30 Weeks

Today I am 30 Weeks. Crazy! Only 10 to go, give or take some. The time is just flying by. I am kind of sad knowing this is my last pregnancy (unless God has different plans), and that some days I am so busy that I don't get to "take it all in" as much as I'd like. But there are times I am still enough to enjoy the kicks and movements which I always love to feel.
Yesterday I went for my doctor appointment. Everything is right on track and baby is doing great. 
Below are pics of me today at 30 weeks.

As for an Ashley update, Ashley is continuing to grow and learn. She suddenly looks taller to me, and is thinning out into more of a "kids body" rather than baby's. 
One new thing Ashley recently did was walk around the lake. She walked from our house, down to our lake, all the way around and back to the house with minimal carrying. It's about a mile total. We were amazed. She loves to walk and explore. In fact, when we'd try to pick her up to give her legs a break, she'd cry and say "down, down" because she wanted to walk. 
She has also started to really like the show Barney. The show is kind of annoying for adults, but I have to say that it's a really great show--it's educational and also teaches very good messages. She will ask for me to put it on, and sings and dances to it.
Ashley has been having fun doing creative activities. She loves to color and play with stickers. Yesterday we did a sensory project where we played with dry rice and pasta. It was messy, but we had lots of fun. She also has fun cleaning. She will pull out one of her wipes and wipe down the table, floor, etc. It's cute.
Ashley has also been climbing more. She pulls herself up on the couches, the chairs at the dinner table, coffee table (even though I discourage her to climb/sit on that one).
Now that the weather is getting cooler (comfortable), we have had lots of outdoor fun at parks, outside in the backyard, walks, etc. She seems to really love playing outdoors.

She also started doing this cute thing where you'll ask her a question and she'll say "noo" in this cute tone.

Ashley has also been going through a picky phase with food recently. We have always exposed her to a variety of foods, and she'd basically eat whatever we ate from the age that it was safe. She used to eat lots of things, but these days there are quite a few things she refuses to eat. It seems to be getting better though.

Well that's all for now, enjoy the new pics.
