making clouds, making music, crazy mirrors and rock climbing

while we were at the museum we checked out a few other sites too......like
weather wonders

we made clouds



we played lots of music

mommy is silly.....

i rocked out on the piano

took self portraits (maybe my arms should be a little longer to do this!)

me and mommy made 'split images'

checked out where all my blood goes

me and grandma got crazy in the mirror room

what it would be like if we were tall.....

climbed a rock wall
learned about ethanol powered vehicles
and rode in a tractor
thanks grandma for taking us to the children's museum! we had a lot of fun!! we love you!

meet bob

we headed out to the children's museum while we were with grandma and found this exhibit. it was a blast.....mom and grandma could hardly get me out of here. i decided that bob is pretty fun- and i may be willing to watch an episode or two in between thomas episodes. i said maybe....
we hung out here:

and tried really, really hard to get into bob's sink

and found this {with a real big smile} on top of bob's house
on a random side note.... does anyone know why bob only has 4 fingers?

she may be outgrowing this shirt....

i suppose compared to her brother she is a little peanut- but she's almost tripled her birth weight at a mere 5 mos- so i think slowly but surely she's becoming my "big" peanut. either way we're lovin every minute with this peanut.

she wears her rolls well, don't you think?

i love a sweet chunky baby- especially when it's my baby and i can take picture after picture after picture of her.... i may have gone a little overboard. but- oh well right- what else is there to do when big brother is napping??
{more feet}




i found my toes....finally- after months of searching!

this little gal has been trying and trying to get those tootsies in her mouth....and today she finally succeeded. finally. and she loves those toes. sometimes the toes get tangled with the fingers- but lets face it- as long as there is an appendage in her mouth she's good to go.

anyone else do this yesterday?

happy day after the superbowl! it was a fun time at my parents house as we watched the game, as well as that fun little mid-game movie preview. we couldn't get noah to wear the glasses but ainsley loved them.
33.365 (i'm stretching it on this one too....)

this doctor

32.365
this doctor (next to me) is amazing. this doctor is going to change a lot of people's lives. this doctor is the reason ains was born how she was. this doctor has taught me more in one year than i have learned in the last 5 as a nurse. this doctor will be missed greatly by many. thank you tami for everything- we are missing you already- keep in touch!

more project 365 catch up (in a random order??)

21.365- reading my new thomas book with grandma. thanks so much corbin for sending me the thomas goodies!! i love them!

22.365- a really nice day in january!
23.365- helping make lunch. now we help with all meals. should have thought about that before i started this little trend!
26.365- rolls look good on her, don't you think?
30.365- a nap in mommy and daddy's bed is always better
27.365- ains napping (finally!) in her crib

just a few updates

25.365- (i'm cheating on this one) for some reason 1/25 came and went and i took no pictures! i know- you are all surprised. we were in the car most of the day heading back from ia and i think i just forgot. but the pic is worthy of a spot. so there it is. and since it's my project i can change the rules as i need too..... right?
31.365- still no haircut..... we're learning to deal. i almost had to buy some no more tangles though
28.365 kind-of taking this {pain in the you know what} bottle.... thanks everyone for the suggestions. let's hope she can figure it out. 29.365- and we have another double ear infection.....

girls weekend!

ains and i headed to des moines for a "girls weekend"- well girls and babies. we had a blast with everyone- thanks for having us mcknight family! the babies played, we caught up (finally!) and had a great weekend. somehow we missed erin and baby beckham in the mix of pics?? it was great to see you gals!
