Wait for it.... its the shoes!

Happy 7th Month!

Ashlynne is 7 months tomorrow, 15.5 pounds and 25 inches long! Her hair is coming in a light brown color and her eyes are crystal blue! Im loving her eye lashes! They are getting really thick and dark. She is still nursing every feeding, with the addition of solids at lunch and dinner! I know some kids live for those solids but not Ashlynne! She will eat it when its in front of her but its not a must... still a "ninny" baby! She sleeps all night and will nap sometimes. She goes through phases. She LOVES the movie Cat in the Hat. (with Mike Meyers) We watch it over and over and over again! The excersaucer is also not a "must have". We enjoy the swing in the mornings, with one helping of Cat in the Hat (sometimes two!)

Ashlynne has the best personality. Toys that make noise and light up, fleese blanket, cheers, Lola, Momma, standing/bouncing, dvd player in the car and Cat in the Hat are some of our "must haves". She loves to take a bath and play Peek-a-boo. Entertaining herself is not her strong suit! Momma stays very busy! She will sit and watch kids play. It looks like shes just gonna take off running! I think shes going to love to play with other kids. Even now, she will laugh when they play with her and flap her little arms. Its very cute.

She definitely knows what she wants! (wonder where she got that?) She lets me know, very quickly, efficiently and with plenty of punch, when she is happy, sad, mad, hungry, wet and ready for bed. Sweet sweet sweet baby.

She had two bouts of ear infections (in both ears) and a viral infection with a nasty cough this month. They almost hospitalized her last Thursday for observation. She ran a fever 3 days in a row of 102 at noon. It was the oddest thing. I was always able to get it to come down but it was still scary. Babies being sick is not fun for anyone! Were still battling the croopy sounding cough and feeling crummy but overall, no more fevers.

We are preparing for her first pageant February 5th! She is wearing an adorable teal blue dress with lots of foo foo and glitz. You should see her face light up when I put the dress on her. Oh, she is a natural. I can already tell! Mommy is practicing the hold, so you see the dress and baby... not Mommy! Im sure when the lights hit her and we're in front of everyone, she will light up like a little fire cracker. Its going to be very fun. Those pics to come! Keep your fingers crossed that she wins her age group! I hope so!!!!

Happy 7 months sugar!
