Dear Ainslee Girl

Dear Ainslee,

I know I wrote several letters to Lena Kate, and this one is just for you! I'm sorry it is delayed, but such is life with 2 children. You are ever so special to us. There are so many things about you that make you unique and I love each of them. Here are just a few.

I LOVE your crazy hair. It is long and still has a mind of its own. It sticks straight up in the back and I love it. I can't tell what color it is going to be yet, but I really think you are going to have great hair:)

First time in the Bumbo-not sure what she was thinking here!

I love that you make dreamy noises when you are sleeping and throw in a smile on occasion. You sound like a puppy dog having a doggie dream. I just wonder what you are dreaming about!

I love that you grin EVERY time I put you down on the changing table to change your diaper. Either you love that I'm talking to you or the feel of fresh air down there:) Speaking of grins, your is so cute, sometimes larger on the right side making your one dimple obvious to anybody that sees you.

I love you in jammies, they remind me how small you are. You love to pull your legs up and this makes you seem tiny. You play with your toes often..and how I love those long toes. Your feet are definitely a trait I passed on. Everybody comments how long you are and I agree, so when you are all balled up, I don't notice so much. I want you to stay my baby forever, and yet I can't wait to see what life has in store for you.

When you nurse, you like to rub your hand sweetly on my chest, and you eat, to eat, not for comfort. When you are full, you are done.

I love that you still grab your ears when you are going to sleep. When you aren't grabbing your ears your hands are always together playing with each other so sweetly. You like to sleep in the room with somebody during the day, if you wake from a nap alone in the room you do not like it. At night you are sleeping from about 10 to 5 or 6 am usually waking once to eat. Now that you can roll over you prefer to sleep on your tummy.

You are a pacifier girl but also really enjoy sucking on your fingers these days, and smack, girl, you can smack. Sometimes it is your pacifier you are holding on to and smacking, sometimes it is on your fingers.

You love to hold my fingers when going to sleep, you will grab onto them when I put my hand on your chest.

Ainslee, you are such a joy. You love your big sister already and she can quiet you if you are crying in your swing. You love to watch her and anybody else in the room. You know where everybody is and are very observant.

I LOVE your blue eyes. We don't know where you got them from or if they will stay but your have such big expressive blue eyes. You always look surprised.

Sweet sugar, I pray you stay healthy and sweet. We love you with all our hearts and complete our family so nicely.

Love,

Mama
