Ashley update

It is so hard for me to believe that it has been a month already since Ashley was born, yet it seems like she has been in our life forever! Ashley has been doing very well and is growing so much. I weighed her at my Mom's house tonight and she is 10 pounds already. Her awake periods are becoming more frequent and the night time sleep is getting a little better. Every few days she will have a great night where she does a couple 4 or 5 hour stretches. I love those nights!

Ashley is a very mellow baby and really only cries when she is hungry or fighting falling asleep. She is very content watching her brothers run around and seems to enjoy all the chaos. The boys are equally enthralled with her as well. They are constantly coming over, patting her head, and giving her kisses. The other day she was crying in her swing and Aaron took all of his favorite toys and piled them in the swing with her to try and comfort her. How sweet is that?

Ash still has the dark hair from when she is born, but in the sunlight you can see a faint halo of blonde hair coming in underneath. Her eyebrows are blonde as well as her eyelashes. It is so ironic that both the boys have long beautiful eyelashes and my sweet girl Ashley was born with hardly any. Looks like Mommy will be teaching her how to apply mascara someday!

I am enjoying having a girl SO much and am relishing every moment I have with her!!
