Week At A Glance

So I'm not really brave at just feeding my daughter anything or letting her eat whatever she wants, I'm the paranoid mom that thinks she'll choke on everything, but I think I've been doing better and I've been feeding her a lot more table food... I've always fed her mashed potatoes, fries, beans, cooked carrots, bread, some meat and rice but I decided to try pasta - Blake was making fun of me because I cut them up in tiny pieces but hey at least I'm trying - right! Well we found out that she LOVES pasta with red sauce so I think I'll try mac n' cheese sometime this week! On another note - I've taught Ashlyn where her nose, ears and teeth are and she happily points to them but only when Blake and I are around!! She is also doing really well at following instruction, she's hilarious and does a totally FAKE laugh, we have to get it on video! We went to the Temple lights for Family night and Ashlyn really enjoyed it, I must say it was VERY busy and hard to move around a stroller - but very worth the try! Also my little brother Greg came home from the Detroit Michigan Mission on Wednesday and he's the last of my siblings to return so it is nice knowing we'll ALL be together for holidays from now on! He'll be heading back up to University of Utah in January to continue playing football for them! (They just won there bowl game against Navy in San Diego this past week, what a great game!) We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
