4 months, 5 day until Christmas. There, did that get your attention? Now you're feeling what I'm feeling. Total disbelief.
In addition to her daily antics, Ashley really is learning and picking up new things on a daily basis. Whenever she hears Jake's truck going down the driveway in the morning she walks to the window, waves and say "Bye Dada." Talk about precious! Lately as it gets closer to mealtime she'll walk to her highchair and either try to climb in or drag it over to the kitchen all the time saying "Bite. Bite. Please." So polite! And just today she got my attention, pointed to her mouth (an American Sign Language sign for 'eat'), then took off and dug through the bag until she found her container of crackers. Such a smartie-pants! Ashley also knows the signs for 'all done' and 'more', but today was the first time she used a sign to 'tell' me what she wanted and I was floored (and just a teensy bit proud!). While we aren't necessarily trying to teach her signs, there are some we've just done out of habit and it amazes us how quickly she picked up on them. There's no doubt she's no longer a baby but a (independent if you ask her) toddler who is learning quicker than we ever even imagined.
Wow. 20 months. Where has the time gone?
Trying hard to look cute at the splash-park earlier today.
....Wait. What am I talking about? I don't have to try!
Going for a swim

Who has more fun at the splash-park Mommy or me?
Snack time!
One day I may kill Mommy for posting this picture but she says she can't get enough of my cutie little patootie
The fun continued with a picnic and playground after the pool
