Happy 5 months Ashlyn Rose

Ashlyn Rose is five months old today. The time really does fly!!! Ashlyn weighs 14 lbs and wears size two diapers. She is finally getting in a routine of eating at 10am, 2pm, 6pm and 10pm. She takes a nap after her bottle at 10am and 2pm. She usually naps again between 9-10pm before her last bottle. She will sleep until about 7:30am in the morning unless daddy is up banging before 7am! :) Ashlyn still goes to school two days a week. There are three babies in the class so she gets lots of loving!!! Ashlyn can sit up for a little while and roll over both ways. She loves her play gym and to sit in her bumbo and see herself in a mirror. She still loves to play with Abby Grace the most. Ashlyn loves bathtime and to watch Abby Grace take a bath. I guess that she is slightly partial to her daddy...I love watching them and how much they look alike. Ashlyn is a very happy baby!!! We are so blessed!

Abby Grace in West Monroe

When I went to West Monroe a couple of weeks ago, I left Abby Grace there to spend some time with her grandparents. She staying with Mamaw & Tommy and then Mimi & Deda. She had a great time! Mimi and Deda drove her home last weekend. I couldn't wait for her to get home. I ran outside when they pulled up...she blew right by me and into her daddy's arms. :(

She told us all about her trip. She was so funny when she told us that "The West Monroe McDonalds so lame!" Abby Grace said that her favorite thing to do was swim with Uncle Brad. She got to play with Riley Grace, Kade, Brayden, Maddie & Jillian Kate. Abby Grace said that she had the most fun playing with Jillian Kate.

We are so thankful for those who took such good care of our big girl. She will definately return again!

West Monroe Fun!

Love to be with my girlfriends when I go home to West Monroe. We had both of my favorites: Johnny's Pizza and Albritton's cookies. These girls know me in and out. I love each of them!!!

Fun at the pool at Brad & Bran's house!!!

Michael Buble' Concert

Last Sunday, Justin took me to see Michael Buble in concert. We had bought the tickets way back in February. They sold the concert out in two days! We met our cousin, Sharon, and her husband for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then headed to the concert. There were 13,000 people in attendance. I really appreciate my husband taking me. There were few men and the majority of them were most likely not straight! :)

Ashlyn Eating Cereal and Trying to Sit Up!

Ashlyn started eating cereal last week. She keeps trying to sit up and then doing the "bobble head"! She is growing every day. She turned four months old on Tuesday. She sleeps from 10pm-7am. She takes five bottles a day. Ashlyn is entertained ALWAYS by sister! She likes her bumbo chair and just to be sitting up in someone's lap. I think that she lives on being the center of attention all the time. She definately turns into "Miss Personality" when someone is paying attention. We took her to the doc and she weighs exactly 14 pounds. She wears size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.

Cow Appreciation Day

Last week was our annual Cow Appreciation Day at the store. If you dress like a cow, you get a free meal. Mamaw, Justin, Abby Grace and Ashlyn participated too!

Fourth of July

We had a great and busy Fourth of July. We went to church and then met Gigi and Papa at Gaylord Texan hotel for their Alice in Wonderland themed events. Abby Grace had a great time. We then went to eat and to the fireworks. We waited for the fireworks with thousands of others! It is always so much fun with Abby Grace has such a good time.

On Monday, we met some friends for lunch and then went to visit Jonathan and Christy to see their new baby, Ian.

Justin had his doctor's appointment on Wednesday and was released to go back to full duty as long as he wears his new knee brace. We are so glad that he is going back to work!

PS- I had a really cute 4th of July shirt too until Ashlyn spit up all over me....front and back!
