10 weeks!

Ash,
You have the softest skin and hair ever.  I love just holding you and rubbing my check across the top of your head. I adore the feeling of your skin on mine.  And I hope that you want me to hold you for many, many years to come.  

You are 10 weeks old today.  The time has flown by faster than I even thought possible.  You are turning out to really love your guys - your grandpa, your daddy.  You smile so big when they are around and holding you.  You smile for me, too, but they get your biggest smiles.

You are almost sleeping through the night now! Getting so close...I think by the time you're 3 months, you'll be there.  And then it will be time to move you to your own room.  Aubs was never in our room with us, so this will be an interesting transition - I'm so used to having you in the cradle next to me every night.  I think I'll miss it in some ways.  

You have filled our lives with so much joy, Ashley! Aubrey adores you, and your daddy and I cherish you so much.  Thank you for coming into our lives!

Always and forever,
Mama

Aubs,
Oh how I love to watch you play when you think I'm not watching.  Today you were playing outside by yourself.  I went to check on you and you had gotten a broom.  You found a puddle of water in the cover of the fire pit, dipped the broom in and kept busy "mopping" the patio.  It was simply adorable! I hope you keep your wonderful imagination for years to come.  It brings me so much joy!

Always and Forever,
Mama
