Ansley's Debut

Oh my Ansley!  I LOVE this.  Her sweet voice makes me melt!!!

Ansley's wish

Mommy, I wish you were a boy, I was still a girl, you were little, and we could be married!

Pearly Whites

Ansley went to the dentist for the first time in July! She did great! We love Amy! Ansley wasn't to excited to see the dentist, but at least she got her teeth cleaned!

The real birthday

On Ansley's actual birthday, we ate lunch at Larry's pizza, and then went to the zoo. It was a perfect day! When we got home, she opened presents from us! Grammy and G-Dad stopped by to see the birthday girl, but she was napping.
Pictures from her party will come soon!

Happy Birthday girl with some pizza!

Big Sis got to benefit from the birthday celebrations!

All smiles on the carousel 

Ansley is all about babies these days.  We got her a swing/carrier, snow white dress, and a diaper bag set-all  for her babies! She also got a Dora for the bathtub.  Happy Birthday my sweet, precious, funny, 3 year old! 

Ansley's Party

We had Ansley's party at The Little Gym in Little Rock.  She had so much fun!  We did a Minnie Mouse theme.  This year was neat because she understood it was a party for her!

Her outfit was precious!  I'm hoping to get a visit in to Disney World and she can wear it there!  I had it made here! 

Waiting for the trampoline to blow up! 

The precious cake!  I had her cake made by Sanctified Cakes.  They are an awesome couple who donates to the mission of their church! 

Can't believe she is "3"   My aunts both were in, and so we had a little last minute get together at our house.  It was good seeing Aunt Jean, Aunt Susan, Uncle Buddy and the rest of the crew! 

Nana, Daddy Dick and the girls! 

This was the invitation.  I got it off of Etsy from here

Thursday Dates

I am really enjoying my Thursdays with my little Ans! We do a little shopping, cleaning, zoo visiting, and just hanging out! She's my sweet baby, growing too fast!

Imagination Station

Ansley is so into pretending right now! I love this stage. She pretends she is a cat. She pretends to take babies or animals off the pages in books. She pretends her babies poop and peepee in the potty. There is always something going on. Today she told me, 'me n babies on choo choo train mommy!' and this is what I turned to see! Did I mention that I love this stage!

Seek First HIS Kingdom

Ansley Sue was dedicated to the Lord the Saturday before Mother's Day.

She became quite the handful while patiently waiting on the other children! She jerked her bow/headband out and handed it to her daddy!

We were asked to choose a verse for Ansley. We chose Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Ansley, we want you to seek God's will in your life. There will be times that you have to make hard decisions. Trust in God to lead you in the direction he has planned for you. As much as we love you, we know God loves you even more!

Ansley's Party Pictures

For Ansley's first birthday, we just had her party at home. We invited family, and then Addison's 2 sweet, precious, friends, and their mother. Ansley enjoyed her day! I can't believe she is one year old! Where did the past year go! So at 1 year of age, Ansley was still a little, petite girl. At her 12 month appointment she weighed less than 20 lbs! She wasn't walking yet, and still scooting on her bottom! She was down to 2 nursing sessions, morning and night, with whole milk from a cup during the day. We started whole milk just a couple of days before her birthday. She was saying mommy and daddy, and using some baby signs. She was sleeping through the night, most of the time. She was putting herself to sleep at night, while sucking on her fingers, but still woke up one time most nights, but would go back to sleep after being comforted by her mommy!

I loved her birthday outfit! I bought it off of Etsy, and had someone make her bow to match. Of course, it was just starting to get hard keeping bows in her hair.

Oh how I love this precious, baby girl!
Ansley and Luke were just starting to interact. They played side by side with some toys!

Here are some of the guests fixing plates and visiting!
After eating, we opened presents. Ansley actually stayed with me, and "helped."

Here is G-Dad and Luke. I thought this was such a cute picture!
Little Miss liked her babies that she got!

After presents, we got ready for the birthday song, and cake...

Happy Birthday Ansley!

She looks interested in the cake!

No thanks, mom. Think I will pass on the cake!

OK, its my birthday! I guess I'll try it!

"GAG"

Not impressed!

After cake, or lack of for Ansley, several people went outside. We took some more snap shots!

Grammy, G-Dad and Ansley
Nana, Daddy Dick, and the girls

Overall, I think she enjoyed her day!
