~ 14 Weeks Old ~

Ashlyn Marie is 14 weeks old already.  She is getting easier to care for.  Those first few months with caring for a newborn is a lot of work.  It still is work, work, work, but I most times know what she wants when she cries now and is on a schedule! 

She's ready for bed at 8:30 PM and sleeps most times till 6:00 AM.  The only time she likes her swing is in the morning, so she goes in there for an hour or so.  She loves to lay on the floor and look at toys.  I started sitting her in a Bumbo for short periods of time and she likes that.  She always tries to sit up and does not like to be in a cradled position.  Mike carries her in his arms but as soon as he sits down, she starts crying.  She gives him the hardest time!  He is continuously saying, "You just want Daddy to walk around?  OK."  And he does.  We just laugh because she has him tied around her little finger already!

She laughs out loud now and we love that!  Her giggle and laugh is contagious!  When she smiles, we have to smile back!

I hope these are contagious and make you smile too!!!  Here's our happy little girl at 14 weeks old!

Hadassah is at camp all week, so it's been a lot of baby and brother time!
