Just a few photos from the last week or so. Ashley has been enjoying playing with some new toys lately:
She's becoming more mobile every day:
And tried peas for the first time yesterday. She likes them!

Seven Months
Ashley, I know that you are just as shocked as I am that you are already seven months old.
At seven months, you are:
- 28 inches tall, and weigh about 18 pounds.
- Blowing raspberries a lot. We don't know what it means though!
- Still not quite able to crawl. You haven't quite figured out how to coordinate your arms and legs. You will typically get about one "step" forward before you fall on your tummy. Alternatively, and depending on the floor surface, your hands will get better traction than your knees, and because you don't know to move your hands forward yet, you end up pushing yourself backwards.
- Not quite bringing yourself up to a sitting position on your own, but you're close. You will push yourself up part way with one arm though, and chill like that for quite a while.
- Really enjoying your walks with your doggy. You just sit quietly in your stroller and watch the world go by.
- Eating a couple of meals of solid food a day. You really like bananas and apples these days, but are getting tired of sweet potato.
- Finally starting to get some new hair on that cute little head of yours!

Canadian Thanksgiving
My parents were down for Canadian Thanksgiving (one month ago now!). It was a nice time, and a big weekend for Ashley: her first solid food!
Ashley enjoyed showing off her UltraSaucer to Grandpa and Grandma:
She tried on her Halloween costume, which her second cousin Laird generously let her borrow:
Checking herself out in her mirror:
After trying out her costume, she got her first taste of solid food for lunch:
The weather was nice—the cat spent most of the weekend in the open windows, watching squirrels:
For Thanksgiving dinner Nancy made Alton Brown's turkey recipe and Paula Deen's "Good Old Country Stuffing". Perfect!
We went for a walk at the West Hartford Reservoir:
Grandma got plenty of time with Ashley, and read her lots of stories:
But attempts to read to Ashley often end up with an attempt to grab and bite the book:
