Our baby's getting big

Every day Ainsley is doing something new that amazes us. When we say, "what does a ducky say?" she says, "quack quack". She also says, "ooo ooo ooo" in a high pitched voice for what a monkey says. My favourite though is that whenever we open the door to the oven or take something out of the microwave she goes, in a kind of loud whisper, "hot, hot, hot" and makes a blowing gesture with her mouth. It is so cute. Her favourite toy seems to be our laundry basket which she first empties of dirty clothes then pushes around the house and adds new items (such as a roasting pan and cooling rack that she loves to remove from the drawer, pillow, stuffed animals, etc.) to it. She likes to get in it and play too. She also knows where the books in her bedroom are so she points to them for us to get one down and read to her. Once she has it in hand she either climbs up on a chair and waits for us to sit down with her or she walks over to a chair, pats it with her hand and points to one of us to sit down with her. She is very clear about what she wants and she loves to read books or at least look at and kiss the pictures. She has 14 teeth and is working on 2 more. Her hair is getting very long. She loves to slide. She's wearing 18-24 months and 2T size clothing! I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of things but this is just a small snapshot into our busy days.
