Ugh, time has gotten away from me again. I don’t remember when I last properly wrote, or what has happened since.

Today, Ash has been ridiculously clingy, and whingy/teary too. I’m not sure if she is teething or what. She has eaten A LOT today, so maybe a growth spurt. I’m very lucky right now because she is having out with Jake and actually giving me a little bit of a break. She keeps demanding me instead of him which can get tiring after a while.

Oh, the other night, we slept from 11:30pm until 7am! I’m sure Ash stirred in that time, but I don’t remember waking up for it (she sleeps next to me in bed) so it doesn’t count. We slept through the night!! So amazing. I felt like I could take on the world. Instead we cleaned and played and exercised. Getting all that done in one day is kind of taking over the world…

Ash has gotten good at helping me put her on my back in the baby carrier. We do it up on the bed, so I tie the waist straps and she sits on the bed, then she comes over to me and climbs onto my back and I do the top straps up. Bam! So cute. It is also adorably easy when we stop using it, again on the bed, we lower the top straps and she stands so she doesn’t fall, and she sneaks around my side so she can sit on my lap and continue the hugs. She never gets free and runs off, always wants more mum time. It is adorable. Today we used the carrier for dishes and for chopping veggies, although she looked bored by the end of the beg so I stopped early.

We had black bean burgers for dinner, and thanks to Lisa’s recommendation, we put hummus on the tortilla before we put the ‘patty’ on. It was so good! I’m not super fond of hummus but that really worked.

Ash makes new noises, more gurgly and gutteral than her previous ‘words’ and noises. It’s pretty cute. She has also been working on new dances but she just won’t do them when I get the camera out!

We got a router on the weekend, so now we have wireless internet. That’s pretty fun, it’s nice not to have to worry about reaching my data limit on my phone. I took advantage of the new unlimited data and started using one of the e-reader apps on my phone. I’m cheap, so I looked through the free books. I read "The Invisible Man" which I was surprised that I hadn’t read before. Not much else on the free list that really appealed to me, but one of my 101/1001 goals is to read books so that’s what I’m doing! (if I counted kids books I would be SO done with that already)

I think Ashley had her first tantrum this evening. She madly loves the nail buffer we have, but she eats it so I don’t let her play with it. Today I gave it to her, but told her if she put it in her mouth it would be taken away. So of course, when that happened, oh man. Thankfully it was relatively short.

And… Ash knows how to rotate the computer chair so I am facing her instead of the computer. She comes over and pulls on the chair so it turns and then reaches up for hugs. So cute, but kinda annoying when I’m typing! heh.

Hope you are all doing well. I’m trying to note more. Another of my goals is to note every entry I read for a week, so I’m working up to that. If I dove right in, I’d forget quickly and then fail repeatedly.

Bed time!
