Our 9th anniversary was this past Wednesday. It’s hard to believe that time has gone by so fast! This past year seems to have gone by the fastest but it has been full of smiles and laughter of a little one! We went out to dinner and when we got back, we made some white wine once Ashlan went to bed.
Ashlan is getting great at sleeping through the night so our sleep training must be doing some good! She goes down anywhere between 6 and 7 and sleeps straight through until 5:30. Can’t get her to sleep past that time though! We’ve never been able to have her sleep in! However, we’re not complaining, that’s pretty good with no wakeups and no feedings even! She has been like this for the past week since we started the sleep training. We are trying nap training now but it’s slower going. Everything was going good with naps in the crib up until two weeks ago. Now, she fights going down for naps so hard! She just wants to stay up and play all day! We actually let her one day to see what would happen and she took 2 naps with a total of 50 min of sleep! Not nearly enough for a baby her age, so we started the nap training and since it's recommended to do sleep training first before naps, we did and are pleased with the results of that. With the success we had at sleep training at night, we’re hopeful that we can get her on two regular naps as well, at least for the next few months.
She is also starting to dance when music is played on any of her little toys. It’s so cute to see her bounce up and down to the music. If we can, we’ll try to get a recording of it and upload it, as I know her grandparents would probably like to see it.
She also loves to bounce on our laps to the tune of “Hi Ho Silver” like she is riding a horse. Once I stop bouncing her, she bounces up and down herself as if to make me keep doing it. It’s really cute. We’ll try to get that one recorded as well but we’ll see. We tried to one morning this week and she was just burying her head into me so she must have been too tired to “perform” for all of us!
She’s been consistently maneuvering from being on her back to sitting and also from a sitting to crawling position. Still mainly doing the army crawl but she is fast! She gets up on all fours and will crawl like that occasionally or rock, but she still mainly does the army crawl. Caesar is not pleased. Lately we’ve been finding her sitting up in her crib…I guess it’s time to move the crib down a notch since she is also starting to pull up and crawl all over us. It’s just a matter of time before the crib is used to stand.
Being silly with her Puffs
Going after the DVD's.
Mmmm, tasty feet!
Thinking about pulling up.
Trying to pull up.
"Oh yeah, I'm up! Now how do I get down?"
She will be very smart...that is a calculator.
Oh yes, very smart, lol! ;)
Practicing her waving...she does it like the Queen. :)
Bath time and daddy made her hair like a mohawk but it's too long!
Trying watermelon for the first time.
Lol, not sure if she likes it here! She eventually ate a bunch more though so I think she does.
Going after those darn DVD's again...
Bouncing up and down on mommy to "Hi Ho Silver".
A new toy, haha!
