Swimming In February!

Rocky's uncle Vernon and aunt Beverly have a house down in Maricopa that they live in during the winter months. It is in a really nice community with a big pool that was heated to 88 degrees! Rocky loves water and has been wanting to take Ashlyn swimming since the day she was born so he was so excited!

The smallest swimming diapers we found were for 16 pounds and up so they were really huge on her!

Only in Arizona can you swim in February!

She was so exhausted after swimming, she slept cuddled up in this towel for three hours!

Ashlyn Rolled Over!

We have been starting to put Ashlyn on her belly for exercise, but it doesn't usually last long since she doesn't like it, it just makes her mad. So last night Rocky put her on her belly. She pushed herself up and squirmed around and after struggling for a while she tucked her left shoulder and leg and she rolled over without any help. We didn't expect her to start rolling over just yet so we were a little shocked and of course we didn't get it on camera either! I was actually really bummed because I was in the other room and totally missed it. So we tried to get her to do it again but she was too tired, she couldn't even hold herself up. Then tonight we put her on her belly again and she rolled right over with less of a struggle. We really thought that last night was an accident and she didn't really mean to roll over so we didn't know it would happen again and so quickly this time. She is barely two months old! I guess she figured that if we are going to keep putting her on her belly she will figure out how to get onto her back! It is so fun to watch all the new things they learn!

She is also getting closer to sitting up on her own too!! She sat up for about 20 seconds on her own in this picture.

Vanessa's Baby Shower!:)

Last weekend (Feb 2nd, I get a little behind on my blog sometimes:)), Ashlyn and I drove to Moab Utah for Vanessa Hirigoyen's baby shower. Vanessa is having a boy and is naming him Gabriel Dale! Vanessa looks so cute pregnant I am glad I got to see her, she lives up in northern Utah so we don't see each other much.:( I am excited for her, she will make a great and fun mom! It is also cool that our babies will only be four months apart!




Vanessa and Ashlyn finally meet!


Vanessa's mom, Yvonne, and Ashlyn. Such a cute picture of them!


Vanessa and I have been best friends since fourth grade and I am so glad to have her as a friend. We have lived in different states for about the last seven years so sometimes it is easy to loose touch for a while but we always seem to pick up where we left off like we haven't been apart!

Ashlyn's two month checkup!

We took Ashlyn in for her two month checkup today! She weighs 12lbs 1oz and is 23.5 inches long! She is in the 75th percentile for weight and the 80th percentile for height! The Dr was really impressed with her head control! She can hold her head up and look around and sit up pretty good too with help, she is such a strong baby.


I was so happy that Rocky got to go to the appointment with us!

What do you moms think about vaccinating babies? I hear different things like how they can cause autism and have reactions. I haven't done very much research on them but I have heard that some could wait until they are a little bit older, like the hep B shot since she isn't really exposed to hep b right now. I am not against vaccinating, it just seems like a lot to inject into such a little body. Anyway, just wanted to hear what you all thought:).

Ashlyn is two months old!

I can't believe Ashlyn is already two months old! She is growing so fast, it really seems like I was in the hopital having her last week! She has been so fun! I love watching her start to smile and make little noises. It is so crazy how much she has changed since she was born!
