9 months old

Ashley has some new tricks up her sleve. She is all about pulling herself up on the couch and stealing our remotes.

Ashley is 9 months old. We had her 9 month check up last week. She is now weighing in at 23lbs and 32". She is 99% in height and 91% in weight. They said she looks great and all of the injuries look like they have been fixed. She got her shots and did not even cry this time. She is such a great baby.

I took vacation last week. Mark and I went to Clearwater for Emerson's 1st birthday party. We had a nice date night on Sunday. This was the first time Mark & I have been out to dinner and to a movie since Miss Ashley arrived. We saw "Just Go With It" and had dinner at Longhorn. Jenee, Nick, Loretta and Randy joined us. It was a triple date.
Mark flew back on Monday and Ashley and I just hung out for a couple of days. Emmie and Ashley got to play. On Wednesday we had a girls shopping day. Jenee, Loretta, McAllyster, Emmie, Ashley and I went to Ellington Outlets and did some major damage at the Childrens shops. Ashley is growing so fast that she is in 12 months and we are starting to run out of clothes. This was a great time to get some larger sizes for her. We bought her firs pair of Pre-Walkers from Stride Rite and the cutiest purple Nike. How much fun shoe shopping with the girls.

Ashley also got to see everyone at Grandma's work, she spent time with Aunt Cheryl, Aunt Lenny and Aunt Nayden.

We drove back on Thursday and brought Grandma back with us. While Grandma was he we took Ashley for her first trip to the Zoo.

So much fun.

No more helmet..

On February 9th Ashley had her last appointment for her helmet. She is now helmet free. Her head was measured at 92% of growth. Our target was 90% and the measurement from left to right and right to left matched 100%. It was pretty easy. I was so torn up that we had to put a helmet on this beautiful angel. I was more concerned on taking her out and getting the sympathy looks. It was no problem at all. Ashley's smile was so cute when people approached and I feel like I had the opportunity to educate people about Tortocollis and the use of the cranial band.

I took this picture when I was at my moms. She has an activity bouncer for her and I took this random shot which shows how perfect the left side of her head is shaped. This side was completely pushed flat.

Check out that beautiful round head.

Fashion.....

Playing in her crib..... Too Cute...

We had a few first this week.......

Ashley has started to pull up on the furniture. I can see this getting interesting.



We upgraded Ashley to her BIG Girl car seat. She has exceeded the 30" maximum from he carrier car seat. We had to make some adjustments.

Ohhhhh Nooooo what do we do with her if we go out to dinner???? What do we do with her when we go to the grocery store..... Well we figured that out and Ashley loves being in the big girl highchair and sitting up in the cart watching everything going on around her in the store. She especially loved the Valentine's Day stuffed animal isle.
