My baby pics...

A couple of people have said I looked similar to Ashlyn as a baby. I think mainly the big eyes. Here are a couple of my baby pics when I was 6 weeks vs. Ashlyn at almost 3 weeks. What do you think?

First Family Walk and Tummy Time

 Our first walk as a family...how sweet! 

The 4 Steps of Tummy Time

(Tummy time is to help those neck and arm muscles get stronger.)

Step 1: "This isn't too bad, mommy."

Step 2: "Ughh....this is hard. My head is so heavy!"

Step 3: Bottom lip starts to protrude. 

 Step 4: "Stop torturing me, mommy!"

Ashlyn and the Animals

We have 2 cats, Maestro and Persephone. They were both very nervous around Ashlyn at first but now they seem somewhat annoyed and a little jealous. We also have two dogs, Shipley and Emma, but they live with my mom (who lives on the same street). They used to come over all the time but that hasn't really been possible. They seem interested in Ashlyn a little but I think they are jealous too. I thought I'd include some pictures of them so they know they're still special.
