Last week I decided to put Ashlyn's hair in pigtails since it's getting so long. I just couldn't believe how adorable she looked...and how OLD she looked! Our baby girl is starting to look less and less like a baby and more like a "Big Girl"! As you can also see, she's feeling much better than she was a week ago. Although, even though she looks like a "big girl", she's still so tiny. At her checkup on Friday we learned that she's only in the 10th percentile. Part of that is because of the weight she lost while she was sick, but she's almost always only been in the 25th and the highest ever was the 50th percentile. Oh well; nobody's worried--just as long as she's growing at a steady rate :)
Looking back, I realized how few family pictures I've posted! So, here are a few of the 3 of us...well, actually the FOUR of us since I'm pregnant in both of them :)
It's been a rough two weeks for Ashlyn! First she started out cutting her eye teeth. None of her other 12 teeth have given her much of a problem, but these are some real buggers! Then, right in the middle of all the teething, she came down with a virus that covered her whole body with these red spots. You can see how much she was enjoying them while she stayed at Grammy and Papa's and gave Kyle and me a much neeeded break and a full night of sleep. After a few days, the spots went away but we suspect that she then began a growth spurt. She started being awake for less than 4 hours a day for a couple of days and just wasn't herself. THEN, as if that all wasn't enough, she came down with another flu-type bug that lasted about 2 days. And, of course, when we talk to the doctor/nurse, they tell us that the only thing we can do is give Tylenol for her teething pain because there's nothing that can be done for a virus/flu! Finally, two weeks later, Ashlyn's getting back to herself, but she's still not quite sleeping through the night, much to the dismay of her parents. I know, I know...she's just getting us re-used to what it'll be like to have an infant. But I was hoping for a few more months of resting up before Maguire is born!
