WHAT IS NEW WITH ASHA?

We talked to Asha this past Sunday and she is just getting sweeter and sweeter each week that passes by. Here were some things we asked:

Have you tried any new foods with Asha this week? "We mix togedda Callaloo (which is similar to spinach) and pumpkin. She loves food so much she not want her bottle no more. I may have to get her a multi-vitamin to make sure she gettin' all da nutrients she need. She is funny and cries when there be no food in her mouth."

Did she do anything new this week? "We put a bed mattress down on da floor in the livin' room and she likes being down. She is now pullin' up on stuff to stand. If we put someting on one end of da mattress, she jumps across to get it, but no crawlin' yet, just gets on hands and knees and jumps. She makes lotsa words now, she sees the goats and says "meeeey", and she make the **seepsin' sounds (like a reversed pssss, it's how they call people). When she want to go outside in the sun, she say 'go' and when we put her in da stroller, she look up the hill outside and keep saying, 'go, go'. She is very opinionated!"

Is she ticklish? "She is ticklish under the arms. When she is sleeping though she doesn't like to be hugged or touched. Maybe because she is too hot."

Thank you for the pictures. That meant a lot to get those right before her six month birthday. We noticed something though; she has dimples (so adorable)! "Yes, yes, she does have dimples. We first saw dem when she started smilin'. She does have two dimples, but one is deeper den the other."
** Speaking of seepsin', Lynda put Asha on the phone with us and Lynda said, "say hello your Dada, call your Dada, call your Dada", and then after a moment we heard, sssspssssspssssspssssp... it was so funny! We thought she was just breathing heavy into the phone, but Lynda started laughing and said Asha was seepsin' us! So cute.

Stay tuned for more updates like this one!
