Tales of an overachieving mom...: Ashley at 4 months

Ok, so obviously my blogging two times a week in February has not happened. Oh well. When did life just get so darn busy? Was it with the addition of kid no. 3? Or is it just that I am so far behind on stuff on here that I don't want to get on and do current stuff because I have not put on old stuff...well, if that is the case (which I think it is) then I need to just get past it. I will update the old stuff when I get a chance but still put new blogs on. Might be confusing, but this is the only scrapbook my kids will ever have of their lives so I have to do SOMETHING!

Can you believe Ashley is 4 months old already? I seriously can't. I took her to her 4 month doctors visit and she weighs 13 pounds which put her in the 50th percentile. I forgot how long she was but she was in the 75th percentile for height. Again, tall like Mommy...I LOVE it! We did have one surprise at the doctor's visit...when I took her into her appointment I knew she had a cold but come to find out, she had a double ear infection! She was not quite her full on sweet self, but I never would have thought that she was in pain. She got her first dose of antibiatocs and did pretty well with them. We have a follow up appointment on Monday to check her ears and then if all is clear she gets her 4 month shots at that point. Poor girl is just being tortured!

Ash is getting quite a bit of new hair on her head and it is coming in very blonde. She did manage to roll over at some point in the last few weeks but has not done it again since. Makes sense considering how much she HATES being on her tummy. Why should she turn over again if she is going to be miserable? Smart girl!! :) Ash is such a happy little baby and loves more than about anything else watching her brothers. They give her SO much attention and she just eats it up.

One thing we were quite surprised to discover in these past few weeks is that Asher is a thumb sucker! I have never had one of those before! I knew she never really liked the binky but lately she has figured out how to soothe herself by sucking her thumb. It is too stinking adorable!! I know I might not think this when trying to get her to quit in 3 years or paying for her braces, but right now it is just the cutest thing.

I LOVE this picture. Big Ashley had this shirt made for her when I was pregnant. Don't know if you can see but the M & M has blonde hair. SO CUTE!!!
