Anybody else have one of these?
I had one of these stools growing up! I think it is so neat Ashlyn now has one. Her great-Mimi and Papa gave it to her for Christmas. It came in the mail last week and she has been enjoying chewing on the puzzle pieces. EVERYTHING goes in her mouth these days. I keep thinking a tooth will pop out any minute, but I have yet to see one. Her sitting is coming along too!

Sleeping in the princess crib
Well, we made the move! Ashlyn has spent the past 3 nights sleeping in her crib in her room...UNSWADDLED! I thought this child was going to have to be swaddled for her kindergarten naps!!! But alas, she weaned herself from the swaddle when she was ready, just like everything said she would. She still sleeps in a sleep sack that has a piece across the tummy that is tighter, but I think that will come off soon too. I think she would have been fine in her crib months ago, but her mommy and daddy weren't quite ready! We really liked having her sleeping in our room (in her co-sleeper) just to keep an eye on her. Although her room is literally 20 feet away from ours there is something very reassuring about having your baby close by at night.
Night night sweet angel...Mommy and Daddy are right down the hallway and YES, we sleep with the video monitor between us so we can both peek on her during the night. Baby steps...:)
Valentine's Day/9 month photo shoot
Ashlyn had her pictures taken on the McKinney Avenue Trolley last night. A good friend of mine from work, Melanie, and her boyfriend Gus arranged a fun photo shoot! The weather was perfect so we hopped on the trolley and got some great pictures of Ashlyn! She was absolutely wonderful and even stuck it out through dinner, although it was a little past her bedtime. Here is a preview of the pictures. This was taken on Melanie's iPhone and the flash caught her off guard. I think the real pictures are going to turn out great!!!
Emma Reese Ivie
Emma Reese Ivie was born Friday, January 28th around 9:00 am! After a short stay in the NICU (she was forgetting to breath at first) she is home with her big sister, Ryan! Ryan, Ashlyn and Emma are going to have so much fun growing up together. They will each be about 9 months apart in age! Welcome Emma!

A new bath toy
Ashlyn is still learning how to sit on her own. She can balance for a few seconds, but then topples over (usually because she is trying to eat her toes). Bath time isn't much fun until you can sit up. This bath ring is really cool because it helps her sit so she can play in the bath (and frees up my hands to play and clean!)

It is still a little big for her so she is sitting on a towel to boost her up so the tray isn't under her chin. Oh well, room to grow!

Nenna with her Grandchildren
I didn't have this picture to put on our Christmas Tour post, but it is too cute not to post...Nenna with her grandchildren.

Mini Me
We came across some of Chance's baby pictures while we were in Abilene from Christmas. Does she look like her daddy or what?!?!?
