Week 10

Ashlynn ready to go to her two-month checkup at the doctor. She didn't know she had to get shots. I have never felt so bad for anyone before. Ashlynn got three shots and one oral vaccine. I've never seen her make such an awful face and cry so loud. It didn't last long though, and I was much more traumatized than she was.

Testing out my crib.

Great Mamaw and Grandma Terri came to visit.

Nana and Papa came to play.
I can't believe my mommy takes so many photos of me...although I am pretty cute!

Looking cute in my dress!

Sneezing...again! :)

Mommy made me a dress during nap time.

Nana's Crocheting!

Nana has made Ashlynn lots of super cute hats. For Easter, she was making her a bunny hat. Nana came over to try on the hat because she thought it was too big...she was right :)

Where's Ashlynn?

There she is!

Now, I'm better!

I love Nana, especially when I can see her!

Ashlynn Loves Daddy

Ashlynn LOVES her daddy! She smiles at him every day when he gets home. I just love it when she curls up on him like this!

There Is Always Next Month

As you can tell from these photos, Ashlynn was not very cooperative when I tried to take her two month photo shoot. Michael thinks it's because of the adorably huge flower...I think she was having a bad day. I kept meaning to try again, but never got around to it. Hoping the three month pictures are better or at least happier!

March 2, 2012 - Two Months!

Dear Ashlynn,
You are just the sweetest baby and I can't describe how much I love you. You are starting to smile, and it is so, so cute! You smiled for the first time on Sunday, February 5 at your Grandpa Tim & Grandma Terri. You smiled at me for the first time the next morning. I loved it. You didn't smile at daddy for another week or two. They say baby smiles at this stage are equal for everyone, but I like to pretend you smile the most at me...and daddy.

You started cooing this month and it is ADORABLE! I read that you are learning vowels and can repeat them, so I say them too you a lot. Nana said I look like an orangutan talking to her baby, I don't care though, I just love that you coo at me when I do it. O is your favorite.

You are a great eater and slept through the night a couple times, interestingly, both on Friday nights after very rough evenings. By Friday, you are just so fussy...Daddy asked me if you'd had a long week at work :). We wonder if you slept through the night those nights because you were exhausted after crying so much the night before. It makes us so sad when you cry, but usually we can make you happy fairly quickly.

It is amazing how big you are! At your two-month doctor visit, you weighed 12 pounds 2 ounces and were 23.5 inches long. I can't believe you are almost two feet tall and have gained more than 4 1/2 pounds in just two months. You are in the 86th percentile for weight and 93rd percentile for length. You were so brave during your shots, but it broke my heart to see you in pain.

I love all of the ways you are growing and changing, but it also makes me sad how quickly time is moving. I'm trying to pause and enjoy every minute even when it's hard. Seeing your little smile makes everything better. Love you lots and lots!

Love,
Momma
