15 months... a Labor Day of fun!

Some recent stats...

* Ainsley is 31.75 inches
* Ainsley weighs 22.5 pounds
* She recieved her MMR, Chicken Pox, Hep B and Polio shots at the doctor, we are hoping that is the last of them for a while.
* 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.


We have been able to spend lots of time enjoying with beautiful weather with friends. Enjoy the pictures.

Earlier in the summer we had some friends visit us!
