To start out, Ashlyn learned how to stand about a week ago. One minute she was working at it, holding on to ledges and window sills, and the next thing you know she’s standing up on two legs banging on the glass. And once she figured it out, she decided to practice. She caught us by surprise this weekend by exploring around the entry way, and before we knew it she was up on the first step of the stairs and working on the second one. It was a big “uh-oh” moment which resulted in a dash to Target for a baby gate.
I also learned that Ashlyn has crazy hair. She has a lot of it for her age, and it goes everywhere. Interestingly, once it’s in place it likes to stay that way. The picture on the left (below) is her hair several hours after taking off the little bands that were holding up some pigtails. The other two pictures are just random pictures showing her varying hair styles.
And lastly, a very happy birthday to Great Grandma Russell!
