Catching up...

...with the Acres. Well, it's been quite some time since my last post. We just returned from the Bahamas and have some great pictures to share. Ashton has really grown in the past couple of months. Let's see...he has 6 teeth now (4 of which came in while we were away...fun, fun), he hasn't crawled yet, but has certainly mastered the Army crawl and moves quite fast, he says "Da Da" (I won't hold it against him even though it makes me sad that he hasn't said "Ma Ma" yet), and he's just continuing to develop his sweet little personality.

This is Ashton's new signature scrunchie face. He does this on a frequent basis and shows off his new pearly whites. What a ham he has become!

Again, Ashton hamming it up for the camera. We were waiting out the rain at the Tipsy Seagull before getting on the boat. The bean bag chair was a new experience for him. Look at that goofy little grin. Just want to eat him up!

Here is a blue marlin we were lucky enough to catch while there. Not much fishing action goin' on, but it was a beautiful day to be on the boat.

Here behind us was the only blue marlin boated in the two tournaments out of Treasure Cay. "Real McCoy" weighed her in at 563 lbs. Not too shabby!

Ryan and Ashton taking refuge in the shade. It was very hot! Aren't they just too cute!

It's the crab man! He just thought it was so funny when his towel came down over his eyes. He is so goofy sometimes. What a little cutie! Just love him!

Grandpa and Ashton hangin' out while we were fishing. Ashton loves the boat!

Ashton's 8 mos. birthday! All dressed up in his seersucker overalls sitting with his Daddy! Isn't that just the sweetest picture. He loves his Dad!

Got my party hat on for my birthday!

Do I look like my Daddy!? Already getting into Dad's clothes.

Check me out! Am I cool or what!? He is so good about keeping his glasses on. It was actually pretty amazing. Now, it's a different story. He rips them off and they go right in his mouth.

Mommy and Ashton arriving in the Bahamas! He's a good little flyer. Doesn't make a peep. He just got his passport stamped for his second trip to the Bahamas. He's a travelin' man!

Watch out Kenny! Here comes the new island boy!

I'm 7 mos. old!

Here's our sweet little boy! Look at those chompers! Ashton has two teeth now and he's not afraid to use them. He loves to bite on mommy's chin or anything else he can get them on. Not so much the funny little nibbles anymore. He's really gives a good bite.

Look at that cute little outfit. The blurs...his hands. They were going a mile-a-minute. I couldn't get him to stay still for anything. He's so full of energy and he's such a fun baby to play with.

Ashton is becoming more interested and curious about the dogs. Here he is with Oscar. Right before I took this picture, Ashton had both hands on Oscar patting him and petting him. It was so cute. He just get so tickled when the dogs play and he just laughs. It's so funny.

Hippity-Hoppity...

...Easter's on it way! Here's my little Easter bundle as cute as can be! I just can't get enough of these pictures. He's just a cutie patootie! Happy Easter!

Happy Half Birthday Little Man!

Our little boy turned 6 mos. on April 3rd. Boy, how the time flies. It seems like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. Our little baby is turning into a little boy. :( Although, it saddens me that he's growing up, it is so much fun to watch him grow, change and show his little personality. He has been doing so much lately that it's difficult to keep up. Ashton is now rolling over, starting to sit-up (mostly with our assistance), and he has 2 teeth! He has been trying so hard to crawl and talk. It probably won't be long before he's saying "Ma Ma" or "Da Da". I have a feeling that it's going to be Da Da first because he's already making sounds that resemble it. Whatever he decides to say first will be exciting and fun to hear. Happy Half Birthday Ashton! We love you!

California Baby

Well, we just got back from California. It was a nice trip to take Ashton to see his great Gammy and Gampy and everyone who has not gotten the chance to meet him. I think I held him a total of 10 hours the whole trip. He was not lacking attention! :) However, I am lacking pictures of our trip. My camera battery died and what did I forget among the many other things I toted cross-country...the charger! Duh!! We'll be back in July, and I plan on having the camera out the whole time. Here's the little man and his California family and friends!

Gammy and Ashton

Bree, Jack and Ashton getting cozy!

So cute! Jack is helping Ashton play with his frog.

Ashton Is 5 mos.

Here's our big boy! 5 mos. old! We had a fun day. It started with Mother Goose storytime at the library with Danielle and Cameron. We sang songs and heard a story and met lots of other babies. Ashton seemed to enjoy it. He watched intently and didn't make a peep.

Somebody didn't want to sit nice and take a picture. This was as good as it got. A frumpy, frowny face, but look at those cute shoes! He's got style!

After storytime, we stopped by to see Daddy and his aunties.

Beach Babies

Saturday was beautiful and sunny, so we set out for Keewaydin to enjoy the beach, sun and friends. We just bought a large tent for Ashton and we were anxious to try it out. Pre-tent times kept Ashton and I captive on the boat in the shade. We were so excited! It was all that we hoped for and it was a big hit for all the other parents and kids.

Here is Ashton and Danielle. He was just so tired from all the excitement and just fell right to sleep.

Here's our sweet girl, Cameron.

Ashton is sharing his crib with Nayah. This was too sweet not to get a picture.

Our little boy had a long day on the beach
