patiently waiting

took ashlyn in for her 6 month wellness check up. she was scheduled to have 3 shots and some liquid medication. she was so adorable laying on the table, patiently waiting...if only she knew what was in store for her.

 

     

surprising noises

since ashlyn sleeps in her own room, we have a baby monitor in ours. sometimes she'll cry, other times she'll coo and as mentioned in a previous post, she also has a nice shrill.  i love listening to it because sometimes i'll hear some surprising noises.

not been herself lately

ashlyn's not been herself lately...fussy and crying a bit. although she's just coming out of the clear with the sniffles, we think it's due to her teething and not necessarily with her cold. she's taken well to the ice cube in a ziploc bag. i think that's helped soothe the pain a bit. it's sad to see her so uncomfortable. sometimes when we lay her down in the crib for a nap, she'll wake up crying a loud while arching her back and neck.

when she's not fussy, she's starting to develop her motor skills. she's good at grasping her rattle and anything placed in front of her. She can also sit up by herself but if we're not careful, we'll find her slowly sliding onto her side. while at home this morning before church, my sister caught her in a good mood.

high pitched shrill

her smiles are so contagious. we can't help but laugh when she expresses her excitement in a high pitched shrill. already, she's anxious to stand. she should be teething soon...not looking forward to seeing her uncomfortable.
