Sick

Cade and Ashlynn got sick the week before Christmas. They were both lucky enough to have RSV. It started with steady fevers of 101 and then turned into to coughing and stuffy/runny noses. They were both so miserable for a few days. We went through tylenol like it was juice and a couple boxes of tissues. They both didn't eat or drink very much for a couple of days. It was sad to see them uncomfortable. Cade got better first and Ashlynn followed a few days later, just in time for Christmas. I'm hoping that will be our one and only sickness this winter.

Christmas

Christmas was fun this year. Cade is getting closer to understanding the concept of Santa and was a bit more exicted to open presents. Brian had to work on Christmas this year so we did our Christmas morning the day before. It was great to be able to enjoy the new toys with them before the hectic day of bouncing between our families on Christmas day.

6 Months old

 

My sister in law Natalee took some picture of Ashlynn when she was 6 months old. I think they turned out so cute.

At six months old Ashlynn is so fun. She is eating all sorts of baby food and finally sleeping through the night. She is trying really hard to crawl and is getting quite good at doing it in her own special way. She is very happy all the time and takes 2 naps a day one in the morning around 10 and again in the afternoon around 1 or 2. She hates to be left alone and will cry until she can see you again. Ashlynn of course loves Cade and thinks he is great. She is still very small, 24 inches and 14 pounds. She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes but I think I am going to switch her to 3-6 month clothes in January(she'll be 7 months then).
