Yep, the stomach bug seems to have drained all the life out of her, poor girl.
Unfortunately, she passed the stomach bug onto mommy and daddy, which practically knocked us out of the parenting game for the weekend. Heather ended up calling Grandma and Grandpa Wolfe, who entertained the little one for us on Saturday so we could rest.
But on to happier times. Ashlyn has a learned a few new things, and here they are in random order:
First, she has learned that that crawling over and under things is fun to do. This has made chasing her around more interesting since she’s capable of falling from higher up. Joy!
Making mommy and daddy laugh by posing for pictures is also entertaining, and it makes for some great pictures.
Using a cat as a wheelbarrow is amusing. Especially when the cat is too stubborn to run away.
Straws are a great way to get juice without spilling it everywhere (even little Aggies can drink without spilling!).
And finally, she learned that putting half a banana (pronounced “Bee-yaw” by Ashlyn) may not be the best way of eating things. This picture isn’t pretty by any means, but it has the look of a picture best brought out when she’s older and her friends are around.
Speaking of “bee-yaw”, her list of words is steadily growing, and I’ll end this blog post with the ones we’ve identified so far:
- Mommy - “ma ma ma ma ma”
- Daddy - “da da”
- Bye bye “ba ba”
- Banana - “bee-yaw”
- Cat - “caa” (she doesn’t end with the “t” sound yet)
- Dog - “du” (this is actually fairly intuitive considering the dog in question)
- Gig ‘em - “gig fmbph”
