Need a laugh???
...I forgot to put a diaper on Ensley this morning!!!!!!!!!!??????????? What!!?? Who does that!?! Who forgets to put a diedy (that what she calls it) on their baby!?! What even funnier is that I didn't realize I had forgotten until we were watching Cinderella (rella) in our bed and she tee-teed all in the bed and on me!! I looked everywhere for the diedy, thinking she had taken it off of herself...couldn't find it anywhere...I said did mama not put a diedy on you this morning??? She shook her head no!! Sorry E, Mama won't forget again!!!

First Trip to the Dentist!!!
I forgot to post this!! We had Ensley's first trip to the dentist a few weeks ago and they all said she set a world record (maybe they say that to all new parents??) b/c she actualy let them brush her teeth! She had so much fun in the waiting room--I did too!--lots of things to do in there, and was great when the dental assistant cleaned her teeth. When Dr. Oliver came around, though, she wasn't as cooperative but he said it was great that they were able to even clean her teeth and he was able to get a good look in there. Hopefully this will ease any fear of future appointments in the next few years!??!?!
Co-Sleeping can be dangerous!!!
I have always thought co-sleeping is precious, at least I love it and Ryan does too. While I nursed Ensley, we shared the guest bedroom, normally co-sleeping thought the night (such a precious time!!), and even today, if she wakes up in the night, we will put her in bed with us. It is the most convenient for all of us since we all need our sleep at night, but...I think I have learned the hard way how dangerous co-sleeping can be!!!! Ensley head-butted me the other night and gave me a black lip---sooooo not funny, but funny! When it happened, it hurt (a lot), but I quickly went back to sleep. When I looked at myself in the mirror the next morning...black blood blister on my lip!!! I looked like I had been punched! If I wore realy dark lipstick, it would cover it up but I looked a little goth if you know what I mean. So I just explained it to everyone that my kid did it and not my husband! HA!

ONE YEAR CHECKUP!!!!
Well, we had Ensley's one year chek-up the other day...a month late...and here are her stats and a few updates:
Weight: 21lbs 15oz (50th percentile)
Height: 30" (70th percentile)
Head: 18.5" (90th percentile)
Ensley loves books and I love that she loves books!! She will bring them up to one of us and say buh (Book). She likes to look through them herself now and will also let you read a few pages to her at a time.
She is very into dolls ("dah") right now too, she hugs them and squeezes them tight-precious!
One of her newest words is MORE!! It sound like muh and is normally said while eating or drinking.
She definately isn't afraid to tell you what she likes or what she wants or doesn't want. She will shake her head no, say no, and push whatever it is (including me!) away.
She has started trying to put on her own clothes and some of mine too...she knows that her arms go through holes so i will catch her putting panties (mine or hers!) on her arms and even over her head--too funny! That being said---she took off her diaper today TWICE!!!! Oh jeez that scares me!! After she did it and I said no no, I thought putting panties (diaper cover) on over her diaper would help...um no, she took those off too!!! It was hard not to laugh b/c it was so funny, but after the third time, I had to let her know that was definately a NO NO and hopefully it won't be happening again!?!? (It's hard to discipline at this age! Maybe it's hard at every age??!! )
She loves playing "Where's Ensley!?!?" When she first started doing it, she would put her hands over the sides of her head, or over one eye, but soon learned the game is much better when she covers both eyes!
She has started watching a little more television, Cinderella, actually. We watch a little bit right before it's time to go to bed and she loves it (I do too actually!!).
That phase she went through of waking up everynight has been over for a while, thank goodness! She is consistently going down at 7:30 and consistently waking up around 7...even on Saturdays :-) fun fun!
Ensley LOVES drinking out of a straw, just like her Mama. She is mainly doing sippy cups but if a bottle is easier (like early in am or if she does happen to wake in the night), we're all about it! She started whole milk a few months ago and she still gets formula (Next Step) and cereal in her nightime drink. She has started to feed herslef with a spoon---just as we were getting a little less messy with feedings...HA!
We get the mail everyday in the fun push car Heather Al and the boys gave her for her birthday.
Ensley will tell you where her belly and nose are if you ask her. She says nose but we're working on belly. We're also working on letting people know where our ears are.
She is so much fun and is so very active. Her Dada and I are neither one neat freaks, but my goodness, she is a tornado! She LOVES to unpack bags and drawers especially. I've never seen something so small make such lovely large messes!
She is such a joy, is so entertaining, and makes us smile and laugh constantly. Some of my favorite things are watching her sleep, hearing her breathe, and watching her in the rear view mirror (surely that's not illegal yet!??)!!
We hope everyone is doing well!!!!
