that our family really likes looking at new photos. I'll post some more soon of our trip to the pumpkin patch.

The aftermath

So here's what Ansley looked like after eating her chicken noodle dinner with sweet potatoes and corn tonight. I didn't even bother cleaning her up with a wipe...just straight to the bathtub. She also got to sit in the tub without her baby tub tonight for the first time and loved it!

What a mess that little girl is!
