Our 15-month old

Ashelyn Rose is 15 months so I thought I should update my sweethearts progress. I recently took her to the doctor for a well check and was surprised to find that shes 32 inches tall! Shes in the 95% for her height! I definitely had noticed her big feet, but had no idea she was so tall. She already wears a size 5 in shoes. Maddie and Brookee didnt wear a 5 until 21/2yrs old. Because shes so tall she looks pretty skinny weighing in at 24 pounds. Everyday shes blossoming into a smart little toddler. She repeats everything we say. Her favorites are: Thankyou, trash, moma, dad, mad, brok, dog, ball, eat, cookie,bink,silk (for her binkie and silkie) hi, bye bye, eye, nose, park, teeth, and of course MINE!

Some of her favorite activites are throwing away things in the trash, going to the park and running up the stairs and throwing herself down slides before we get to her, swimming-jumping in the pool to mom and dad, riding in her push car, jumping on the couch, dancing, snuggling with us, playing with her sisters, taking baths, eating, and having her binkie and silkie nearby, playing in the toilet, shaking lamps and playing with my pots and pans. She also kisses my tummy and says, "hi Ire". I really do believe she already knows her baby sister.

I am pleased to announce that Ashelyn has been allowed into Maddie and Brookelyns secret alliance. They have allowed her to join in the sister fun. I didnt think it was ever going to happen, but they have finally have begun to play with her. They really love her and Ashelyn has taken on the comedian role. She finds ways to make them laugh. I think thats how she has been accepted. Whatever it was that brought this to pass....I am so happy to see them playing so well with her.

Maddie and Brookee still like to tell her, "dont worry Roser Irelyn is coming and she will be your friend".

I cant believe our Rose bomb is 15 months! We love her so much!!!
