It's About Time

This week was fairly uneventful for Ashlyn. We did go to her final swim lesson this week. She seriously made some progress in only 4 weeks. The first week, when I put her on her stomach she did not do much. The last lesson, she was kicking her legs and moving her arms. I am going to continue lessons as soon as I figure out what our schedule will be for the fall. I am sad they are over because I know that we both enjoyed them immensely!

A big moment for me this week was that Ashlyn finally said "Mama"!!!! She said it for the first time yesterday. She has been saying it a lot today. I don't think she has put together the idea that I am "Mama", but she is saying it. My little girl is growing up so fast! She also has gotten better this week at figuring out what "no" means. The other day she was trying to grab something and I told her "Ashlyn no" and she stopped. We repeated the cycle several times, but she is getting it.

Yesterday, it was very hot outside so I got out a bucket and we played in the water. She loved it. She loves anything with water. She has a play date on Wednesday with her friend Haiden. We are going to a splash park. I have never been before and can't wait to see what it is like. I think she will love it. I will try to take some pictures of the fun. Today, we went up to Denver to go to the Parade of Homes. We saw some of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen. I had Ashlyn in the carrier that she loves. She just looked around and smiled the entire time. Everyone kept commenting on how darn cute she was!

In the summer she does not like clothes at all


She was having so much fun


Ashlyn loves anything with water


Wearing her pigtails. It is my new favorite way to do her hair. It is quite difficult to get her to sit still. They are always very uneven, but they are always adorable!


What a funny face

Eating her favorite macaroni and cheese


You can't really see it in the picture, but it is very messy stuff


Her favorite part of the bath. Watching the water go in. She is my little skinny girl. You would not be able to tell how much she can eat!


Loving the bath


All wrapped up and warm
