Ashlynn is now 2 months old! She is getting to be so big! She loves to go for walks and absolutely loves music. She is seriously the easiest baby we’ve had. She has put herself on a schedule and is starting to sleep longer in the night. She always wants her last bottle about 6:30 or 7 and last night she slept until 4:30! It was amazing, but not normal. Normally she wakes up about 2. The nice thing is she wants to go to bed about 7:30 or 8, which is when Brittany and Logan go to bed, but the downside is that she needs to wake up during the night. I guess it’s a nice trade off, so Brett and I can have time together like we’ve had for the past several years. Ashlynn is getting better at holding her head up, but still has the baby wobbly head. She now weighs 10lbs 9oz.
Most of you all know that Ashlynn had RSV and ended up spending four days in the hospital. We were so blessed to have my grandmother come down and help out with Brittany and Logan. It was nice to have the extra help!
Brittany and Logan are such a crack up! Their new favorite game to play is “Kitty.” Logan pretends to be a kitty and Brittany is apparently the human. Brittany will ask Logan a question and Logan answers with, “Meow.” Somehow they manage to communicate with each other this way. I have no idea how she knows what Logan is saying, but she does. It reminds me of when my cousins from Missouri came down, they always liked to play “Cougar.” Those were great times!
Since the weather is so great this time of year, we’ve been going on walks in the evening. Brittany and Logan ride their tricycles while Brett and I push the stroller. Brittany and Logan don’t use the pedals on their bikes. Brittany uses her feet like a “normal” kid does with both feet pushing the ground at the same time. Logan rides his bike like he’s walking. Brett says that he does it Flintstone style.
Brett has started a new schedule at work. He was working 7-4, but now he’s working 8-5. When he first told me this, I thought I would hate it. I didn’t like the idea that he wouldn’t get home until almost 6, but I’ve discovered that I love this new schedule. I’ve been getting up with Brett in the mornings and we both do our Bible studies, then we pray a little together, and by then the kids are up. They love seeing their daddy before he leaves. We’ve even taken him to work a few times. Last Friday we took him to work and then ate out after work. It was great!
All in all things are great here in the Best house! I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful spring weather!
Love,
Brett, Cherise, Brittany, Logan, and Ashlynn
