Ainsley and Lambchops #1 and Lambchops #2
The story of why she has 2 lambs: Last year, one of my students gave Ainsley Lambchops #1 at my class baby shower. Well, this past Easter I saw the same stuffed animal at the store and decided to buy a backup (actually 2 backups). I knew Ainsley was very attached to the lamb and people kept telling me if one got lost or too grubby, it would be good to have a backup. So we keep one in the crib at all times and the other one downstairs to play with during the day. Sometimes both make it downstairs though. But she doesn't seemed puzzled why there are sometimes two lambs that look identical. Notice she has unpicked the mouth on both of them. We keep Lambchops #3 in the closet so it doesn't get dirty at all. I only wish I had backups of her doggie. That is the stuffed animal she is mostly attached to, and it has already had to be stiched up twice. I think it is going to fall apart soon and there will be nothing we can do to replace it:(

Well, it is official. Ainsley is finally walking on her own! It took a month since her first few steps, but she is now pulling away from furniture and walking around the apartment instead of crawling. We are excited for her!

Ainsley loves the laptop, anytime it is out she gets really excited because she thinks she is going to skype with her grandparents. She loves to touch the keyboard and mousepad. She also loves to look at pictures on Tom's iphone now too.

I realized today that this week is one year from my abdominal surgery to remove my tumor. I had 65% of my liver removed, galbladder taken out, a blood transfusion, 3 tubes in me, and 38 staples. It took about 3 months to get over and a 9 inch scar, but I feel great now. I feel so blessed that everything worked out and that I feel better than I have in a long time. Thanks to everyone who helped me during that difficult time. I was truly blessed!
