It's July

So, I thought I'd change up the colors & put up a new picture up top.  
And I can't believe that Ashlyn is 2 MONTHS OLD already & those pics were taken when she was a month old. And she's already changed SO much!  

She is practically perfect, and just such an easy going amazingly happy baby. I'm loving the smiling stage she's in right now. Sometimes her whole entire face smiles, and you'd think she is going to break into laughter, but no sound comes out! It's pretty cute. And it makes anyone who sees it laugh.  

Ashlyn loves to "talk" (coo) to her sister & brothers and adores the attention they give her. The new-ness of waking her every morning, kissing her constantly, wanting to hold her, check on her, etc... has not worn off even after 2 months. (Sometimes I almost wish it would...but then really I don't!)  

Tiffany is an amazing help. Just so very responsible & sensitive. The best big sister. Zachary loves holding his sister & singing & talking to her.  

Bryan has quite a few nicknames for Ashlyn already. "Baby-cakes" is the most common. Sometimes he calls her "Sweetie Poo" (instead of Sweetie Pie") I frequently hear "Baby Doll" or "Ashlyn Tweetie" also. Bryan is famous for running through rooms, ALWAYS on the go, but always stopping to give a kiss to his "sweet baby."  

Chandler is just so sweet to his baby sister. He's adjusted SO well to being a big brother and not the "baby" anymore, because he was that around here for quite a while! Chan is always telling me what Ashlyn "needs." Today he told me "Ashlyn needs you. She wants you to come."  

IN the past two months: 
Our sweet baby girl has survived a fall off the couch, and a fall from a brother's arms...thankfully onto a carpeted area rather than the tile that runs through most of our house.  

She tends to sleep away the heat. And we've sure got it bad down here!  

She smiles at anyone who will talk to her.  

She loves music & we all love singing to her.  

She really enjoys taking a bath.  

Also being outside in the evenings whether in her stroller on a walk or in her bouncer watching us play with the other kids.  

She's gone on two little "trips." One to Austin for 2 days in May, and this past week to Tyler, TX for a long weekend.  

She's slept a 9 hour stretch for me ONCE, and a few 7 hour stretches at night. If she nurses during the night, she usually goes right back to sleep. I get better sleep now than I did during my whole pregnancy so I'm not complaining.  

Ashlyn has been to soccer games, basketball games, track meets, the gym, the neighborhood pool, a few birthday parties, to church, and to the lake.....and many other places. 

As the 5th born, she just goes with the flow quite easily. We're very blessed.
