Ash got his first two bottom teeth at the exact same time exactly four months ago. We knew Ash was teething again but nothing was popping through until! Yesterday! Clive finally found the tooth. We’d been looking in the wrong spot! I really thought he was getting his front teeth, but this one is a […]

Ash Claps

Originally uploaded by typealice

Ash has learned a new trick! It only took a couple of weeks for him to learn how to clap.

I’m a part of a pretty large online community of moms. Recently the website has undergone some ownership changes and because of that I’ve decided to leave the site (along with some other moms). To keep those friendships active and to keep the support ongoing I decided to start a new website where we […]

Ash clapped for the first time today. He was sitting on the floor while I was on the phone with Visa (cancelling my card because I lost my wallet) and Clive was on the bed looking for my wallet and when I looked over, he was clapping! I’ve been playing pattycake with him for a […]

We made it! Ash did AMAZING on all three flights, not a single tear. We nursed on all the take offs and landings and he looked out the window and tried to make friends with everyone around him. Travelling with him was so much easier than I thought it’d be. Stuck him in his sling […]

Dear Ashden,
Holy camoli, you’re eight months old today! Have I mentioned yet that you’re amazing? Let’s start of this newsletter by telling you how fantastic you are. YOU ARE FANTASTIC! AMAZING! THE BEST PERSON ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!

You’re a talking machine, my little friend. You said your first word this month, and it just happened […]

Ash has painlessly given up his soother in the past week. It was a zillion times easier than I imagined.
Unfortunately the soothers he’s had since he was three weeks old contained BPA and have been taken off the shelves here.

7pm bedtime
Rarely wakes up (only once, sometimes twice) between then and 11pm when I come to bed.
11pm potty and nurses back to sleep
1am wakes to nurse (only on some nights)
3am wakes to nurse (most nights)
5am wakes to play for an hour
6am goes back to sleep with me
7:30am gets up to play until 9am with Clive […]

Ash was weighed in at 19lbs 15.5oz about a week before his eight month birthday.

Oh god, the love I have for this little creature, it overwhelms me. Today he found a white jelly bean and he got his first taste of sugar. Then when I was eating them and he was sitting on my lap, he smelled the sweet, sweet smell and looked up at me, directly into my […]
