Happy (late) Birthday to our Nana and Ainsley is 9 months old!

As many of you know, we are big fans of our Nana around our house. We get to see her at least once a month when she so unselfishly comes up to watch our kiddos while Andrew and I go out for a "date" night. And then she will stay to help mainly me round the kiddos up before church on Sunday mornings which is definitely a task! She is always very supportive and we just love to have her around! I am pretty sure that Audrey has found a favorite family member as well - her Nana. Every time Audrey gets a phone in her hand whether pretend or real, she wants to call Nana. Nana doesn't always know this, but they have many interesting "conversations" from Audrey's end especially when she is just pretending. :) Happy Birthday, Nana! We love you and are so proud of where your journey with the Lord has taken you!

Nana came in town this last weekend and since she will be out of town for Audrey's birthday party this weekend - here they are exchanging gifts. (Nana also spent last week at Disneyland in California with our cousin Peyton and she brought back "ears" for each kiddo.:)

This is Nana with Ains and cousin Sophie who is 2 months younger and such a cutie!

Yes, Ainsley is 9 months old and so much fun! This past month was a big one for us.

• 2 new bottom teeth
• sitting up by herself
• clapping and "talking" tons
• holding the bottle by herself
• rolling and "traveling" by scooting on her tummy
• 1st ride in our jeep stroller and out of the car seat (yeah!)
• 1st and last RSV sickness
• 1st tumble off the couch - ouch! Not fun for either of us!
• 1st baby sitter other than family (thanks Ms. Sam!)
