3 months old!

Sorry it's been so long since an update! I ended up getting swine flu so I was out of commission for a week. And between work and a baby with a cold, there hasn't been time for much updating. She's all smiles now!! It's so fun! As soon as she sees me she gest all happy and loves talking to me and telling me about her day. I think she likes mom more than dad...maybe it's just because I'm the source of food...

She's almost pushing herself up all the way. She can't quite figure out how to do it. But she's reaching for things now. She has to really want it though. But she's just too much fun! She's drooling now more than ever!

She was totally passed out last week. Her cold was starting to settle in and she was just wiped out. It's still going on...sleepless nights and napless days, not much more mommy can take. She will get so congested not even saline and suction help. A humidifier doesn't do anything for the poor girl. She's just so miserable but still forces smiles for us. She's such a trooper! This morning she woke up for good screaming her head off and choking and within 5 min she was still coughing but smiling in between. So for being sick, she's really being tough.

Not much else is new with the Bowler's. Ashlyn is experiencing her first snow and she just looks at it like, what is this stuff??

Her first thanksgiving is coming and we are so so so grateful for our precious little girl and how much joy and love she has brought to our lives!

She's getting so big!

We can't believe how big Ashlyn is getting. My mom says she's just like me. Looked like my dad, was always standing up, physically and mentally ahead of the norm and super strong, like a little super baby. They're twins! Yeah the wall is an ugly yellow....we can't paint them...and we didn't paint them...we want to paint them....that yellow gives me a headache...

She will do this for hours during the day and gets all happy. She was very grumpy last night because of her shots and teething. Usually she is all smiles. Excuse the mess...we are crammed into a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with Enoch's brother and his wife and have been since she was born.

Her happy moment last night followed a little later by frantic fussies.

2 month shots

Ashlyn got her 2 month shots yesterday and was such a big girl! She screamed her head off right after her shots and it just killed me!! So as soon as the nurse was done I scooped her up and cuddled her and quieted her down in a few minutes....poor thing!

Her stats are
12.5 lbs 70%
23.5 inches 64%

AND she's TEETHING!

She's been chewing on everything from her blankets to her fist to my knuckles to her paci to her bottle and drooling like mad so the doc took a look and said, she's an early bloomer...congrats......

But as far as her physical develpment she's quite a bit ahead of the norm I was told. She can prop her self up and almost scoot herself across the floor when she kicks her legs. She's learned if she digs her toes into the carpet while she's on her tummy she can acutally move and she'll pick up her arms and move them under her. She loves to stand and move her little hips but now that she's getting stronger, she doesn't hula as much anymore. She will "walk" across the floor but doesn't know what she's doing.
