or helping out with dusting. . 
snuggling up with Aunt Rachel. . . 
and attacking her with the duster! 
like shiny purple beads. . . 
or a drawer full of barbies. . .
We caught a big grasshopper in Ansel's room the other day. He was pretty excited about it.
He kept saying and signing "dog" (well he altered the sign a little and pats his chest instead of his leg) Quite a few animals are "dogs" right now. He knows duck, cow,and cat (with their correct sounds) but many other animals are dogs that make a monkey sound! He'll get it all figured out one of these days!
When we let it go... he caught it in his hand right as it started to fly away!
Ansel loves his cousin! Quick story. . . he got so excited to see her at church Sunday. We were holding him and he leaned down to give her a huge hug! While we were all "ah"ing about how cute it was, he sneakily grabbed the little bag of cookies out of her hand and popped right back up! So, he loves his cousins, but he loves cookies too!
Watching "Bob"on a trip to Springfield
It's been a month or so.... but here are pics from when we took Ansel swimming.. which he loved of course!
Yikes! not what I was intending to capture! Good thing for padded diapers!
Relaxing with Daddy afterwards in the hammock!
(for some reason he kept making that puckered lip face whenever we set him in the hammock!)
Both arms up!
In the very corner, cross legged and poking an eye!
Arm twisted upward
Snuggled with my blankie
All sprawled out! ..... Can you tell that mommy thinks I look cute when I sleep?
