Ashlyn Rose- Eight Months Old

Ashlyn Rose LoBello is eight months old. She is sitting up, rolling over, pulling up and saying "da-da", "ma-ma" and "hi". Ashlyn is really good at waving bye to everyone. She is such a happy baby. We have finally gotten her in a really good routine. She sleeps 8:30-8:30, 10:30-12 and 3:30-5. She eats lots of food, oatmeal and snacks. Ashlyn weighs about 18 1/2 pounds and wears size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. I am loving staying at home with her!!!

Abby Grace's Birthday

Abby Grace had a big birthday weekend that ended up with her having strep throat on Monday. Justin and I picked her up from school on Friday along with her friend, Jack. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and stayed Friday night and Saturday. When we got to Papa & Gigi's house on Saturday, Mimi and Deda were there. We got to hang out all day and go to dinner. On Saturday, we had Abby Grace's birthday celebration for lunch. Her favorite gift was a dollar store toy that Gigi got her. Later that night we went back to Gigi's house to trick or treat. The doorbell started to ring and Abby Grace's friends were showing up. We had her a small surprise party with all of her friends. Pizza, candy, gifts, cake and trick or treating....lots of fun!!!

Medieval Times, LSU, Wolfest, Working on the Computer

Mamaw took Abby Grace and I to Medieval Times last weekend. We had so much fun!! Mamaw paid extra for us to get on the front row...best seat in the house! The King announced Abby Grace's birthday and we had birthday cake too!

Cousin Leslie from Kentucky sent the girls LSU scarves and Abby Grace LSU headband and bracelets. So we all sported our LSU!!!

Abby Grace let me hot roll her hair for Wolfest (school carnival). She was beautiful!

Justin had left the room the other day and came back to find Ashlyn on his computer! She looks like him and acts like him!! :)

Kentucky

We went to Kentucky at the end of September to see family and through Tanner Jay a baby shower. Me, mom and the girl flew to Nashville and met up with Brad, Brandy, Mimi and Deda to drive to Kentucky. Jess, Jessica and Ash made it in later that night. It was a weekend full of cards, eating, family, eating, just dance and more eating. We had such a wonderful time and my cousin Leslie from Kentucky is an unbelievable hostess!!! She has a beautiful house and we kept telling her that she should open a bed and breakfast! Les took us to their version of the pumpkin patch...we all had so much fun. The whole extended family and friends were invited to Tanner Jay's baby shower. Brad and Brandy got great gifts to start his nursery! It was a wonderful weekend- full of memories!!!
