Grandma and Grandpa Frank came over this weekend from Eastern Washington. We had a great time with them. On Saturday, we took Ainsley to the Seattle Aquarium. She loves to watch the fish in the underwater dome.


This is part of the salmon hatchery. These are a bunch of young salmon that are overhead.

Ainsley got very excited about this sea otter. She called it a kitty.

If there are books in the building, she will find them.

Trying on Grandpa's hat.

Poor Grandma was lead everywhere.

And once again, we had snow. We moved here to get away from it. This year has been pushing it.

Ainsley does enjoy it though.

I have brought a few throw away sheets of 24"x36" paper. We lay Ainsley down on it and trace her. Then she colors it in.

Snack time with a coloring book.

So we have had problems with computer for so long, that I was never able to get DVD's of Ainsley's first steps out that will change. So I have uploaded the first video of that day.

The other video is of the sea otter.

Over due update

I know it has been a while since our last update. We have had some technical difficulties. We got a new computer in November. Early this year, the new computer began to have issues. We now have a new, new computer and FINALLY have everything installed and updated. So here is an update.

We had even more snow. Ainsley built her first snow man and had her first sled ride. She also liked to pull the sled. The video at the end is her watching Daisy play in the snow.

This is her TV spot.

A couple pictures from Christmas… Ya I know it is March.

Already chomping on a mango pit. This is great for teething.

She does love her fruit.

Cuddling with Mamma and Dadda and watching Curious George.

Ainsley is a very good helper. Here she is helping Dad lower her mattress. She also helps wipe up messes, picks up toys, and brings peoples slippers, shoes, and coats.

The rest is all from toddler Gym that Ainsley and Dad go to on Friday Mornings. They have a long skinny trampoline, a pit with 8” foam cubes, and lots of foam pads of various shapes and sizes that they use to make an obstacle course. The first day she didn’t leave Dad’s side. The second and third, Ainsley has only looked for Dad when she needs help to get on top of something that is too big to be done alone.
