My Week






I had to write about so many crazy things that happened this week. Last weekend, while Wes was out of town, we had an exciting time...first an offer on our condo that didn't work out, then my car battery died when I was on the way to Ashton's appointment. A neighbor jumped us and we went to Advanced Auto Parts to get a new battery where an older gentleman (just another customer) argued with the employee about how to fix my car while looking under the hood, the employee won and proceeded to install the battery and share with me his life story which was really interesting about how he is trying to get into pharmacy school and was laid off at IBM etc, etc, a random guy gave me his "business card" while we were there that apparently hangs out at Advanced auto parts doing repair work. Then when we got home and took Haley for a walk, she rolled in something disgusting while I wasn't looking, so she had green slime all over her back that smelled horrible. I thought it could be something that had died and she rolled in the remains so I had to bathe her by myself which is no easy task. Then this week on Tuesday I woke up and stepped in Haley's vomit she had left in the night and had to clean it up. I dealt with vomit and the flu all day at work and came home to find Ashton taking his first bottle of formula ever with Wes which he threw up afterwards all over our dining room and while i was cleaning it up(trying not to vomit myself) Haley kept trying to lick it up. Gross. It reminded me of Kate on John and Kate Plus 8 saying she was so sick of dealing with poop. I was so sick of dealing with vomit and Ashton wasn't even sick, thankfully. Then yesterday at work while i was pumping in my office, I head a "cockle doodle doo"...one of the doctors had bought a rooster and had it dropped off at the office where he kept it in a box all afternoon! Everytime he took it out to show someone, the rooster thought it was morning so we heard it crowing quite a bit. Needless to say, it has been a crazy week and Ashton just got 7 immunizations so the weekend should be fun too! Here are some more recent photos I like. The hat was Wes' baby hat!

Look at Me at Six Months!

























Happy Six Month Birthday to Ashton (and Audrey and Luke later this week)! We celebrated with brunch at Sweet Melissa's and a trip to a Decatur park. Thanks to the Fosters who tried out the baby swing with Audrey a few weeks ago and let us know the babies could fit in them now. Maybe we'll always let them pave the way on safety issues! Just kidding Audrey!

Smiles, Cereal, and Toes!

I've missed posting pictures the last three months while we have been having computer issues! Hopefully it is all worked out now, so here are some highlights since Christmas/New Year's . This is from a few weeks ago while Wes was on the phone (over TEN HOURS) with Dell. I thought Ashton might take a nap in his swing but this is what I found when I walked in his room...I think he knew he should be sleeping! The pillow behind him was a sweet gift from a band mom. It is specially made for his neck problem which by the way is doing so much better! We're still going to therapy twice a month and he has a second head scan today to determine whether or not he will have to wear a helmet. We are really hoping he won't need it!

Solids! This is Ashton's first taste of rice cereal!




This is from a visit with one set of my grandparents-Ashton's great grandaddy Earl who he adores!



This is from a visit with the Siples-Lelia and Ashton looked so cute together and we're excited about her new baby brother on the way!
