Nine Months and Catch Up on Life










Let's see....this past month has been crazy. Abby Grace had strep throat twice, Ashlyn had pneumonia and I had to take Justin to the doctor twice....and he NEVER gets sick. We had Thanksgiving in WM and Thanksgiving her with Justin's family and my parents.

We traveled to WM the weekend before Thanksgiving for a wirlwind of a weekend. We had Tanner Jay's baby shower, Jillian's 2nd birthday party, Jessa-Claire's baby dedication and Thanksgiving/Birthday celebration at Mimi's house. We also had Sara's fabulous cooking with the whole family! I was so excited that Justin got to join us for the weekend...he needed a break.

We got home on Monday and Justin's family came in on Wednesday. Sam, Betty, Cara, Anthony and Brayden stayed with us through Saturday. We had Thanksgiving at my parent's house and then the boys left for the Cowboys vs. Saints game. Cara kept me busy shopping. She and I had a blast...it was my first experience Black Friday shopping. I am now a believer and will make it an annual event!

After the family left, Ashlyn got worse and we ended up at the doctor that Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!!! I felt so bad for the baby!

Mamaw came to visit that next weekend while I stayed at my boss' house to keep his kids. Justin switched out with me some so I could see the kiddos. He and Mamaw took good care of the kids.
So that leads me to this week. We have been busy finishing up Christmas to get ready to go see the family in West Monroe.

Ashlyn turned nine months old this week. So here is her update:
She weights 18 lbs. She is finally growing some hair. Her fourth tooth just broke through. She is cruising on all the furniture. Her favorite thing to do is stand in the window and "talk" to the outside. Ashlyn loves to clap and hollar. She is wearing size 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She naps from 10:30-noon and 3:30-5pm. She sleeps from 8:30am-8:30pm. Ashlyn loves to eat her veggies, oatmeal and snacks. She is scared of people in hats and is really starting to get attached to momma!
I am so excited that I have lost all baby weight +20 lbs since having Ashlyn. I still have a long way to go...but at least I am working on it.
