Time just flew by and passed the top of our heads like “woosh!!”.
In four months, Ashley will reach her 1st birthday. I wonder if she knows the kind of achievements she has accomplished in all of the 8 months. Silly me. She probably doesn’t but I sure do.
Today, she tried to feed herself. Made a mess on her chair and luckily, the floor was spared as she swung her spoon left and right with a spoonful of porridge still stuck to it. I entertained her for a while but realized that she wasn’t interested in the eating part of it, I forced the spoon from her grasp. She cried and cried and then forgot all about it when she started to lean downwards to play with the straps on her chair.
Before acquiring this new ‘skill’, she has been crawling on all fours. Sometimes on her knees looking at us like someone looking out of a prison cell from her cot as if to say “Get up you sleepy heads. I want to eat my breakfast”.
She doesn’t like watching tv, not even advertisements. Either that she really IS NOT interested or there isn’t enough advertisements to keep her occupied. The only cartoon that will get her to turn her neck upside down inside out is none other than Thomas and Friends. She loves the introduction and ending song. It’s quite catchy and even now, as I am typing this, I am humming it. So, that will take her attention away oh for about 10 seconds at the beginning and the end of the show. That is the only ME time I get.
She loves it when we read to her and show her stuff from the books. We are getting more. I am not sure if its universal with children but Ashley loves it when we sing to her or when we play her the children CD. If this is her passion, I wish that she would be the next Madonna.
Her favourite pillow is called Meow Meow. Maybe later I will snap a picture of her with her Meow Meow. Now cannot cos she is sleeping and I don’t really fancy the idea of taking her Meow Meow away from her lest I don’t want to sleep tonight.
I think the most significant of Ashley’s development is what sounds like her first word. She said it last night when we were at the in-laws. “Yeh” as in Yeh Yeh (Grandfather). No, not Mama, the hand that feeds her or the Papa, whose wallet clothes her but Yeh Yeh (?). Like I said, it sounded like her first word so we’ll need to hear it once more to confirm. Lets hope it is Mama this time.

Barb : Yeah, hopefully. But dunno yet. think give her another month or so then we will truly know.
as much as we want to hear them call us first, they first word is often not mama or papa. shern's first word is GO! mama comes much later.
It's surprising Ashley is not interested in TV... maybe not yet.
If she's not into TV, horrors to you. :-P Cartoon is such a life saver to many moms.. lol
Ashley looks real pretty now... like mummy I supposed.
Alycia didnt like watching TV too when she was younger. Now, she's addicted to it! There must be a pic of a cat on Meow Meow :)
U do not want Ashley to grow up to be Madonna. Or do u? :P
