Elmo.......



So I thought this was so amazing tonight and I had to share it.........

Ashley and I were playing on the floor after dinner. She brought me over some books and we read them and then all of a sudden I think something clicked in her brain that the picture in the book looked like one of her toys.... She started making noise and pulled me by her toys. She picked up her tickle me Elmo and then pointed to her Bubbles book with baby Elmo in the tub.

I was sooooooooooo blown away that she put it together...

She is my smarty!!!

GYMBOREE

Busy Busy Day…… Ashley and I tried something new today. I have been searching for a group that teaches, plays and interacts with both baby and mommy. I have been to a MOP’s meeting which is more for stay at home mom’s that need to have adult contact and build relationships. It was a great group but not what I was looking for. I tried A latte Fun, again this was not very interactive it was more about free play and other mom’s just hanging out while the kids did their own thing. Story time at the library and at pottery barn is fun but not very interactive with the babies since the age group varies.

Finally a great place that focuses on what I was looking for…. GYMBOREE…. This is age appropriate, focuses on learning and developing, play and interaction with me and other little cuties. It is a bit costly, but it is worth every penny. I can not wait to take her back for some free play and another class.

Where did the Baby Go?????

So we took this picture of Ashley and I had to post it.....







Is she 15 months old or 5 years old...... This picture makes her look a like a little girl... not a baby..... Where did the baby go???????

Big Fountains in Downtown West Palm





Ok so Ashley loves bathtime now and she has had fun in some of the smaller fountains. I took her to the big fountains in the center of town. She was a little nervious at first then she loved it.... These fountains were no joke... Check out the hight on some of these bad boys.....

Grandma & Ashley at the Park




Grandma came to visit last week so Mark & I could have a nice anniversary. Thirteen years.... Ohhhh where did the time go....... As we both say..."Weeee Stillll Together" from "In livin color" a TV show from the early 90's.

We had a nice day just the two of us.

Grandma also saved us big time this week. She stayed an extra day to help us out since Mark's training schedule got changed. We are very grateful for her boss allowing her to stay the extra day.

Here are a few pictures of Grandma and Ashley at the Park.
