Bath Time and More

I apologize for not updating better. We have been keeping fairly busy and enjoying Ashlyn's first summer. We are having a great time! This Friday, I took Ashlyn to the zoo again. We went with a friend of mine. We saw all sorts of neat animals. The gorillas were her favorite this time. They came up to the window and Ashlyn thought she was touching them. It was pretty cute!

On Saturday, we went to Joey's company picnic. It was at an indoor entertainment place. They have go carts, mini golf, an arcade, laser tag, etc. They have a really neat area for little kids. There is lots to play with. Ashlyn is still a little young to fully enjoy it, but there was lots for her to look at and crawl on. They had a neat cave that is a huge sandbox. She played with the sand a little. I want to take her back when she is a little older and will really enjoy it.

Saturday night, Ashlyn spent the night with her grandparents. They came down from Buena Vista and were staying in Woodland Park. She also spent all most all day Sunday with them. She had a great time and they said she was very good. She did not cry once. I was so proud of my good girl. We missed her like crazy, but also tried to enjoy our adult time. It was nice!

The last few weeks I have been trying to give Ashlyn as much finger food as possible. She just likes it so much more than jarred baby food. She is such a good eater and I have not found one thing she does not like. She really likes ham, turkey, cheese, peas, and peaches. Her absolute favorite is macaroni and cheese. I buy the organic kind and make it with yogurt and she goes absolutely crazy for it!

She continues to crawl and is getting very fast. She is all over the place. She immediately gravitates towards things she can't have. I spend all day keeping my close eye on her and trying to corral her back into the family room. I can't imagine what walking is going to be like!

I posted a bunch of pictures from the last two weeks. They are all mixed up and out of order. I apologize.

More bath time fun


Brushing her teeth. I bought her a "big" girl toothbrush and she loves that thing. I think it feels good on her teeth. It's really cute.


At the zoo. She would not keep her sunglasses on long enough for me to take a good picture.
