Our Future Gymnast...

...or flying squirrel

The best things in life are free!

Well, sort of. I did almost have to give my right arm in order to restock my paper goods and storage bag supplies at Costco. The upside to that is that they came with these awesome, state of the art toys for Anslie. She couldn't stop playing with...the boxes that the Ziploc bags and dishwasher detergent came in. Anslie liked to sit in the boxes and then get out and push them around the living room, then crawl on top of them. Very exciting.


PS- Anslie is running around "naked" because I caught her playing with her other favorite new discovery - the toilet cleaning brush. YUCK! Of course I ran into the bathroom when I realized where she was and almost puked when I saw that stinky toilet juice from the brush all over the floor - and Anslie. I immediately stripped her and threw her in the tub. (Sorry, no pics...I was too busy scrubbing her) It was right before bed so she got to go commando until bedtime. Lucky her!

An Exciting Attempt!

Kevin called me into the living room today just as I was about to hop into the shower. Anslie was standing on her own and took her first step. When she saw me walk into the room (rather run because Kevin was hysterical and I thought someone had died) she got excited and stood up again and took two steps before tumbling to the ground. I grabbed the camera and caught a quick clip of her attempting another step. She only takes one, but that is a big deal to me!

Check out this cute video we just took of Anslie's antics. It's really funny!

The Winners

I really appreciate everyone's input on my homework. I actually ended up going out one more time and picked up a few more shots to add to my collection. These are the 5 images that I am turning in.
