Where in the world has January gone. . .

It feels like time has flown by since Christmas and we've been super busy doing anything and everything!  Ashley has been growing like crazy and is over 35in tall and finally 22lbs! :)  Her hair has gotten super long and she loves for mommy to curl and play with her hair!  

She is a girly girl who loves her tutu's, dancing, singing, and playing with her dollies!  She is well rounded though because she can kick a soccer ball, loves to shoot basketball hoops and can play in the dirt with her dump trucks better than some boys! :)   She has always loved reading books, but we have such great snuggle time throughout the day to rock in the rocking chair and read like crazy!  One of my favorite things is to watch her read the same books to her animals/dollies and hear her version of the story!

January was a busy time, we got Grandma and Holly moved into their new apartments and Ashley was the best helper carrying smaller things to the Uhaul's and even better at painting Auntie Holly's new apartment!  They both have beautiful new homes and we're thankful they moved in the winter! :) hahaha

Ashley has become very independent and has started playing longer stretches by herself without needing anything from anyone!  It's great to see her growing up, but sad that she doesn't need me as much!

Here is a combination of different pictures from the last 2 months!
