The Adventures of Ashlan

We all went down to St. Augustine on Thursday to visit my parents and Mommy and Daddy got a nice date lunch in!  We went to Nonna’s Trattoria and it was awesome!  Ashlan did perfect so we’re really going to miss Nana and Papa when they leave for home soon!!

A few days ago, Dan and I went to go sign up at a fitness center that has daycare so I can take classes or just workout and Ashlan can get some play time in with other kids.  Originally, I was terrified because I didn’t know how she would react.  She did excellent though!  We walked in after we were done with our tour and she was so happy and running around.  She loves being with kids, so I’m glad she can get a little social time in with them.  I’ve gone about four times so far and the only problem we have is trying to get her out of there!  Sometimes she just doesn’t want to leave!  At least she’s having fun though.

Down at Nana's and Papa's.  She found a little chair that she liked.

Her new stroller that we got because she didn't like the other one (not the jogging one, we still have that one).  We mainly got this for London because it's much lighter and folds down much more compact than the jogging stroller and we wanted to have something easy to travel with.  While I was putting it together, she wanted in it, and then threw a fit when I took her out (and this was after I let her sit in it for about 20 min.)!

Watching the parachutist on the beach.  He had an engine on it and was going up and down the shoreline.

She was so busy playing at Nana's and Papa's that she didn't want to stop and eat.  We had to feed her while she was running around!

 She won't let us feed her anymore!  So, we got a bowl with a suction cup and while she's teaching herself how to use the spoon, we are using another spoon to make her eating faster because it would either take all day or she would go hungry, lol!  She's getting it little by little though.  She still uses the fork and has since she was 9 months old, but she also uses her hands too...depends on her mood.

Some Saturday fun with Mommy, a box, and permanent markers.  :)

Playing with Papa in her box.

Notice who has a real phone and who has a fake phone, haha!

It was a HOT day today, 81 degrees!  :)

Now they're both talking on the phone!  :)

She has been doing this lately...walking around with her hands behind her back.  Not sure why though.

And these are new diapers...a bigger size because Ashlan is a "healthy" girl.  :)  I didn't realize how tight the old ones were becoming on her until we got these new ones!
