Little Miss Sunshine

Ashlyn is 4 months old here. (Sept. 'O8) One of our favorite things right now is when we look at her, smile, and say "Hi Ashlyn," she gets so excited she does the wiggle-hello-dance. This looks like a smiley mini-hoola dancer. It's so cute it makes us smile and laugh more, which sends her into her siren- sqeal voice to show her enthusiasm. It's cute. We love to listen to her coo in the mornings and watch her try to grab her mobile hanging down from the bassinet. One of my very most favorite things is when I'm singing her to sleep at night and she has starts to kind-of coo/sing along with me as she falls asleep. It's priceless.



Ashlyn has definitely found her fingers and toes. She loves to suck on everything especially her chubby little toes. When Daddy goes to kiss her cheek, she'll turn and try to suck on his nose, cheek, or even whiskers. Yummy. That sounds as fun as eating a prickly pear or unpealed kiwi.



She'll grab anything placed in front of her...Kaylee's hair, a shiny watch, Daddy's arm hair, Tyler's eyebrow, the tablecloth, Mommy's food at meal time, Jayden's cheek, and even gum wrappers. She's ready for some solids!



We love baby drool! She seems to have plenty of it. She's like a mini-geyser, always spitting up something gooey and fun.

Sleeping Angel

There is something so angelic about a peaceful sleeping baby. As I observe Ashlyn's sweet calm disposition, it makes me want to be a better person. To be more calm, more peaceful, more loving. She brought with her a little piece of heaven that tends to radiate throughout the room. She reminds me to take time to be more peaceful, to slow down and enjoy the moment, and to put all frustration aside and just be like her...heavenly.





Ashlyn is catching a few rays during her nap. I love to snooze in the warm sun, too. (2 months old)


Our Sweetie Pie
















Ashlyn brings the sunshine into our home every morning with her happy smile and sweet personality. She's been such a little angel blessing already! Here at two months old she smiles at us and lets us kiss her scrumptious cheeks!!! We all seem to love her in different ways. Daddy took no time at all to put her in the true blue colors of BYU. He also looks forward to Saturday morning when he can play with her at her "happy hour." Mommy just wants to rock her, kiss her, and snuggle with her. Kaylee loves to play dress up with her and act like mini-mom. While Jayden and Tyler either love to be silly in front of her to try to make her laugh or like to just give her a little kiss on her head. We're all thankful she's here with us.
