No shots this time!!

Luckily, the trip to the doctor wasn't that bad because there were no shots this time, only a finger prick (which she didn't like) to test for iron... which of course she needs more of :-). Here are some updates...

*Ainsley is 28 1/4 inches long moving her from the 90th to the 75 percentile.
*She is 18lbs 5oz moving her back up to the 50th percentile in weight.
*She crawls 2, 3 and sometimes 4 steps, and then backs up and sits on her butt!
*She is pulling her self up to a standing position, sometimes successful and most of the time not.
*She is eating more and more solid food.
*She had her IQ tested and her father was shocked that she was only average intelligence, he swears she's a genius.
*Appointments for her CI are continuing and we will hopefully have a date by the 2nd week of April.
*We think she understands the signs for "more", "food", "bath" & "milk" and we think she sometimes copies the sign for milk.

Here are some recent pictures. Video and pictures of the new place will come in a couple of weeks after we have settled in.


We visited the Botanic Gardens on the Mall. Here are some pictures of Ainsley exploring...







Thank you Christin and Courtney for meeting us for brunch in Georgetown. We had a great time!




Ainsley experiences snow for the first time!


I have teeth (6 of them, 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom). They are sharp!
