Just Playing

Yesterday I blogged about not taking pictures so far in January, so that motivated me to take some pictures! They are pictures of what we've been doing lately- just playing. They are mostly of Ashlyn. I am trying to make it up to her for not taking a video on her birthday. The girls and I watched some videos of when Rylee was a baby and Matt and I (mostly Matt) took lots of videos of her doing absolutely nothing. And I don't think we've taken nearly as much of Ashlyn. I think I'm pretty even as the pictures go, but I think that's why I was taking so many of her- I feel guilty!!

Ashlyn loves to do puzzles and she's pretty good at them. She especially loves the Dora ones we have. After she finishes one, she puts up her arms and says, "Hooray! We did it!" (Not just the Dora ones!) But I think her favorite part is breaking it- you can see the big smile on her face as she starts to break it!

This is Baby Sally. Grandma gave Ashlyn this doll for Christmas and it's pretty much all she's played with since. She takes it everywhere. I asked her what her name was on Christmas and she told me Sally. I don't know where she got the name- I have a friend Sally who we see when we go to dance, but I don't really say her name a lot. So I don't know, but that's been her name since. Rylee comes up with names for her dolls, but they change every day. Ashlyn's has always been Sally. She's now become Baby Sally though. She is so sweet with her- she talks baby talk to her and tells me when she's sleeping or poopy and she even sits her on the potty. She feeds her and plays with her and puts her on her shoulders- Rylee hasn't been this into dolls yet- I guess Ashlyn takes after me. I always loved my dolls.

This is Ashlyn playing in the Cinderella tent.
Rylee was in there too, but she's too fast for the camera.

They found my old Chevy's hat- Ashlyn thought she had to have boots on when she wore the hat! The doll binky completes the look!

And here's Rylee- posing for the camera! She was dancing and showing off her Rapunzel doll and shirt. I can't wait until that comes out on DVD- I loved that movie!

So you can see that we haven't been doing anything too exciting.

(Rylee just came into the room with a diaper and wipes. Ashlyn followed her in and laid down on the floor. Rylee changed Ashlyn's diaper all by herself! What a good helper. And she did a pretty good job too!)
