Catching You Up With Ashlyn & Will

I did this backwards, pictures go from most current to older pics, so it's gonna be like going back in time....




Miss Ashlyn is 3 months old now and smiling, rolling over, holding her head up and loving her big brother.



She is a very sweet little girl, she sleeps all night now, takes amazing naps and is generally happy when she's awake.



She was not a fan of this hat or too small bathing suit so swimming did not go well on this particular day but the other 2 times she's been in the water, she's loved it.




She's taken 2 trips to the lake, she's gone on 2 boat rides and fallen asleep immediately both times.



She's constanly smiling, you can tell she's ready for laughter to come w/ it; I bet that's not far off.



This was after her first dip in the pool.



She is getting so strong and does really well on tummy, but doesn't last long because she likes to roll right over.



Will is such a proud big brother. He is adament that Ashlyn is "his baby", he loves having her at school; the teachers have taken him to her class several times to see his sissy and if he's having a bad morning at school, seeing her calms him down immediately. I knew he'd be this amazing but actually seeing it in action takes my breath away. I pray he's always this good to her.

Will loves swimming this year. His pal Seth taught him how to jump off the side of the pool. Oh man, he's a pro now. PaPa is being an elephant here and Will is cracking up. He's a little fish. We are practicing his swim lessons he learned in April with Miss Marcy and he's getting more and more confident in the water and on the steps.




Sleeping thru Cousin Evan's 1st Birthday Party.



Will in heaven holding Evan and Ashlyn. The babies....not so much!



Proud to have a baby sissy.


Will is getting ready to celebrate his 3rd Birthday. I can't believe he's going to be 3. Crazy how time flies. We are having a party w/ his friends from school at the OK Science Museum. It's Cars 2 themed. I asked him what kind of Birthday Party he wanted this year and he said "I want cupcakes" so I decided Cars since he loves that movie so much and we are most definitely having cupcakes.


With a 3 year old and 3 month old, Michael and I stay pretty busy. We love every second of it.
