Ashlynn's absolute favorite thing to do is dance with Mommy or Daddy. We hold one of her hands and sing and dance and bounce and dip her and she is all smiles and laughs.
Ashlynn began pulling herself to standing on Feb 8th and now does it all the time.
And I think because she wants to make things easy to record, one day after turning 7 months she started actually crawling, although she has been the master of the scoot for a month, and she still resorts back to that now too.
She decided this month that she does not like to wear headbands. They are meant for eating only. I keep putting them on so I can enjoy them for about ten seconds.
Ashlynn has also started to love bathtime with Zeke. I usually bathe Zeke first and let Ashlynn play on the floor with toys until I'm ready for her, but now that she can pull herself up she instantly crawls over to the tub, stands up and starts reaching her hands in to splash with the water. When she is in the water she doesn't act particularly excited, mostly just contentedly chews on Zeke's alphabet ( I gave up protecting the letters) and does a little splashing. But she always gives me a little squawk and cry when I take her out.
She is a full time smiler now. She is a very happy little lady, and about the only thing that makes her upset is when she realizes that she is playing by herself. She prefers to play with Zeke, Mommy or Daddy, although she is getting more entertained by toys too.
I also call her my little sweeper, because since she started crawling I have been horrified at my sweeping skills because I am constantly pulling things out of her mouth. Last week I fished something out only to discover that it was a piece of a Christmas decoration that Zeke broke (and I consequently swept up) clear back in December. Seriously? There was still a piece of that on the floor and I have swept how many times since then? But then, Ashlynn is a very skilled finder of any and all things bite sized. Not only did she take a bit of Zeke's ham and cheese last month, she also managed to get a good bite out of a chocolate peanut butter candy on Valentines (lucky no allergies, eh?). She was not too happy when I took that one away.
She has started to sing a bit. Even never hearing it before, she knows the whole chorus to The Beach Boy's "Barbara Ann." She is yet to say Mama, or even mamamamama.
One last little tid bit. Today she fell asleep at Church completely folded in half. She was sitting on his lap in Sunday School and then she just folded over, put her head completely on her knees and was instantly out. Comfy.
Well those are the memories and details I can think of for now.
Thanks for sharing. Feels almost like being there! :)
