Kisses for everyone...

Grandpa Joe and Grandma Norma had a conference in Hershey Pennsylvania so we decided to drive up to see them. Ainsley had a great time in Hershey and a great time with her grandparents.

Enjoy the pics...

Ainsley loves Pepermint Patie.

Dadddy takes Ainsley on a more vigerous car ride (which she enjoys much more then the boring train).


In tribute to Sam (Ainsley's cousin)... she too loves Ketchup.

Some recent stats...

* We are considering weaning her off the bottle per doctor's orders.
* She LOVES cheese... mac and cheese, grilled cheese, cottage cheese... et cetera...
* She is signing more, bath, food, milk, want consistently.
* She is babbling many consonant/vowel sounds, is beginning to copy sounds, knows her name and we are working on one step commands with out gestures.
* School starts back for her soon, she'll be getting services from MSD, MCPS, Kendall (aka Gallaudet), and of course we will continue to make our weekly trip to Hopkins.
