About Ashton


Ashton is one happy little baby! He is just over nine weeks old and is already growing up so fast and is gaining the funnest personality! Just a little about him...

-He's a huge snuggler
-Is very content and hardly cries
-Loves to lay on the floor or bed and kick
-Has been able to hold his head up by himself since day one
-Loves the bath and cries when it's over
-Sleeps at night for 4-6 hours at a time
-Is the happiest and smiliest in the morning
-Loves walks and car rides
-Is learning to laugh and "talk"
-Loves when I sing to him (especially the theme song to Gilmore Girls)
-Is already sprouting his first tooth at nine weeks old
-Has a love/hate relationship with the swing and binky
-Hates his arms being swaddled, so I swaddle him from the armpits down
-Is starting to suck on his hand and loves sticking out his tongue
-Is starting to splash in the bath tub
-Hates when I suck the boogers out of his nose
-Loves being outside
-Is easily entertained by the ceiling fan and light
-Always has wide eyes and is so alert and curious
-Is a mama's boy

Chase and I sure love this little boy of ours! He gets more fun everyday, and I'm so lucky to be his mom! There are so many things I've learned from being a mom. Sometimes it's hard to sacrifice all my time and the things I want to do, but it's definitely worth it. Elder Holland's talk on motherhood is a great reminder that what I'm doing is a wonderful, selfless, and Christlike thing. Life is so happy!
