Ashlyn.... 4 months old!

I really can't believe that Ashlyn is 4 months old. She is growing up so fast. She is such a fun little girl, but at times you miss how tiny they were when they were first born. Right now she is 15 1/2 lbs, and she has the cutest chunky chunk thighs. I will have to take a picture for you all the next time. WE LOVE THE CHUNKY CHUNK:) I truly love being a mom. Ashlyn is going through a lot of firsts right now such as giggling, learning to put things in her mouth, learning to use her hands to pick things up. She is also talking up a storm. Man this girl can talk. She is experimenting with different sounds that she can make, some of them are a little special, but funny. It is so fun to watch her learning and growing and can't wait to experience more of her firsts.

We finally decided that it was time to start getting her on a schedule, now that she is four months we think she should be ready. Boy is that fun! For the first 3 and a half months we were putting her to bed around 10-10:30, now we are trying to get her to bed by 8-8:30 and ease her into going to bed at 7-7:30. She doesn’t seem to like it that much. We put her down around 8 and she usually wakes up 30 min later, and then will go to bed about 30 min after that and then maybe we do that cycle about 2-3 more times, and then she sleeps till about 7. I guess I can’t complain too much, she has always been a really good sleeper. Its just the nightly routine that we need to get down. I'm sure it will come in time, if we stick with it:)

Anyway, here are some pictures of Ashlyn at 4 months old!!!

It is so fun to see her trying to hold and play with toys now!

This sweet little girl cannot get enough of her hands. I rarely see her without her hands in her mouth. We are working with her on it, but it seems to be a lost cause to the parents:)

Baby Wins Round 1!!!

Don't be fooled, Gabe is holding her up from behind. I love her face because it a classic. She has these eyes that are like "I didn't do it" eyes or "I'm innocent, I promise". I tell you if we aren't careful she will get away with a lot more than she should:) I just can't get enough of our beautiful little girl!

Last but not least, Ashlyn loves the tv. Here she is watching Bear Grylls 'Man Vs Wild' with her daddy! Its funny because it is virtually impossible to get her attention when she is watching the tv. Its pretty cute. And just so you know, we didn't even stage her hand, she just happened to be resting her hand on the controller:)

Well until next time!
