1st Thanksgiving!

Well, Ashlyn had an excuse for taking a nap on Thanksgiving Day, but her Daddy must have just eaten too much Turkey! Ashlyn unfortunately got a pretty bad cold over the long Thanksgiving weekend and wasn't feeling the best. She is starting to get less congested and is eating more again now so hopefully she is getting better and will be able to sleep better as well. We had a nice time back in Colby at Darrin and Stacy's as they were nice enough to let us "invade" their house for the weekend! We also braved the crowds Friday afternoon in Wausau and met up with my sister Stacy for a visit and some shopping. It was nice we could meet and she could see Ashlyn again!

Opening Deer Hunting

They tell me that Damien needs a new gun because his misses the deer. I say it is definately just operator error! But Ashlyn had a good weekend. We went shopping in the Dells with Grandma Karen, Aunt Stacy, and Aunt Jen. Ashlyn traveled great during the 2 hour trip and was pretty much all smiles the entire day. She's a natural shopper! We're in trouble :)

3 Month Pictures

We got Ashlyn's 3 month pictures taken and I took a picture of the pictures we got (I know pretty cheesy!). They turned out good and Ashlyn cooperated really well, but she just didn't want to smile for them. She was quite serious for the most part. We only got a couple little expressions from her!

Tuesday night....

Well Tuesday night was a big night in our household...Ashlyn slept through the night for the first time!!! She went to bed around 8 pm and slept until 6 am the next morning. YEAH :) She has been sleeping really good for the last few weeks actually. She will generally go to bed around 8:00 every night, wake up at 3 or 4 am to eat, and then go right back to bed for at least 3 more hours. She puts herself to to sleep at night and even in the middle of the night. I will lay her in her crib and she will be wide awake. But I go to bed and don't hear her once, so she falls asleep on her own...what a good little girl!

Playtime video

I finally got a video to download. Ashlyn is a vocal little girl when she plays! She will get more excited than this at times...it's hilarious :) We say she sounds like a pterodactyl!

Looking so cute...

A picture of the cutie without Shotzy sitting basically on her head.

Quite a pair...

I was trying to get a cute shot of the "little lady" sitting on the couch with her cute jeans on and Shotzy decided she needed her big butt in the picture!

The two taking a nap together... Shotzy thought Ashlyn lying on the floor meant she needed to give her kisses!

Winter is coming...

We had to try on Ashlyn's new hat and mittens tonight to see if they fit since it was SNOWING here today. Yuk!

Daddy and Ashlyn were playing after work today. Well, she generally just likes to try to put her toys or hands in her mouth! She is realizing how her arms work recently and has found her hands. She will hang on to rattles now and she grabs at her toys over her bouncy seat, but at times I can tell she wants to grab different things but just can't quite figure out how to make it all work. It's cute!

Ashlyn had a good week at daycare. I think she is starting to get used to it there as she is starting to nap a bit better than she did last week. Some days she doesn't sleep much there during the day though and so when we bring her home at night she will sleep from like 5-7 pm when we want her to be awake and play since we haven't seen her all day!
