Pictures

I had a gift certificate and coupons for Target Portrait Studio so I took Bennett and Ashley in to get a few pictures taken. Since I had Bennett's taken in the fall I only wanted a few of him and Ashley together and then of Ashley by herself. I am working on a picture collage on my family room wall downstairs (hopefully a future post in a few weeks) so some of the black and white ones are the ones I ordered to finish this collage.
You should be able to click the link below and view the slide show album of the pictures taken today. They turned out very good (even though we couldn't get Ashley to smile for anything) oh well...

First PonyTail

Kristen had fun with Ashley yesterday and put her hair in her first ponytail. I have a feeling Kristen will be doing these for years and years to come (and probably won't mind at all!)

My Angel

My camera was acting goofy but it made for a few great pictures. She looks so sweet and innocent just like an angel.

It's Been Awhile...

It's been awhile since I've been able to get on here. We've been busy but not with anything very exciting (except our basement floors which I'll post about later this week).
So, here are just some pictures to update you on our lives.
Bennett with his new "hat"
Bennett got caught ON the counter AT 8:11 EATING a Swiss Cake Roll!
They were watching Sesame Street together - so cute
He got caught again - in Ashley's exasaucer - he was alittle too big but had to try it out I guess.

2 Months Old

I can't believe I'm writing that she's 2 months already!!! Ashley has changed so much in the past few weeks. She seems to be eating constantly - about 4-5 oz every three hours if not sooner. She is sleeping about two really long naps during the day and also sleeping the night from about 11:00-7:00! We couldn't get any more lucky with that. She's smiley and likes to talk and coo. She also though seems to be getting crabbier if she's awake and not being fed or held (while walking around). She loves her mobile so luckily I can put her in the crib and she'll watch it for half hour or more at a time. One of her absolute favorites is falling asleep in the car seat with her snowsuit on. She falls asleep daily on the way home from Grandma's house and I'll keep her in there and she'll sleep for about 2 hours all bundled up. She got to taste Cookie Crisp cereal the other day. One morning I got Bennett his breakfast and was warming up her morning bottle. She was screaming and Bennett was concerned and I said to him "she'll be ok, she's just hungry". Well by the time I got in the living room she had 2 of those small little cookies in her mouth. I couldn't get mad at him because he was only trying to help but believe me, he did get a stern talking to!
She had her 2 month checkup today and here are all of her stats:
Weight - 11 lb. 10 oz. = 76% Height - 23 inches = 73%
Clothes - 0-3 month (with some already seeming snug)
Diapers - size 1 (she'll be in these until this size is used up)
She also got 3 shots today which she did not like! She screamed for at least 5 minutes. It was weird though to see pink Barbie bandaids - I'm used to Spiderman!
And as an added bonus to this post, right during the middle of typing this I had to go change her and I ended up putting her on her tummy for a few minutes. She totally lifted her head up a few inches and luckily I had the camera in reach. Guess she wanted to show off alittle for you.

Daddy Got Me Dressed Today

Mike got Ashley dressed this morning and realized he did something wrong after he already had her pants on. He says it's fine and that she looks like a gymnast or ballerina. I think it looks like she's going to the gym to workout (in the 80's!)

Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines supper = heart shaped pizza, heart shaped jello blocks (that didn't turn out very well) and heart shaped cookies!
Valentines Day Bonus = Bennett went potty 4 times today!!! And Ashley has been smiling for a few weeks but today was the first day where she would look at you and just start smiling without us trying to make her smile.
Love You All from The Ford's!
