If you’re wondering why the blog has been silent the past week or so, it’s because of another baby cold. Baby colds aren’t like big people colds. Baby colds mean you wake up and cry at least 7 times each night. In comparison, when I have a cold I only get up and cry once, twice tops.
It’s been a tiring week, but luckily we’re past that now and Ashlyn is back to her happy self. I’m also happy to report that Ashlyn has passed yet another baby milestone, and is now officially a clapper. Apparently that’s a big thing, clapping, and she seems to enjoy it. She’s also graduating to sitting in the tub instead of laying in the baby tub. This means that splashing is now a nightly routine, which is great because mom and dad get to join her in getting wet. It also means we can give her fun hairdoos.
Other than that, as you can see from the picture with the baby puffs, we have to keep a close eye on her or things start flying. We consider it being rebellious and destructive, but the baby books call it “exploring”. Either way, we just can’t seem to get mad at her for it, so we we laugh and take pictures instead.
