Ashlyn 7 Months

Ashlyn is seven months! More than half a year has passed already? Cannot imagine what our life was like without her... quieter maybe! She's so sweet, and has such a different personality than Ari. Still opinionated though and quite vocal but more sensitive and observant of her surroundings. She's also more easily appeased and sleeps better.

She weighs in around 17.5 pounds (75 percentile) and is 28 inches tall (97 percentile). Ashlyn is eating solid foods twice a day. Usually an oatmeal mix with fruit and then a broth-based blend of a veggie like carrot, sweet potato or butternut squash. She likes to eat solids but still is nursing numerous times a day and sometimes once at night. She slept through the night a few times this month but we're heading into cutting teeth stage and inconsistency remains the only consistent thing.
Ashlyn is a roller and a sitter. She is not crawling (which is fine by me) but still manages to get across the room rather quickly by rolling and scooting. She loves chewing on anything she can get her hands on and is constantly moving or using her hands and feet to play and move. She talks alot but squeals more. If she's feeling left out, she'll shout and demand for whatever she wants (not unlike any human-Ha).


Ashlyn is growing too fast. That's one truth.
She's also voting Republican this fall, anyone else?

Beautiful Ashlyn. Jenny, your photography skills are dynamite! Thank you for the updates on our favorite 7-month-old. Her Baba will be with her this fall!

She's a charmer, so darn cute, even though she's got a cue ball for a head of hair. Love her soooooo much, I guess as much as her sister.

When my boys were little, we dressed them as "Night" and "Day" for a harvest party. Enjoy their uniqueness!
