Two little ladies...

Ashlyn got to see cousin Mya again for a short visit while we were in Appleton on Saturday. They seemed very interested in each other and were all smiles until both of them went for each others faces in an attempt to poke each other's eyes out! Then we decided a little separatation was probably best...

The Basement is Done...Mostly!

Here are a couple pics of our basement that we just finished. We still have a few things to do like get a TV, hook up the surround sound, and finish the fire place. We are going to put tile or slate of some sort around the fireplace but are waiting a few months to finish that off when we decide for sure on the design we want to do. It is really nice to have things done down there and to have the extra living space...we're excited the project is finally near completion and are happy with the way everything turned out as well, which is a big plus!!! Now we get to look forward to landscaping outside once spring and summer comes....the fun never ends!

I can sit now...

Ashlyn has found her balance! She sits up by herself now for quite a long time and enjoys being upright and looking around. Despite how happy she was this morning we are just getting over a flu bug. Ashlyn got sick at daycare late Thursday afternoon and was quite sick that night. I felt so bad for her :( I think she passed it on to both mom and dad, and even Shotzy got sick Saturday! Needless to say, we had sort of a rough weekend....but hopefully we are all getting over it and can stay healthy for a while now.

6 Months Old

Ashlyn is 6 months old today and had to go to the doctor for some more shots. She did the best she ever has with them and was even quite happy tonight. She is 16 lbs 10oz (75th percentile) and 27 inches long (90th percentile). So she still has the tall height thing going on which we can't figure out :) Ashlyn has been rolling over now pretty consistently, so now we are practicing sitting! She also enjoys grabbing everything in sight and reaches for anything and everything, as you can tell from the picture above. She wanted the camera!! She also is taking after daddy and thinks she needs the remote control basically all of the time :)
