Another 1st

I'm sad to say that after 8 healthy months, Ashlyn finally has her first cold (viral infection). She sounds so pitiful, but she is getting better. Praise the Lord.
Lori is now getting sick a little, but she is taking some medicine. So hopefully she'll be better soon too.

A First

On Monday November 20, 2006 Ashlyn saw her first snow. It began to flurry early, then it started the snow pretty hard for an hour or so. Nothing lay on the ground but she stared out the front door for a long time just looking at the snow. This will be her first Thanksgiving and she’s leaving Friday with all the ladies to go shopping. Last year it snowed at our house the day after Thanksgiving, maybe it will again this year.

 

Until next time!

Finally!

Well, its been a while since I wrote last. Ashlyn has TWO teeth now! The 2nd one is barely through but through none the less. I am putting a few pictures up. Take a gander and tell me she ain't "purdy"!
She been pulling up now for a little over a month and gets around pretty good by holding on to something. She'll probably be walking in a month or so!


Here's the pictures...

Surprise

Well, Ashlyn’s first tooth is through. We’ve noticed that it was very swollen and white for the past few days. This morning Lori checked it and sure enough it is through. “Her first Toofer”. Of course its barley visible but it’s there.

 

Sincerely,

Update

Morning everybody!

 

Well we had some excitement yesterday.

I got a call at work and heard a cry on the other end of the line. I asked what was wrong and I heard, “Ashlyn fell off the bed”, My heart sank, Lori kept saying in happened so fast, and apologizing to me. I tried calming her down before I could ask how Ashlyn was. I got her calm and explained that it wasn’t her fault and that she just needed to keep a watchful eye on her. Ashlyn was playing right beside Lori on our bed, Lori put her head down the play “Peek a boo” and in that short period, Ashlyn lunged off the bed. Lori was panicked, but picked Ashlyn up, she was laying face down, (breathing and crying) She has no marks on her body anywhere, and she’s acting normal, all of her limbs are working just fine.

 

Scared both of us nearly to death, her more than me because she was there, but everyone is okay now. We’re still watching Ashlyn just to be sure there’s no effects of the fall.

 

Talk to you all later.

 

 

Finally Some New Pictures

Finally! Here's some new pictures. I have tried all week to post these but to no avail. Please check them out. The one where Ashlyn is making a Fish Face is my Favorite. Oh, she got three (3) shots today so keep her in your prayers today. She should be okay by tomorrow or this evening.

Sorry no Pictures

I tried and tried this morning to post some new pictures but they just wouldn't post for some reason. I'll try again later.

New Update

Hey everyone. Its been a while since I updated. I don’t have a lot of news, but I do have some important news.

Ashlyn is almost Crawling. She scoots around on her stomach using her head, hands and big toes to get around. I have some pictures but I haven’t had time to post them. I’ll try to do that this weekend. Lori’s sister is getting married Saturday so I may post a picture of that as well. See you later.

Oh my Dear

I'm at Lori's Moms House. Lydia is fussing, her fiance is eating his hamburger with french onion dip. Lori is eating "Rolo" Ice cream. Cindy is laughing @ Leah being stupid and Ashlyn is going "UHHHH". Now Leah is making fun at my typing skills. Leah is getting married to Derrick Sapp in 5 years, and their first son will be named "Landen Braden" we'll see.
