Losing My Mind

So this evening Ashton was opening a belated birthday gift from my grandparents. She received an American Girl doll bitty baby. She was walking around playing mommy to her bitty baby and to her baby Honey. We asked what she was doing because she kept walking back and forth between the living room & the kitchen, putting her babies in the high chair and in the rocking chair. She said "I don't know I'm just losing my mind with all these babies." lol

Sometimes I just don't know what to do with her.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

So the wrapping, the baking, and working is all done. We spent the evening with my grandmother and had a wonderful gathering. I think I just heard the reindeer leave the top of the roof. Man the rose such a clatter.

looks like ashton must have been a good girl this year to receive so many toys.

I cannot wait to see the look on her face in the morning when she sees it.

I hope everyone has a safe and merry christmas!

Christmas time is here.

As we draw closer to Christmas Day, the panic sets in as to what all is left to do in preparation for the joyous holiday season. Monday we had Ashton's christmas pictures made in which she did wonderful up until it got close to nap time then we got cranky but we got through it and got some beautiful pictures from it.

She opened gifts with her Mommy Julia and Bubba on thursday with a help from Topher on assembling the toys. She was surprised and unable to understand why there were so many presents just for her and none for anyone else.

Ashton always keeps me on my toes with the funny comments she makes throughout the day. For example, I think that I have made my child a little concieted and full of herself because I make a point to try to tell her she is beautiful everyday. Well on thursday morning we are getting dressed for christmas party at MDO and she has just had a fresh diaper put on and is waiting on me to put on clothes. As I start to put on her shirt, she says "wait mommy". I looked at her puzzled and asked "Why?" She looks up at me very serious look on her face and says " Mommy can i just go naked today I look pretty that way?" It took everything in my power not to giggle at her as i proceeded to explain that even if she is cute naked she shouldn't go out in public without clothes plus it was really cold out and clothes keep her warm. She did eventually buy my story to put on clothes but not without a few giggles.

One month.

It has been exactly a month since Ashton & I were in our wreck. Today we travel back to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital to have a follow up CT scan on Ashton's skull to make sure the fracture is healing. I pray that all goes well. I can't believe it's been a month already. Time flies by so fast...

In just over a month from now my sweet baby girl will be two...I still can remember her tiny self at 8lbs 2oz...now she is about 28lbs and talking up a storm. Oh how quiet days are a thing of the past.

the stockings were hung by the chimney with care

I am having such a hard time finding gifts for Ashton this christmas. I am finding that the "smart" toys she isn't big enough for yet and the toys that are for her age she is too smart for. Such a predicament.
She is getting so excited by all the christmas lights out in the yards of our neighbors. She says "they so pretty mommy." And she loves helping put the ornaments on the tree. She was helping her nanny and she kept saying "don't worry nanny i be REAL careful" as she made her crazy eyes. lol

Christmas

Ashton asked me why we get presents for christmas and I was explaining to her that we exchange presents to celebrate Jesus' birthday. She exclaimed BABY JESUUUUSSS! like the one from church...I said yes ma'am just like the one we talk about at church. she is so funny.

Heart Melting

I love hearing sweet Ashton telling me "I love you mommy...so much." It just makes my day.=]
