10 weeks Old in Florida

Ashley celebrated her 10 weeks on the beach in Florida!

 I wanted a picture of her in her suit and in the sand, but the sun was so bright!

She started smiling a lot and squeaking some too.

 Just to prove she actually saw the sand.... :-)

She didn't really like the water, but since I bought this float just for her, I had to use it...once!

9 weeks

This day almost passed me by....but I was able to take a few pictures of our 9 week old! And even part of a grin!

 she smiled at me for a few minutes today and it was the best! Every mom knows those first few smiles keep you trekkin' on day after day....

Camera & Remote

I bought a remote for my camera and decided I needed to be in some pics with my baby.

So I set it up.

And stood in place. 

And grabbed Matt to join me....

 And then I preceded to cut off his head. And the remote only worked when it was straight in line with the camera.

Oh well....cute anyway!

Ashley- 2 Months

Little Ashley Grace is 2 months old! She weighs 11 lbs, 4oz.

She has been to the Lake twice this month. 

 She gave us the sweet gift of one 10 hour stretch at night this week. But has yet to repeat it.

 She is not a big smiler....we have to work really hard to get one out of her.

 She's not a big talker- very few coo's and other sounds.

 And she's a tummy sleeper.  She sleeps in her Moses Basket in her crib and loves her paci.

A Day in the Life....

Daddy and Daughter....

 Kara was walking in from her nap... so Daddy was saying hi....

8 Weeks Old

Ashley is now 8 weeks old. She is smiling a little bit these days....but not for any of these pictures!

7 Weeks & Smiling

Ashley is 7 weeks old today!

When she's awake, she is very alert, looking around and following us with her eyes and head.

 And she slept through the night for the first time 2 nights ago- 8 hours straight! Yay for happy everyone!

She is starting to smile.... 

And it is so wonderful to see! I think I even heard 2 coo's from her yesterday. 

And I couldn't help but catch a pic of her adorable {long} toes!
