Chatter Box


So Ansley can't stop talking!! It is so cute. I usually can get at least 2 or 3 words from her conversation. Just enough to say "Oh really!!" We had such a great weekend minus the storms that rushed through here. Saturday Ansley got to go swimming with Parks at the YMCA. Of course we got told not to throw our kids across the pool to each other.
Ansley has been playing mommy to her baby. My mom was holding Thomas and he started getting fussy.. meaning he started squealing like a squirrel. So mom started walking and shushing, suddenly Ansley had her baby and was walking around patting her back while shushing her baby. It was way to cute!!!
The picture above is her watching the wiggles on our bed while in her diaper and a fleece hat. She is already her own consultant.

Another weekend of toddler knowledge.

So the weekends seem to be flying by. Bob and I can't believe how big Ansley has gotten in 19 months. She is such a sponge. She is learning so much each day. She has so much to say every day. Most of the time we nod our head and say oh really. She gets so excited and continues her conversation. She has learned to say okay. She tells us something and ends it with okay. To funny. She has offically learned to count to 10, minus number 5.
This weekend we introduced her to the creek in our backyard. We can't tell if that is a mistake or a good move. Whatever it is she had a blast. Who needs a swing set when you have rocks to throw.
On Sunday, Frances spent the day with us. Frances and Ansley are finally at the age when they are starting to interact and really play more together. Caroline taught them how to dance together!! Now they are beginning to hold hands and be silly around each other.

Weekend fun!

Weekend Fun!!!!!!


As most of you know Ansley is not only obsessed with babies she is really into phones, which is partly my fault. We were in the playroom this weekend and she got the remote control and walked her baby around with the control to her ear while carrying on a conversation. It was extremely funny considering she looked like a wrestler in her undergarments. She is into telling us all about her day and what she thinks. However, for the most part we have no clue what she is saying. She just thinks it is so funny when we say okay and nod when she is talking to us. Then she just gets more excited and continues on. It is just amazing how she is a little person now at 19 months!! If you haven't been around her in the last 2 weeks you are going to be shocked at how much she has grown up.
Saturday is cleaning day. Ansley usually claps for me when I vacuum mostly because she is not sure about the vacuum. However this weekend I was using the big vacuum and she decided she needed to get in on the action. She is officially my new maid. She loved vacuuming the floor. I don't think you can consider this child labor??
Since it was such a nice weekend I decided it was time for some pictures. We took some in the yard and then after nap time went to the neighborhood lake and playground for some more pictures. Check them out.
