Andrea, Chris, and Ainsley

In 8 hours Andrea, Ainsley, and myself will be on our first family airplane trip to see my family for Thanksgiving. Preparing for a airplane trip takes on a whole new meaning when you have an infant to carry along with you. Of course, everyone will be Oooing and Ahhing over little miss Ainsley, even the TSA. Hopefully everything will go smooth. I’m sure we will have a great flight. I love our family.

Today Ainsley rolled over from her back to belly for the first time. She is also going from belly to back, although I think she’s done that before. Today I am a proud papa.

It becomes apparent after you wake up from the “zombie phase” (aka: first two months of being a new parent) that your baby is growing at rapid speed! Ainsley Jane Maciula Peters has impressed us with her keen ability to wow us daily! She is almost reciting the Constitution of the United States but not quite yet! When we had to buy the “next” size of diapers last week I got weepy. How was it that this baby girl of ours was in a size three diaper already? Didn’t I just have that spinal tap a few weeks ago? My look back at the past 20 some-odd weeks brought me to the conclusion that the saying is true, they DO grow like weeds! Now, we as parents must keep nurturing, not round up our little ones!
Ainsley will be six months old via the calendar on November 7th and she is an angel baby for sure! She is such a sweetheart to both of us and anyone that gives her a few minutes to warm up to. She is very alert, loves to tell stories (in baby-talk), is sitting up, rolling over, teething and her red hair is starting to grow back in! Chris and I are starting to get used to being parents but we still worry constantly about the small things that I think every first time parent does. I am loving being a stay-at-home mommy, I try and work as hard as I would at a desk job and I think I accomplish quite alot! Taking care of my husband and baby is a dream job and I am very blessed to get to do this. There for awhile, after I closed the daycare, I was going to go back to work, instead I am trying to make some income from home.
Currently, we are so blessed to have families that donate hand-me-downs for Ainsley & housing. It truly takes a village to raise a little one. I know now why some people go crazy with children and it’s probably because they had no help! Our families and friends are great, but my husband is the real reason why all of this is finally working so well. Chris helped me stick with breastfeeding Ainsley, he helped me get out of a bad business decision, he helped me recover from a hard pregnancy and c-section, and is helping me to become a wonderful mother. I am so joyful that he is my husband and he works so hard for all of us. His business is really taking off and someday our goal is to open an Apple Accessories/Computer Services/Retailer Store in Stillwater, OK preferably downtown!
Overall, I am estatic to be a mother and wife to the two most wonderful people in the world. Through the poop, the internet being slow, and dog barfing on my carpet God still brings blessings into our family and I thank him for that!

On this Memorial day we remember all those who have served this great country. Without you we would never be able to have a family like this. Thank you.
Here is the photo gallery for Ainsley’s second week of life and freedom.

While working on Ainsley’s room I decided to document the progress by taking a series of photos. You can enjoy them on our photos page. Or click here to go directly to the gallery.
