Ashton's First Haircut!!!

Ashton was SUCH a big boy for his first haircut. He sat perfectly still in his little booster chair and let the hairdresser do her thing! He giggled and scrunched his eyes when she put the electric clippers to his scalp. Can't believe my little punkin is getting so big!

Don't Wipe My Face!!!

I think he saw me coming at him with his washcloth, about to wipe off all of his hard "squash" work...

Ashton's First Park Visit!

Grammie and Papa came and visited two weekends ago (on April 11th-13th) and we took Ashton to a nearby park. He LOVED the swing and sliding down the slide with mommy.

Easter in the Mountains

Below are a few pics from our Mountain trip, this past Easter. We had a wonderful time visiting family and relaxing in the beautiful Cattail Creek community. We also got to see our newly purchased property!! Ashton was crawling everywhere (his new trick at the time) and was quite the hit (of course)! It was great to visit and catch up with everyone.

The Tongue Master

Ashton has mastered the art of sticking out his tongue. The two bottom pictures are actually backdated from February. The top one was from a recent trip to the park. You can also see quite a bit of his tongue handiwork in the slideshow from the previous post...

Ashton - 7 1/2 Months

The Hat Saga Continues...

I seriously hope he does not resent me for this when he is a teenager...

Sorry, Ashton!

Ashton, about to yank on Jackson's collar.

Oh! I have let this blog go too too too long. OK, so once again, I have some catching up to do. But seriously, only because I have the single most BUSY 6 month old! He is all over the place; rolling, scooting, faux-crawling (it will not be long), and reaching for anything that he can get. Ashton is oh so curious. He wants to see, feel, listen to, and TASTE everything. And I mean everything. John and I have quickly learned that he cannot be left alone on his playmat anymore. He can actually scoot to the other side of the room in about 30 seconds. Tonight, as I was sitting with him on his quilt that Pema made him, he was playing with his toys and I was reading my weekly People Magazine. It was time to take my squash and zucchini bake out of the oven, so I ran into the kitchen and set the casserole on top of the oven. In the 60 seconds that it took, Ashton had torn my magazine into about one hundred pieces. He had two huge fistfuls of it and was working on getting one of the fistfuls into his mouth. He looked so proud of himself.

Grandad's 70th Birthday in St. Pete

For my Grandad's 70th birthday, Ashton and I drove down to St. Pete with Grammie and Papa to help surprise him with a birthday dinner at Carrabba's. Daddy had to go back to Houston for work, but since I was off through the new year, we decided to stay and make the short trek down to St. Pete. We had a wonderful time celebrating with our family and spending the night on the beach.

Grandad and his # 1 and 1/2... He calls me his #1 because I am the oldest grandchild, so he has now coined Ashton his # 1 and 1/2.

Another animal hat...

The first post that I ever posted on this blog was about all of the animal hats that I put Ashton in. I'm still doing it...
