My Third Month

Ainsley got all dressed up to go to church for the first time. It's her very first public appearance.
I think any parent would agree the first time your child smiled at you (not the I'm gassy and I need to be burped smile) is a truly magical moment. From this point on, every smile she flashes at me simply just melts my heart.
This Thanksgiving Ainsley got to meet some of her extended families. Cousin Ellen was born only two weeks after Ainsley. They stroke up a friendship as they napped side by side.Ever since Ainsley's born, everyone wondered who she looks like more, mommy or daddy. The answer was revealed in the third month. She is truly her father's daughter.

The big difference between the third month and the two previous months is Ainsley became much more interactive. She started to smile and tried to imitate words. It is amazing to see how much progress she's made in such a short time.

My Second Month

This is one of mommy's favorite pictures. Daddy and Ainsley are catching up on some much needed sleep.
Doesn't matter how tightly daddy wraps her up in the swaddleme, Ainsley always finds a way to wiggle her arms out in the morning.
Mommy and Ainsley together. This is before she took a turn and starting to look more and more like daddy, much to mommy's dismay.

My first month

It's hard to believe now that Ainsley used to fit into daddy's one arm.

Ainsley loved to sleep on someone. Her arms were always by her head and her legs crossed. She must thought she's still in mommy's tummy.

Daddy likes to wrap me up nice and tight.

This is daddy's favorite picture. I've got a big voice for such a small person.

Going home

Ainsley liked the snugness of the carseat immediately. For many weeks, it was the only place she would sleep.

Ainsley got dressed to go home. Even as a newborn, she's always curious and looked around quite a lot. Mommy and daddy had no idea that meant many sleepless days and nights ahead.

Ainsley came into this world with a loud cry and full head of hair. Daddy swears that her eyes opened immediately. Mommy was too dazed to even realize she was out.
