Live, laugh and love

**don't forget to mute the music**


So I took this video about a month ago although, I have to say, it was by total accident. I actually missed the first few minutes of their interaction because I was not planning on taking it in the first place. I was sitting on the couch while the kids were playing and next thing I knew...they were playing together and laughing. I grabbed the camera and started to film but, like I said, I missed the first few minutes. It's just about the cutest thing. There isn't a whole lot going on but it is just really sweet and I had to share.

Playing, swimming, doctors and more!

My poor baby...day 5 with fever


His new favorite hobby...visiting his little friends


Put her outside & give her a slide...she's putty in your hands


Other favorite hobbies...climbing


He's my gentle little bull in my china shop


Ansley is having a "playdate" with her friends


Always happy...I'm lucky


Just out for a stroll


She is starting to get some crazy hair but I love it

The poses are not coaxed...I swear...it's all her


Mommy with her favorite sweet girl


She LOVES her babies


She was born ready to go swimming

She's always packing...a snack that is


Our first little ponytail


So I have some pictures that I have had for a few months but haven't put up so I thought I would just post a few. They are mostly from right before "summer" started but I thought I would get those up so I can start fresh with my new posts (because I have so many). Things have been crazy so far. We have been trying to stay busy with playdates and errands but it can be hard. It's so hot outside that the only way we can be out there is being in water...which would only make Ansley so happy. Ty went for his 9 month check up and is doing great. He was 21 pounds and 2 ounces but 30 1/2 inches long! He is 95% for height and 75% for weight. The doc says he looks great and is very healthy. He is crawling super fast and cruising everywhere and it's getting to be...interesting. Things are good though and we are just trying to make the best of each day. It is a little different with not having Ansley gone 2 days a week but it really hasn't been too bad. She has become quite the helper and really is starting to play with Ty more and more.

Outside!...her favorite word

So every night when Mike gets home from work...Ansley RUNS to him as fast as she can and gives him a great big hug. As soon as that is done, she takes off either for the door to go "outside" or she goes to get her "shoes, shoes" so she can then go "outside". It's funny because all day when she is with me...she might ask me once to go "outside" but never bugs me about it again but, when Daddy gets home, it is on and she is begging to go out. I think it's because she knows that she has her Daddy wrapped and she can get him to do pretty much anything she wants. Mike wanted to let you get an idea of what he comes home to so he had me leave the camera outside and he filmed as he came in. To be honest...I probably should have taken the video because you don't see Ansley hearing the key turn and the door open and you don't get to see her RUN like the wind to get to her Daddy... but you get the idea.

Ansley LOVES the remote control and knows how to work it and she also LOVES the phone. She will randomly call people without me even knowing. Anyway, I was able to capture her with the phone but I wasn't quite quick enough because right before I caught this clip...she was jabbering on the phone as though she was talking to someone. It was cute and I will try to see if I can get her on video where she is just having a conversation with someone again.

H..e..x..a..g..o..n!

So when Ansley was going to her school (AKA: Mommy's day out) she learned a lot of different things. She has really grown so much since starting back in September although I think part of it was just her just getting older. One of the many things she learned was her shapes. She has the common ones down such as circle, square, etc. and then also learned hexagon. Every time I go pick her up, they have a sheet for me that tells me what she ate, how long she slept, etc. and what she learned that day. On one particular day there was a note that said "Get Ansley to say hexagon"...so when we got home...that is exactly what I did. It was hilarious and I had to get it on camera. The funny thing is that every time I ask her to say it... she does the same thing and it just cracks me up.
