Perfectly Imperfect Mom

Since I am the worst at doing monthly updates for the girls I am just going to do them together. 

Ashlyn is at a really fun and cute age. I love that she understands so much and tries to talk to us. She still doesn't really say words like Ace did at this age but she definitely tries to tell us what's up. She does a lot of pointing and babbling with it. Right now she is able to say go, wow, mama, baba, more and signs more. 
Everly's new thing is WALKING! This girl is too much. She started taking steps at 8 months and is now full on walking. I seriously can't believe it. 
Both of the girls had a very fun Christmas. They got baby dolls, a baby doll crib, stroller and carseat. We also got them some other toys but baby dolls was definitely the theme for this Christmas. 
They both are in similar sizes. Ashlyn fits in 12-18 months awhile Everly fits in 9-12 months. Both girls are up to the higher sizes mostly for height. Everly is very thin while Ashlyn still has a bit of the chub but has thinned out a lot but overall they are getting closer in size which is crazy. 
Personality wise Everly is still our crazy girl and Ashlyn is our sweet gentle one. They both are stubborn though. They are each others best friends as well. They love making each other laugh which is to die for. 
Ashlyn is a total Mommy's girl still and Everly is much more independent and would rather be walking around and exploring. Ashlyn loves being held and cuddled. Ashlyn also loves to sing into her Frozen Magical Microphone.
Overall the girls are on a similar eating and sleeping schedule, 2 naps and sleep 12 hours at night. I would like to move them to one nap a day but Everly still is in that in between stage where she still needs the morning nap. Ashlyn could be moved to one nap so depending on the day she will get one instead of two.

You are 10 months old!
Since I have been a slacker and haven't posted your other monthly updates here is what you have been up to the past couple of months…
You say Mama, Bop and occasionally Dada.

You are super clingy to me and hate whenever I have to leave the room or even walk away from you for a few seconds.

You hate taking naps.
You love to crawl around the house. You also can cruise on the furniture!
 photo DSCN3284_zpsd3974c0b.jpg
You are a great eater.
You are obsessed with the dogs.

Know your name (since about 7/8 months)
Last appointment at 9 months you were 28 inches, 21lbs.
You wear size  12 and 18 months clothes. 
Eat 3 meals a day and have 4 bottles. 
Sleep through the night and take two naps. 
You think Ace and Daddy are hilarious.

You love touching Everly's head and stealing toys from her.
Miss Ashlyn you are such an incredible little girl. You still have the sweetest smile and the biggest most beautiful eyes. We love you so so much!!

You are 7 months old! You have been such an easy baby. You are still a total Daddy's girl too. You give me little sweet smiles while Daddy gets huge smiles and giggles.

You have started to really enjoy Ace. You think he is super funny and he you like when he tickles you.

You love your Sophia Giraffe and Jumperoo still. 
You have been sleeping in your own room since March and you are a great sleeper. You have been having separation anxiety so we had a few nights of you getting upset when we walked away from your crib. We ended up patting your tummy and you were ok. 
 photo photo1_zpsdc86368b.jpg
You have the sweetest personality. People always ask us if you have a voice because you are so quiet and content all the time. You rarely cry and will just sit and hang out. Everyone just loves you. 
You are also sensitive to when your sister is crying. I noticed one time that when she cried you made a wimper noise as if you were sad for her. You have also cried when she has but not to get attention but as if you were upset she was upset. I have a feeling you are going to be a very caring, sweet, loving person growing up. 
 photo photo2copy_zpsba7c459c.jpg
You still only have two teeth and aren't crawling yet but you move yourself all around the floor to get what you want. No real words yet but you will make the "mama" sound randomly. 
Miss Ashlyn, you are such an incredible little girl. We love you so much!!!

I can't believe you are 6 months old my little angel. You are such an incredible little girl. From your sweet smile to your amazing disposition.
 photo 10268441_10102706756275571_7044928543721894616_n_zpsa3b2bbb5.jpg
Everyone who meets you can't get over what a happy and sweet baby you are. We have been told you have an old soul and I believe it. You just are so content with life and make everyone happy.
 photo 10170830_10102712006628821_3711646616521577789_n_zps63347c35.jpg
This past month you have been sitting up more and more. We still have to put a pillow behind you just in case but overall you are getting really great at sitting up.

Anchor Sleep and Play 

You love to eat and we started giving you yogurt melts and puffs. Both you are a big fan of.

You are still a total Daddy's girl. You just smile so big for him. You give me sweet smiles and try to hold my face but there is just something about your Daddy you just adore. It makes me so happy since I was a total Daddy's girl growing up.
 photo 10151348_10102660248826871_1866026782_n_zpseb311e4f.jpg
You are still such a big girl. I will know your stats on Monday but you are in 9 months clothes and I am pretty sure if I put you in 12 months on the bottom they'd fit. Your tank top onsies are 6 months but everything else has to be at least 9 months for you. 
You have become a terrible napper. It is slowly getting better though. You always fall asleep on our walks and sometimes in the car if you haven't napped so you will sneak in a cat nap there and sometimes will take one good nap at home. 
 photo 1451412_10102661553078141_279879341_n_zps1e3fe89a.jpg
You still only have 2 teeth on the bottom. I thought you were going to cut more because of your issues with sleep but still none in sight. 
 photo 10288752_10102703411892741_4246201591976793648_n_zps152a7079.jpg
I can't remember if this happened after you turned 5 months or before but you found your feet and like to put them in your mouth. 
 photo 10006977_10102682218729011_7272170452769431235_n_zps693f8f51.jpg
You are still a big "talker" much like your brother was. I swear between the two of you the house is never quiet. I am wondering if Everly will be the quiet one. 
Miss Ashlyn, you are just the most incredible little person. I don't think I go a day without thinking about how lucky we are to have you.

Miss Ashlyn,
Today you are 5 months old.
 photo 1969306_10102606023155551_729731515_n_zps9a0a22d7.jpg
You have been doing so much lately. You are siting up for a few seconds sometimes minutes. You are so strong.
 photo DSCN2872_zps246878ad.jpg photo DSCN2874_zpsd9d5910c.jpg
You had your first taste of purees, bananas. You loved it. 
You now have TWO teeth! They cut through the week of my birthday. You are so cute. 
 photo 10003496_10102634564653161_864629518_n_zps719be19a.jpg
You also are now sleeping in your crib through the night. You are such a great little baby. The first night in you slept till 6am and after that till your normal 8am. 
Another cute thing is you found your feet. This just happened and you have had a huge obsession with your hands so I am wondering if you will be as obsessed with your feet. 
Your favorites right now are your Jumperoo, Sophie Giraffe and baby doll.
Clothing wise you are now in 9 months! BIG GIRL! 
 photo 1901663_10102629475906051_1113692294_n_zps89cb795d.jpg
Jumperoo
People always think you are older than you are. They also comment on what a good baby you are. You are seriously so chill and easy going. Your brother was easy going too so we definitely have been really fortunate with you two. 
Your eyes are changing color. They were a light gray blue and are now a greenish color. Not sure if they will stay like that or turn brown. 
Wearing: 9 month clothes
Diaper: Size 3
Blowing bubbles/ raspberries

You are now 4 months old! Time is flying by. It definitely flies by a lot faster the second time around.
 photo 1908235_820096278007113_1569203427_n_zps595198f0.jpg
I can't get enough of you. You have the sweetest little smile. It's a soft, closed mouth smile and your eyes squint and your chubby cheeks look even chubbier. It's killer!
 photo 1922014_10102561316463121_561077029_n_zps5c170ea3.jpg
You love "talking". You are obsessed with your hands being in your mouth and will growl at them. You also "flirt" with your toys. It is the cutest thing.
 photo 1794812_10102548792526191_1030844380_n_zpse26acb59.jpg
You also have the best giggle. Daddy gets the best laughs out of you. You are quite a Daddy's girl, which is incredibly sweet but you definitely prefer Mommy to snuggle with and cuddle.
 photo 1451374_10102550438522601_1612555949_n_zpsf3550818.jpg
I must say you are such an incredible baby. You are always so content and happy. You sleep amazingly well and eat like a champ. We are so incredibly blessed to have you in our lives.
