Well, not much has happened this week so this will be short. I just know that the grandparents really like the updates! :)
For the last two weeks Ashlan has been trying to wean herself, I think. She was used to nursing 5-6 times a day. Little by little, she has been decreasing her nursing times over the past two weeks and now she nurses 2-3 times a day. We wouldn’t care so much but she doesn’t care for drinking anything, period. She will take a few ounces of breastmilk out of the sippy or her straw sippy here or there, but hardly ever the bottle now, and not more than a few ounces at a time. She just really doesn’t like to drink. She’s kind of like her mommy in that way, actually! I have to force myself to hydrate most times. Anyway, it appears she’s getting all she needs between our estimations of nursing and what she’s getting out of the sippy so we think she’s getting what she needs. The weaning doesn’t bother us, but we’d like her to drink from a sippy more often so we’re sure she’s getting what she needs. We end up hiding breastmilk in her oatmeal at night, just so she gets the nutrition but she still doesn’t get the liquid. Other than that, she is doing just great! I have to pump more often but I don’t mind as long as she’s not wasting it. There is only two and a half more months that I have to do this anyway before she can totally be on whole milk so we're not too concerned. Even if she completely weaned herself around 11 months, I won’t be too heartbroken or concerned if she gets mostly whole milk. She is growing just fine!
Onto the pictures...
She was amusing herself with a cereal box. LOL!
Her new loves...her penguin we got from the FL aquarium and a doll her Nana and Papa sent her.
Sorry this is upside down...I don't know how that happened, but I'm doing this quickly! 
This is with her new socks that have grips on the bottom...I bought them to match her two new fleece outfits that we got for the colder weather.
She loves pushing the animal crackers container around on the carpet.
Playing with Daddy in the morning.
During the Steeler game.
And our make-shift fence...we are getting one this weekend, I think.
LOL, you can see her diapers outside the window.
Playing with Caesar and he was playing with her! <3
She LOVES Caesar!
She is enjoying herself...
I think Caesar is enjoying himself too!
Another shot of them playing together...
