Saturday I decided it was time for Ashlyn's hair to have a "trim" because it wasn't even and the top isn't really growing at the rate as the back and sides (can you say mullet) she sat in my hair chair so good on Blake's lap while eating a sucker and smiling the whole time. Ashlyn has become a "depends on the moment" eater - sometimes she will eat anything we stick in front of her and other times she gives me this look like, "Eww are you serious Mom". We used to have to feed her off our plates because it must have tasted so much better from our plate but that doesn't work anymore! She's really into feeding herself - not just picking it up with her fingers but she wants to use the fork alone... She also tries so hard to put her own socks on and if she can't get it she gets really annoyed, sometimes she'll try to put socks on me! I'm almost dreading the day when she has to Pick Out her own clothes by herself without my help! As it gets closer to our weekend getaway in a few weeks and I have to leave Ashlyn for 2 nights with our parents I get so nervous thinking that I will just miss her like crazy and worry the whole time and hope she's being good and having fun! Why is being a mom so weird - we want breaks and when we get them we just miss our kids and can't wait to see them! I guess leaving her for a few days will just make me appreciate her even more.

New Tricks, First Hair Cut and Independence
We've been having fun since we returned home from our vacation and Ashlyn has become quite the dare devil! After she mastered climbing on chairs and the window sill, she had to get on the coffee table and the couch... She jumps and dances on the coffee table and of course has fallen off a few times - but now she insists on climbing up the couch and then to the arm of the couch and jumping off, she lost balance on Sunday and fell between the couch and our recliner which ended with a scraped forehead and a goose egg! No worries she got back on the couch minutes later. Today while going to get diapers out of her room I came back to the living room and found that she climbed the book shelf and was laying across the 2nd shelf smiling and saying "Cheese"!!!

So where is her beautiful red hair from?
She's such a cutie! Oh, to monitor your site, just do a search for "google analytics". You'll have to imbed a "tracker" into the html code on your blog, but then you'll get daily reports on how many people come to your blog and from where, etc. It's pretty nifty. I started it three days ago and was a little shocked at how many people I didn't know were checking us out. Good luck! If you need any help installing it, let me know!
Ashlyn is so cute! And so big!! It's about time for Brooklyn to have a haircut too. She is definitely pulling the mullet look! I agree that it's tricky being a mom sometimes. We want our alone time and then we miss our children. I guess that's how it's supposed to be so we keep coming back! ;) Hope you guys have a fun trip!!
