We haven't posted anything about Ashley in a long time, so here is an update on her. She is now sitting up very well and she is grabbing at anything that is withing her reach. She especially loves really small things (like all babies) such as pieces of lint, crumbs, or anything else that the rest of us tend to overlook.
Last time I measured her, she was 28 inches long and between 20 and 21 pounds, but those aren't official doctor visit measurements. She has bright blue eyes just like Alyssa and her Daddy and very blonde hair unlike any of us. She is, however, still pretty bald.
She is pushing up very well on her hands and she can get to most anything on the floor by rolling and scooting. She can even reach stuff on the lower level of our coffee table. She is looking like she is close to getting those knees up under her, but it still could be a long ways off. Who knows.
She is a very good eater if you can't tell from her chubby face and rolls. She loves baby food a lot more than Alyssa ever did which is good since she hasn't cut her first tooth yet. We've tried giving her a few finger foods, but she still gags on them, so she probably isn't ready for them yet.
She finally slept through the night for the first time in 6 months this week, and she did it twice!! She has been a better sleeper than Alyssa. When I do get up with her during the night, I've just fed her a bottle and put her right back down, so I'm not losing much sleep. Alyssa always liked to stay up for 2 hour stretches in the middle of the night.
She is a sweet baby and we are glad that we have been able to enjoy the non-mobile baby stage a lot longer with her than we did with Alyssa (who crawled at 5 months!!). We love you Ashley!

She is so cute! I love her little purple dress and head band. So cute!
Adorable! I love that non-mobile stage too!
She is just a doll! Kelsi is almost 10 months and is still in that "non-mobile" stage, but I don't think it will be much longer. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks, but everytime she tries to crawl, she falls on her face. At first, I was worried, but now I am just grateful that I have had going on 10 months of "you stay here while I go make dinner" and not have to worry. I wish that Ashley and Kelsi could play together!
