BK!

I was bad and splurged at Burger King at Yorktown mall recently. But who can resist the crowns! The kids had a ball with them while we ate and played with them all night too! Scott couldn't even give me a hard time about eating out- because it was so worth the crowns!

4 Month check up!

We had Ashley's 4 month check up today. She did soo good! My baby! She weighs 15 lbs. 2 oz. and 25 in. height. She is in the 80th percentile for everything- weight, height, and head circumference. Which is where she was for her 2 month appointment as well. She even slept through the night last night! She was very tired from the day... but hey- we will take it! And it gives me the confidence to know that she can do it! So we will see how tonight fairs. She had shots today and a bath... hopefully that will make for another restful night.

Ashley is just grabbing and chewing on everything! It is very sweet! I can hardly believe how quickly baby's progress! She will lay on her mat and just grab and chew. and sit in her bumbo and just hold and chew her baby, snowy bear book or her other few toys. She definitely is ready to start eating. I am just not ready to move on yet!! I just want to hold onto every baby minute!! I was very sad when she turned 4 months... just seems like a bigger baby now...not my tensie thing- not that she ever was tensie! Hello 80th percentile!

Zachary is sooo funny! That boy could get away with murder! The faces and the shy looks away - he is something! And loves to crack us up! He is digging his cars he got for Christmas! Which Scott is very happy about. Zachary has such a love for shoes and jewelery and barbies. Hard not to when it is everywhere he looks! Seriously - every time I turn around he has mine or Jenna's shoes or boots on. So silly and cute! Oh and he has started dancing! He had a little before- but he would get very overwhelmed and embarrassed. Well now he just dances at any music! He does this cute wide leg move and he will do the air guitar when prompted! So adorable!

Jenna- my poor girl! I have been noticing that Scott and I have been on her case lately. I have to remind myself too often that she is still little too! We just expect so much from her. She has started this baby talking that is driving us crazy! And just the little things like taking forever to get to bed, get dress, eat - everything! I have been calling her "Molasses" She hates it! But Uggg! Otherwise though- she is really wonderful! So good to her brother! They are totally best buds. It warms my heart often to see her play so nice with him. The fun they have is so cute - it reminds me of how close me and my brother Brian were when we were young. Lord please help give me the patience and the understanding with her!!!!

3 months and smilin'!

On the day that Ashley turned 3 months old (December 15, 2009)- I swear that she smiled all day! This girl is the sweetest smiliest thing on the planet! It seems that she just loves everything! Especially her daddy! She will smile and cuddle in for him every time! And she will tell him all sorts of things too! Our little night talker! Lots of coos and almost yells for him. Speaking of yells - boy does Ashley have a set of lungs on her! She doesn't really cry- just hollers out! In the middle of the night to eat or to be picked up... she's a yeller!

Ashley is...
- awake most of the day
- having a hard time sleeping in the bassinet- ugg!
- smiling like crazy!
- reacting to being talked to- mostly with a big smile!
- sits well in the bumbo seat- like a pro!
- gets mad in the bumbo and practically is jumping out of it at times!
- loves to eat!
- every time she wakes from the tiniest thing at night- insists on eating!
- almost every poop is a blow out!
- and therefore is in size 3 diapers now
- likes to cuddle and almost hold her blankets
- is trying hard to hold toys
- loves her glow worm baby from Uncle Brian
- has fists in her mouth all the time!
- drools like a leaking faucet! Ugg!
- loves to kiss/eat her baby, Zachary's ducky, and Jenna's baby
- loves diaper changes! Loves letting those chubby leggies breathe! And stretch!
- Only seems to go to sleep by being in the swing, nursing or in the carrier- ugg!!
- is doing well with taking a bottle - here and there!
- blows drool bubbles like a champion drool bubbler!

Really though she is the sweetest thing! And I can't believe she is 3 1/2 months old already! My sweetie!
