STOP THE PLASTIC!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
If it wasn’t for my naitivity before Ash was born and the presents from other people, I would forbid plastic toys in this house. Those close to me know that I prefer if Ash only has wooden and BPA-free toys because articles like this scare the crap out of me.

Laughing
Filed Under Developmental Milestones | Leave a Comment
Ash has really started laughing a lot more in the past two days (at about six months, three weeks old). It takes very little to make him giggle now, whereas before it took SO MUCH EFFORT (lots of belly snorts!). Love it, love it, love it.

Ash took his first crawling “steps” today at my mom’s house while my sister, mother and I looked on. He didn’t get more than a couple of inches, but he did it!! I’m so proud! Six months and two weeks old!

Yesterday Ash was army craling all over my mom’s house, chasing the cats (he LOVED THEM) and trying to get closer to the wood stove (he also loves fire). He was giggling like crazy (not real giggles, but instead the inhaling giggles and cooing) over touching the cats.
