Ashley turned five months old on the 6th. She is such a sweetheart. She is such a cuddle-bug and loves to give and get hugs and kisses.
She loves to be tickled and cackles when she thinks she is being sneaky or when she is plotting with Jenna. Tim is convinced the girls have a secret language.
She can stand with little help and we know all she is lacking is balance and she'd be outta here!
She loves to play in the jumperoo (though no jumping yet) and in the walker (though not walking FORWARD yet). I am pretty sure she went a couple inches back in it on Saturday.
She still does not have any teeth (which is normal) but she still has a few rough, pointy feeling areas on her gums. Sometimes you can just tell her teeth are bothering her!
Ashley loves her Baby Ashley (that was Jenna's) and her giraffe, Raffi, that I bought for her as soon as I found out she was a girl. We had Raffi in some belly shots and in the photos I had done when I was VERY pregnant!
I have more pictures of Ashley and Raffi's love affair that I will post later, but here are a couple more. They kept getting funnier and crazier with each click of my camera!
The girl can stand up for herself and fend for herself, don't you worry. She has learned that pulling big sister's hair will let her win the coveted item (usually a My Little Pony), especially when Ashley has a death grip on Jenna's hair AND the toy!! It's a good thing Jenna will most likely be the taller of the two because Ash has got some fight in her!!
And here is Jenna at five months old in July 2005:
(It was a couple days after she was five months old, but still...you get the picture. She may be Jenna part II!)I need to go make dinner. Hopefully I can tell you all about the weekend trip and Jenna's new HILARIOUS phrases!! You won't believe what all she is saying!!
