August 2010 - Our little comedian

August was a fun month. Ainsley keeps getting funnier and it keeps going more to her head. Frankly, she thinks she is hilarious sometimes. Here's some of our zany highlights from August.



Ainsley loves to help mom with the laundry. She loves to pretend to be a sock monster. Very scary but very funny.

Being funny puts the fun into diner time. She loves to play around with the spoon, holding it tightly in her mouth.


Ainsley loves to play dress up. We pulled some fun hats out of mom and dad's closet and Ainsley loved wearing them; okay, we loved putting them on her and laughing but she seemed to understand she looked funny and loved the attention.


With daddy's newsies hat on she was ready to Seize the Day...or the purple teething toy.


For a fun FHE, Aubrey taught about Noah and the Ark and Ainsley got to fill an ark (kitchen pot) with animals (her favorite stuffed animals). It was a difficult lesson to figure out which animals to leave behind when she decided to put her favorite stuffed bear in the ark. (He filled the ark completely.)


One of Ainsley's favorite toys was a disco ball that I got when I was in high school. I was about to take it to the DI the other day to clean up a closet but we put it in Ainsley's room instead...instant hit. There's something magical about hundreds of little lights all around your room when you're a diva.


Ainsley loves books. She loves her Hop on Pop book and the nighttime tradition of reading time before bedtime.


She loves reading her animal picture book when mommy is reading her magazines. Very fun.


On my last day of freedom, before school started we celebrated by going on a day trip to downtown Salt Lake. We visited the temple, had some German food (to surprise mommy with her favorite food to celebrate her birthday), and got a treat before going home.


Her favorite way to ride in her stroller is with the feet on the dashboard. She is such a cute girl and so active. She loves moving and her stroller is usually a good place to be when it's in motion.


The Stout family had a fun get together in August where we played games in the backyard. There's so much to see outside and Ainsley loves exploring the great outdoors, as long as mommy is right within an arm's reach.


August was fun. Lots of adventure, laughter and smiles.
