TGIF


Ashley is just happy it is Friday, like me! Here she is giving it a thumbs up! The weekends just could not get her any quicker or go by any faster. But, I love getting to spend the entire 2 days with Ashley.

Little Plumber In Training

No, no, Ashley hasn't been trying to fix the toilet or snake the drains, but last night she was sporting a plumbers crack that would make any seasoned plumber cringe with resentment!
I guess this is what happens when you are a skinny mini, it is hard to keep your pants up!



And this is the new thing, instead of sitting in the bumbo, you use it as leverage to try to dive head first into the exersaucer.

Look At That Face


I have no idea why she was so upset when this picture was taken, but that little face just looks like "please don't take my picture". I think this was right before bed time and she didn't want to get her pajamas on. She generally likes to remain in the buff (and a diaper of course) after her bath for a little while.

Mmmmmm... Chicken

Ashley is now eating meats and proteins and I have to say she really likes chicken. Of course you have to slow her down or she would just cram it all in her mouth at once. She also seems to like yogurt alot to, thank goodness she seems to like whatever we give her and she isn't a picky eater like her daddy!

Now, this she comes by naturally, anyone who knows Shawn knows this is how he drinks too!!

The Big Girl Checkup


Yesterday was Ashley's 9 month well visit and it is official.... she is a squirt! She is 16 1/5 lbs and 26 inches long. (Maybe a little longer she wouldn't hold still very well for the nurse!) The doctor is very happy with her size and development. No childhood obesity here, and her other development is right on track or a little ahead. She already has 6 teeth and can walk holding onto the furniture with 1 hand. I think she will be walking on her own any time now, she just has to work on her balance.

I did feel a little bad b/c the entire time in the car I told her no shots at this checkup but when we got there it is flu shot time, so she got her flu shot and her blood taken. She wasn't a happy camper about that.
Oh, and that paper on the table sure does seem interesting to a 9 month old, esp when you are trying to rip it off!

The Look



Now I have to say when this girl eats, it is serious! You wouldn't know by looking at her b/c she is a tiny tiny little thing, who, at 9 1/2 months still wears her 6 - 9 month clothes comfortably, but she can eat with the best of them. And let me tell you what, don't bother her b/c this is the look you will get!

Football Mania



Ok, seriously I need to stop leaving the house! Yesterday I had a nice relaxing day in Georgetown for brunch & shopping with my sorority sisters Erin, Char & Spongie. It was so nice, the weather was great for outdoor shopping and it was nice to get to catch up with everyone.


Well, I leave the house and this is how my precious baby girl is dressed... to match her dad! For the record can I just say that if I ever put Ashley and I in matching outfits Shawn would never, ever, quit making fun of me!! I guess if it is football apparel it is ok :)

Look What Happens.....

when Daddy dresses Ashley for daycare. Yesterday Shawn thought that it was important for Ashley to show her support for the team. But she does look cute in her little shirt. The problem is, when your bed time is at kick off it makes it hard to stay up and cheer for your team!

Up Close


Last weekend I was trying to take a picture of Ashley and she just kept crawling up to the camera. I don't know why I think this picture is so cute, but I do!


It kinda reminds me of those posters and stuff with just that big dog head on it, I think they are called big dog or something.

Janovich Salon & Spa

Last night after Ashley's bath it was time to trim up those little nails of hers. I am amazed at how fast they grow and how sharp they are. Now, this is not one of my favorite motherly duties, so after her bath I pulled out the nail clippers and file. Well, of course Ashley had to help out, so she grabbed the file and nails clippers and began the examination.


Hmm... I wonder what these are for?


Mommy, look what I have!


This doesn't taste all that good.


And that is why it takes me probably 3 times longer then it should to do just about everything these days!

Chillin


Ashley and I were both very tired the other day, so we thought that instead of her crawling all over the house and me chasing after her, like we usually do, that we would just sit down and relax a little bit. I love when she is in her snuggly mood!

Awfully Soft

Izzy got a bath on Monday and she is very soft when she is clean. Ashley just loves the feeling of her fur. But poor Izzy, I have to say that I don't know that Ashley petting her is really that much of a treat, it involves a lot of pulling and smacking. But, Izzy just sits there and appreciated the attention.

The Ladies Of The Janovich House


So, here is a picture of all of the females in the Janovich household. Poor Shawn is very out numbered around here. Good thing for him that the dogs are spayed and Ashley is young or it would be PMS central all month long!


The truly funny thing about this picture is that Ashley and I were sitting on the steps waiting for Shawn to do something so we could leave and both of the dogs just came over and sat beside us perfectly still. So Shawn grabbed the camera and got a picture before one of them ran off!

Happy Birthday



Grandpa Al! Ashley thought this would be a better way to wish Grandpa a Happy Birthday since she likes to eat the phone, so phone calls are out! Last year Ashley went to Grandpa's birthday party, she was just traveling in my belly at that point. (I have to say she is much more fun out here!)




So happy birthday Grandpa! What birthday is this?? 25???
