Cereal Time

So our doc said that since Ashley's only in the 25% for her weight that it's time to start rice cereal. 

Here we go!

 She liked it, but didn't really eat any the first time we tried. She didn't have the right tongue reflex yet.

 happy all the time!

Here's Emily's 1st cereal:

and kara's:

Farm Day Girls

The big girls had farm day at MDO this week.

20 Weeks

At 20 weeks, this girl is taking 3 naps a day, and sleeping about 6 hrs at night, eating, then sleeping again,u sually waking me up around 6am. I'd really like to sleep till 7 one day...but the big girls wake up about 6:15, so who am I kidding?

Anyway,

Ashley eats every 3 hours during the day. 

She's only in the 25% for her weight, so perhaps I've been starving her. So I'm adding a few bottles and some rice cereal to her diet. 

She can roll (like a pro) from tummy to back. She loves to be held, loves to smile, and loves her momma. 

And everyone says she looks just like her sisters!

19 weeks Old

Look at me- a day early- and already taken, edited and posted Ashley's weekly pictures! This is only possible because the grandparents have taken the big girls for almost 48 hours. 

Thank you Bia & Papa!

 Miss Smiles is 19 weeks old. We go to the Dr tomorrow for her 4 month shots and measurements. 

 I estimate her at 13lbs, 12 oz.

Her sleeping patterns have gotten better- now she's only waking once at night. However, it takes her a while to go to sleep at bedtime. 

She loves to smile at Mommy! 

She takes 3 naps everyday, about 10am, 1pm, and 4pm. 

She is a treasure!

(And thank you Mrs. Alaina for this adorable fall outfit! Cool mornings means we get to wear new clothes!)

18 Weeks

Baby Ashley is 18 weeks old this week. 

 Love those little toes!

 And this is how we see her most often- hand in mouth!

And let me tell you- the drool is uncontrollable! I need one of those mouth suckers they use at the dentist or something....
