Bad Blogger

Ok, I know I have been a bad blogger. I get annoyed when people don't update their blogs often and now it has been a few weeks since I have done mine.

Not much has been happening lately. Ashlyn is doing great and growing like a weed. She is going to run out of clothes that fit if it doesn't start to warm up soon! She has started using the jumparoo at daycare so I brought ours upstairs yesterday and she loves it! She doesn't really get the bouncing part, but she likes being able to see what is going on.

We tried cereal a few nights and she is starting to realize that the spoon is not a bottle and that rice cereal tastes really weird. She hasn't had any the last two nights, so tonight we will have to try again.

She has been taking a bath in the big bath tub and she definitely has more fun than in the little baby tub. She can kick and splash like crazy! I had to drain the water and refill it one night because she was in there so long the water was getting cold, she was having so much fun that I had to let her play longer.

She also has learned how to blow bubbles, so now her shirts are usually soaked by the end of the day. It is really cute though. I will have to try and get a video.

Tomorrow I am taking the day off and Ashlyn, Taylor, Lisa, Amy and I are going to spend the day with my Mom for her birthday. That should be fun! We haven't seen them all since Taylor's birthday.

Ok, so I was going to put some pictures on with this post, but it is not letting me. I will have to try again later.

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Taylor!

Lisa - you should update her website! ;)

3 Months

I am a little behind, but Ashlyn turned 3 months old on Sunday! She is growing so fast!

At 3 Months......

-She weighs 13 pounds, 3 oz

-"Talking" all of the time

-Very smiley

-Starting to maybe think about rolling over

-Chewing on her hands and drooling like crazy - teething? Maybe.

-Growing out of a lot of her clothes

She also slept 8 1/2 hours last night! 8-4:30! However she did not want to go back to sleep at 4:30 so here we are sitting here wide awake at 6:15. Of course she will probably fall asleep as soon as she gets to daycare, but oh well. I at least got some pretty good sleep last night. Daddy of course is still in bed. That must be rough.

Tummy time and Bumbo time!

Here is my first attempt at a video. It is not the greatest, it was taken with my camera.

Pictures and stuff

No time to write, so just some new pictures.....


New carseat cover and matching hat!

Playing with my rattle.......

Mmmm.....I can chew on it!

So pretty!

Buddy likes the wiggle worm gym too!

2 Month Checkup, Christmas, Smiley Baby

Ok, so I am a week behind.....but Ashlyn had her two week checkup last Monday. Here is where she is at:

Weight: 11 Pounds 14 Ounces (78%)

Height: 23 Inches (76%) - I thought this was not accurate so I remeasured her myself - I get 25 Inches!

Head: 16 Inches (90%)



2 Weeks Stats:

Weight: 8 Pounds 13 Ounces (89%)

Height: 22 Inches (99%)

Head: 15 Inches (97%)



Christmas was lots of fun - Ashlyn slept through most of it - but she got lots of presents! I forgot my camera (I know - BAD MOM!), but I did take some pictures with my Mom's camera. So I will have to get those from her and post them.....it could be awhile!



I finally caught a smile on camera! So cute! Not the best angle, but you take what you can get!

2 Months Old!

Ashlyn is two months old today! Wow time flies and she is growing like a weed. I tried taking some pictures on her tummy time leaf and in her bumbo chair. She was getting a little crabby so we will have to try some more later.

Ashlyn at two months is......
-Starting to smile "socially" - usually it is just a half smile (we haven't caught one on camera yet, but will keep trying)
-Starting to "talk" quite a bit
-Sleeping pretty well - although every third or fourth night she decides she wants to stay up from 2am - 4am

Work is going good so far, I am getting pretty tired, thank goodness it is Friday tomorrow!

Ashlyn goes for her two month checkup and shots on Monday, so hopefully that goes well.



Happily "plugged-in"....

"Hey! Where did my plug go?????"

A quick picture after Daddy pulled the plug...

Tummy time blanket - Wasn't happy with tummy

time, so we flipped over for a picture.

Hopefully we can get some better pictures later, that is if I can stay awake longer than her!

Back to Work....

Well, I go back to work tomorrow....I am not looking forward to getting up and being ready that early in the morning. I have gotten used to bumming around until about 9-10 o'clock each day. I am also going to miss 'Las Vegas' - the show I have become addicted to since I have been home. Maybe it plays at a different time? Otherwise, I will have to figure out how to work my VCR - wow, I haven't used one of those in awhile. Someday we will join the world of DVR's, but not until we move!

I am not too worried about leaving Ashlyn while I am at work. She will be in good hands with her Daddy. I am not so sure about the first day I have to leave her at Daycare, at least I have three more weeks before that happens.

I don't have any recent pictures (I know, bad mommy!) to post, but I will be sure to get some! Ashlyn will be two months old soon! Technically she was 8 weeks on Saturday - but December 18th will be her 2 month 'birthday'. I did take some pictures on Saturday with Ashlyn and Taylor, but they are on Amy's camera - so I will have to wait for her to e-mail them to me.

Only 10 more days to go until Christmas! Yeah, I am excited. I love Christmas!
