bad habit

i admit it was a bad habit that seemed innocent enough. we started propping the bottle during her feedings as she got a bit older, particularly when we were out and about. and for a while, it didn't look like she had any interest in holding it herself. well, much to my joy, she did it!

an ordeal

wanted to capture ashlyn with her cousin, olivia, who's 3 months younger. what an ordeal! thankfully, the photographer was patient and we were able to get a few adorable shots.

kota

ashlyn LOVES kota! does this mean that we'll soon need to get a dog? boy, i hope not.

enjoy the outdoors

went out to a local creek during our pa visit. it was gorgeous -- beautiful scenery, lovely sunset, a refreshing touch of breeze. it's been a while since ashlyn's been able to enjoy the outdoors and she was just loving it! she couldn't sit still and at one point almost got away from me...while crawling!
