within reach

ashlyn has been grabbing and holding on to anything that is within reach. we were out shopping at a baby store when susan saw a cute monkey. i handed it to her to see what she would do. the result was adorable.

grab things around the house

ashlyn has been learning how to grab things around the house. here she is on her bumper just hanging out while we were cooking.

sitting position

each day, ashlyn is growing stronger and stronger. she's now at a point where she can actually lift herself up to a sitting position when slightly propped. case in point, i was going to check up on her after will has just placed her down for a nap. you can imagine my surprise of finding her in a sitting position, leaning against her crib.

ill prepared

we got 4 inches of snow recently which turned into ice and have been stuck in the house for a week (okay, that may not sound like a lot but considering that we're ill prepared for snow at all, the roads are pretty dangerous...) we were getting ashlyn ready for church and thought her outerwear was appropriate for the current weather conditions.

afternoon nap

ashlyn usually wakes up anywhere between 6:30-7:30a. today, she took a short nap around 10a, and here, a couple hours later, she's back in bed for another.

sidetracked

i was hoping to take a quick nap in the car with ashlyn while we waited for will to get off work. much to my amusement, we got sidetracked.
