Last week we put Ashtyn in her crib in her room. It was a big step! I was really sad to see her leave her pack n play that has been in our room but she did great! She slept really well... wish I could say the same for me and Dave. We were getting up every couple of hours to check on her... even though we have a baby monitor. I also had to start packing away Ashtyn's newborn clothes. She's too big for them now. How sad :( Look at this big girl sitting in her Bumbo! Ashtyn started smiling at us this week also! Dave got a couple of smiles out of her before I did. She first smiled at me this morning at 4 am before I fed her. This smile couldn't be mistaken for gas or anything else! Her eyes were open and and when I started talking to her, she gave me two of the biggest grins! I was so excited, I almost woke up Dave to have a look! P.S. I made the bow and my sister Theresa made the head band! I also went back to work this week. It was a lot of fun to see everyone. I was dreading leaving Ashtyn, but knew she would be in good hands with Dave. I survived the first week but believe me, when Friday rolled around, I was so tired, I didn't get anything done! The sad thing is, I only work three days a week for only five hours... and I was that pooped! I guess I'm out of the habit of standing for that long! "Ahhh help me! Mom keeps dressing me up like I'm some kind of doll!" Look at those cheeks... Don't you just want to squeeze them?!!

I love that picture of her in the Bumbo. She looks so big. What a beautiful little baby.
