First Steak Dinner

We went to the Precinct for Aunt Mitzi's birthday Friday. It is the best steak in the world. We were worried about taking Ashlyn into a really nice restaurant, but she did awesome. We left her in her car seat in the corner and didn't hear a peep out of her for the whole 2 hours. No one really got to see her cute dress, but we got a quick picture before leaving the house.

Matt and I got another few hours on the town last night. Went to a friends house to watch the Ohio State game. It was fun, but I was dead tired and ready to hit my bed by midnight. I think the 2 beers made me extra sleepy. On a very happy note, Ashlyn ate at 12:30, went to sleep an hour later and didn't wake up till 6:00, that made mommy very happy this morning.

Happy One Month

I am a couple days late posting this, but Ashlyn turned 1 month on Thursday, September 23. We had her one month Dr. visit. She weighs 9 lbs. 6 oz. Yep, our girl likes to eat!!!! Her head is flattening a little bit on one side, so we have to do everything to get her to lay her head the other way and balance it out. So far, not much success. Otherwise everything looked good. She got her 2nd Hep B shot and it made me cry. I hated seeing her scream bloody murder.

Can't beleive it's already been a whole month. This year is going to fly by:(

Our Chunky Monkey

After throwing up all over herself, it was bath time for Ashlyn last night. Here she is, content looking at Daddy, before the dip in the tub. Our furnace isn't working, so our house is a nice chilly 64 degrees. BURRR! No wonder bath time was no fun. Don't worry, mommy got to feel the cold wetness as she peed all over me when I wrapped her in the towel. Awesome! We have the 1 month appointment today, can't wait to hear how she's grown, she definitely likes to eat:) Look at that belly!

How Mommy gets stuff done

I put Ashlyn in the sling today to try and get some stuff accomplished around the house. I was worried at first because it didn't look very comfortable, but she feel asleep within like 2 minutes. It was nice to have two hands to do things, and I think she liked being close and cuddled up against me.

Also wanted to give a shout out to the most comfortable nursing bra ever. I went and got fitted at a bra boutique in Dayton. The bra is by Bravado. Had no idea I had gone from a 34B to a 34DD. No wonder that 36C felt so uncomfortable. I still love my nursing tanks ( glamourmom) the best, but this bra is also heaven sent. http://www.bravadodesigns.com

Tagged

My friend Katie tagged me so here I go- 7 things about me that are quirky, weird, something you didn't know, etc

1.I go by my middle name, my first name is Katherine

2. I think I have a good voice and like to sing loudly to Broadway musicals. Drives Matt crazy when i sing along to the CD's.....guess i'm not so good!

3.I kill plants, I don't mean too, just do not have a green thumb.

4. When i make cookies, I always eat the dough and almost never have the finished product.

5. I always sleep on my side, and hold my monkey and baby blanket (yes i'm 28)

6. I have an obsession with Halloween, and am secretly jealous of every girl who is going to dress up in fun, scandalous costumes this year.

7. I've never balanced my checkbook. I write everything down, but never go through and balance it.

Not sure who to tag, anyone feel free to jump on in and share!

Tracking

Ashlyn is starting to track a little bit more. Yesterday when I put her in the swing she actually watched the mobile. That is the first time she's really paid much attention to it. She is staring at our faces for a lot longer too, it's sweet.

Had a decent night, got 3 hours of sleep-up to feed-back in bed 50 minutes later- she went right back to sleep for another 2.5 hours- up for a half hour-then right back to sleep. I wish every night was that consistent. I'm sure it will just keep getting better.

Getting out and about

We aren't supposed to take Ashlyn out in public places for a few more weeks, but frankly it is torture trying to avoid any public places on a daily basis. We did meet up with Matt's mom and John on Friday afternoon for lunch at Chammps. The waitress commented on Ashlyn's cute cheeks, I swear that is the only thing anyone notices on her.

Matt and I got to have a date night on Friday. Kiki watched Ashlyn while we meet up with friends for a glass of wine and a movie. It was nice having a few hours to get out and socialize.

Rest of the weekend was quite uneventful. Some friends stopped over Saturday to watch the Ohio State game, Ashlyn slept through it, then we watched a movie. Sunday I hung out with my parents while Matt went to the Bengals game (pathetic). Overall, a beautiful, but somewhat lack luster weekend.

*Matt had his first throwup experience, Ashlyn got him really good!!! She won back his heart pretty quickly though, as you can tell by the second picture.
