Right around the corner...

Ainsley turns one next week. I can't believe she's almost one. This year flew by. She is still mostly crawling but she can walk. If you stand her up in the middle of the living room, she'll either just continue standing there or she'll walk to the nearest piece of furniture. Yesterday, for the first time, she willingly walked from one place to another. She did the same thing twice today. It's only a matter of time.

She had tooth #3 cut right after we got back from Mexico, but it's not coming out quickly enough. She's been pretty crabby and fussy lately. She's also being doing this weird (albeit fabulous) thing where for about a week and a half she slept from 7pm to 9am the next morning. I think I actually slept from 10pm to 6am two times without waking up at all. It's literally been since the early weeks of my pregnancy with Avery that I've been able to go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Just when Avery started to sleep longer and more soundly, I was already up peeing all night because Ainsley was on the way. Sigh. SIGH.

Anyway, I am being a cheapo and instead of taking Ainsley to the 'professional' photographer, I took her first birthday picture myself. I hope she doesn't hate me for not taking her to get her photos taken. I'm sure she'll wonder why...
