8 Months

Ashton has reached many major milestones this month, it has truly amazed me and has been so fun to watch.  In this exact order he learned how to wave, say "mama", crawl, pull himself into the standing position, clap and also got his first tooth and first cold.  He has been a busy boy.

Crawling!

Watch out Sissy, I'm on the move!

Summer Fun

The weather has been amazing this summer and we took full advantage of it!

Mama

This totally melts my heart.

Waving Skills

This boy has not stopped waving for the past two days.  It makes me smile every single time.  Thanks cousin Wynn for helping me learn this amazing new skill.

 

Peaceful Sleeper

Have I mentioned this guys sleep schedule is a disaster??  Poor guy fell asleep in his jumper at 5pm, he wasn't even crying.  He just dozed off while playing.

7 Months

At 7 months Ashy continues to be a happy, smiley, giggly, and of course a very chubby baby boy!

-He likes being outside, going on outings, playing with balls, music, riding in the shopping cart, sitting and playing with toys (putting them in his mouth) and pulling Colbie's hair.
-He is super close to crawling
-Has figured out how to bang toys together
-Loves to eat anything, but his digestive system has a hard time keeping up
-Started stranger anxiety.  Smiles away at anyone who talks to him but don't try to pick him up!
-Diaper changes are a real challenge.  He quickly roles over onto his tummy and tries to crawl away
-After two weeks of unsuccessful sleep training (crying it out), he continues to wake between 4:30-5:30 every morning, only goes back to sleep in our bed, and has inconistent, short naps.
-Spit up is finally improving

We adore this baby boy and his amazing cheeks!
