Popsicle!

The last few warm days of the year and poor Ashley is cutting a tooth and battling a cold, so I made her a popsicle from her apples and pears baby food. She ate about 3/4 of it and then decided to pull it off the stick and play with it!

First Steps!

Ashley took about 4 steps on her own today. However, she was in no mood to be recorded after that. Later on, she started to take a couple steps right before we were heading up for bed. She was tired and a bit crabby, but I caught it on video (she wanted to grab the camera)

Ashley is officially a toddling toddler!

(Please ignore my butt!)

Go Fetch!

I couldn't believe how long this little car kept her interest!

Another Trip Downtown!

We couldn't have had a more perfect September day to spend in the city visiting my longest friend, Tricia. We took Ashley to the Lincoln Park Zoo and then to North Avenue Beach.

Playing outside

Fall Weather is starting to set in, which is a perfect time to play outside!

Look Who's Mastered Standing Alone!

But I'm not encouraging walking! Unfortunately, she's becoming more and more interest in walking when holding on to someone's hands.
