oh yeah....

By the way Happy Birthday Mom!!

She's One!!!

Ashley is One year old!! We had a great time at her party! More people showed than we thought would. We were excited to have everyone celebrate with us. Ashley did not get a good nap that morning and was so tired from playing with all her friends that she passed out in the middle of opening gifts!! It was too cute. It of course she conked right out when I laid her down. She woke up to her grandparents and aunt still there waiting to play with her. She slept almost all night in her crib, (rare feat), because she was so exhausted.

I'm excited about her next year. All the things she will learn how to do and say. She is almost walking. I'm letting her develop at her own pace. I try to make sure she has a well rounded day. Phyiscal and mental activities, I try to make sure she has enough of it all. I dont push her into stuff she' ll learn on her own anyway.

I hope everyone has a chance to spend lots of time with Ashley this year. We are looking forward to it. Take care,

Holly

Back to reality...

Well, this semester is finally over! I feel like I did pretty well. If feels wierd no having any studying to do. It is nice to be able to consentrate on my family.
About the family...
Ashley is trying to walk. She has been cruising around the house for a couple of months now. Jamie said today that she is letting go of the furniture, wall or whatever she is hanging on to, and falling of course. She is starting to figure it out. It wont be long and Jamie and I will be chasing her everywhere! I hear people say that you cant wait for them to start walking and talking and when they do all you want is for them to sit down and shut up!
I hope eveyone has a good holiday,

Holly

Look NO HANDS!!

Ashley doesnt realize it, but she is not holding on! She is more interested in chewing on her toy. She has been doing this more and more lately. She will be walking soon. Maybe for her birthday..? I hope everyone is staying warm and is safe.
Take care,

Holly
