Ashlyn Turns One
















It seems like I am always trying to catch up on here! The time sure does fly. Well, my sweet Ashlyn Rose turned one on Sunday, March 13th. The week of her birthday we had the following in our house: strep throat, flu, stomach flu x2, sinus infection, double ear infection and finished it off with supposed fifth's disease on Monday before Abby Grace's surgery on Tuesday. GEEZ!!!

Mimi, Deda, Brad, Brandy and Tanner traveled from Louisiana for Ashlyn's first birthday party. We invited lots of friends and celebrated at Papa & Gigi's house. We had the ladybug theme with everything red and black...it was so cute. It was a beautiful day so all of the kids were able to play outside with their ladybug bubbles. We had coloring and WII dance inside...even the adults played. Ashlyn loved her cake and somehow didn't get a drop on her cute ladybug outfit. She got tons of presents. She loved her new swing for the yard and her picnic basket...we put everything in, she takes everything out! I was so excited about all of her new clothes!!


Ashlyn is my spunky child. She is walking everywhere...started several weeks ago. She says "mama", "dada", "papa", "gigi", "maw-maw", "nah-nah" (Abby Grace), "night-night", "bottle", "no", "stop", "snack", "bath" and "hey". Ashlyn is eating mostly all big girl food, but still wants her milk in a bottle. Ashlyn loves her bath and going outside. She is so loving towards all her stuffed animals. She wears size 12 months and some 18 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She weighs 21.5 pounds. Ashlyn sleeps from 8pm-7:30am and still takes two naps during the day.

After Ashlyn's birthday, we kept Mimi and sent Deda home with Brad and Brandy. Abby Grace's surgery and recovery has not been easy, but she has been so big. It has been nice having Mimi here since Justin has been working. Papa & Gigi have been a big help too. We are hoping that Abby Grace will not get sick as often after her surgery.

Love to you all!!
