Yeah for Ashley who is finally starting to talk. She's been roaring like a lion and trumpeting like an elephant for ever and just today she "baaa"ed . She was saying "nana" for banana for a while and would very seldom say dog, but dog has made it to the top of her tiny list of words. But the surprising one is "zusas" for Jesus. I look forward to the morning when I hear "mama" coming from the crib instead of the usual yell of "Aaaahh" or to hear her first version of Rachel. Hopefully more will be coming quickly.The past couple months we've had to set a complete table setting for Ashley and if we forgot her fork or napkin and everyone else had one she'd remind us. No more dry cereal for Ashley she wants to sit in her seat, with milk in her bowl and eat it with a spoon. This week she has decided to add real cups to her meal time need. Surprisingly she does pretty well with a cup.
She likes to color and doesn't want to be left out of anything so when Rachel sat down to paint, guess who else wanted to give it a try. I was smart enough to give her colored construction paper and water. It did the trick.
