Ashton is 4

i feel like i'm enjoying "babyness" with ashton WAY more than i did with avery.

a lot of times she.......

only gets two naps a day instead of three....
stays up past her bedtime....
nurses herself to sleep for her afternoon nap....

i was so stressed when aves was a baby and house-bound due to her vigorous nap schedule and early bedtime. (why did i do that to myself?)

i love just having ashton along for the ride with us....LOVE it. she naps in her carseat, chills in the ergo, and smiles even when she doesn't get a nap.

man, do we love our Ashton Kate.

she's four months now (yesterday) and smiles and chats with us a ton.

~if we catch her at the perfect time we can get her to giggle...it's awesome to hear that girl giggle.

~we just recently have been finding her "rolled over" on her back when we go to get her up from a nap.

~she has started to reach for and grab the little toys that hang over her head in her play gym.

~she'll take around 3 naps a day and sleep from 7:30-7:30 at night (after i feed her around 10:30).

she is a gem...a 4-month-old little gem :)

She is so precious...I can't believe how quickly she is changing and growing up! I remember a conversation before you had her (and maybe even before you were preggo) where you said, "I just can't wait for the second baby because I think it will be a lot easier with napping/scheduling and I won't be as stressed about it." so glad that is true for you with Ashton and that you are enjoying her so much.

So good to see you yesterday...love you so much. xoxo
