Ashton 2.5

-Loves anything outside (especially riding bikes and yard work), tools, TV, "working" with Daddy, reading books, trucks, and the neighbor dogs
-Pretty Independent, plays well alone, especially while outside
-Easy going personality, little unsure in new situations, kind of a mamas boy, loves playing with older boys
-He's super sweet and caring, sensitive, adores his sister, is an awesome snuggler,  says the cutest things: whispers "I love you" calls things "beautiful" and when surprised yells "oh my Gosh!"
-Other things we hear often that aren't so cute: no, why, huh or what?
-Dislikes: bath, eating, coming inside
-Looking like such a big boy, starting to loose his chubbiness, doing awesome in his big boy bed
-Falls asleep around 8pm, wakes about 6/6:30 and naps about 1.5 hours
-Knows all his shapes and colors, starting to recognize letters, can draw "little guys," not at all interested in potty training

Is about the most adorable kid ever (in my eyes) and truly has my heart.  I couldn't love him more!

Grandma Lou's Visit

Our kids are lucky to have a Great Grandma who will travel to us for a visit!  Mary Lou came to stay with us for the weekend and the kids had a blast!  She treated us to many meals, lots of fun, and even Ashton's first movie theater experience, Finding Dory.

Sick Snuggles

Ashy had a nasty cold and ear infection (and felt pretty miserable for about 10 days), but we really enjoyed all the sick baby boy snuggles.

Fourth of July

Edmonds Parade and Fireworks!

Bainbridge Adventure

No More Training Wheels!

I think its so cute how she wants Ashy to see her, "Bubba look I'm riding with no training wheels."  Ashy didn't really notice a difference but new she was very happy and kept saying "Is so exciting Sissy!"
