Our Beautiful Princess...
Ashlyn is 9 months old!

22 lb

27.5 in

Still in the 90% for both height and weight...a hearty little girl!!!

She is pulling herself up and cruising around holding onto furniture. She loves to stand, let go with her hands, and see how long she can balance. So much fun!

"I'm such a big help in the kitchen. I even know how to turn the dishwasher on"
Here's Ashlyn with her first teething biscuit

(it's kind of like a cookie and as you can see, she is very interested in this little snack)

Ashlyn with her next door neighbor and friend, Napolean.

They have a scheduled playdate every Tuesday and seem to have quite a good time.

April Visit

We spent one afternoon at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills where Phil and I were married in 2002. We enjoyed seeing the improvements that have been made over the last few years. The grounds are still breathtaking and walking around brought back great memories. It was sweet showing Ashlyn where Mommy & Daddy got married:)

Here's Ashlyn playing with her new push toy. She loves to practice standing and a bit of walking with the help of her new car!

Yummy! "I love dinner time"
What a wonderful visit we had!

Our Little Helper

"Look at me helping Daddy fix the vacuum cleaner.

I'm pretty handy with the tools." "Looks like Dad needs a little asistance on this...

thank goodness I'm here to save the day!"
By the way, it may appear that Phil is loosing his hair in this above photo but he wants you to know that instead, you are looking at stitches from a car accident when he was a kid. According to my husband, this needed to be clarified:)

Job Well Done

Here is Ashlyn with the vacuum cleaner, now as good as new.

"Oh, and look at me stand. I love to pull up now and can stay standing for quite some time".

Newport Beach Weekend

Here we are on Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach.

Ashlyn is experiencing her first carousel ride. It's hard to tell in this picture but she really did enjoy herself:)

Emily's Aunt Sally & Cousin Katherine came into town to visit.

We stayed in Sally's timeshare at the Newport Coast Villas off of Crystal Cove. A beautiful resort. We had a lovely, relaxing time.
