A Sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's!

Our Memorial weekend was not too exciting. Everyone worked except Ty and he spent the day vegging after his hectic last week. We did have fun when Eric and Brittney called and asked us to babysit Ashtyn overnight Sunday. WE love having our girls stay over. Ashtyn is growing like a weed. She is now about 7 and a half months old and 16 lbs. She is sporting a new bottom tooth...her first. She also has learned to pull herself up into a standing position. Grandma's Germany houses which sit on the table in the living room will probably not be there much longer as they will need to be moved. Anyway, Ashtyn came over about 8:18 Sunday night. She had a yummy dinner of baby food squash and applesauce. Then Grandma put her in her carebear pj's. Ashtyn loves playing with her grandpa just like Emma. Ashtyn reminds us of a little teapot. She just gets so filled with excitement she just shakes with it then when the excitment gets to be too much she squeals. Grandpa has nicknamed her "Bell" short for decibelle. Ashtyn loves to yell and she does it very well. If she wasn't so cute doing it we might not appreciate it so much but she is absolutely adorable. She finally went down at 10:45pm. Grandma thought she was down for the night. No such luck. She was up at 3am for a bottle and then at 6:30am for good. Grandma had forgotten how tiring getting up in the night with little ones was. Still we wouldn't change having Ashtyn stay over for anything. Monday morning Ashtyn helped Grandma make sure all of the tiny bunnies were still in their house. The new batches are about two weeks old, they have their eyes open and they like to wander out the door of their houses. Ashtyn had a great time playing with the fuzzy balls of fur before putting them back to bed. (on a side note we sold our first bath of seven bunnies so we are now down to only 16 rabbits). Eric and Brittney came to pick her up at about 9:15 after which grandma took a nap. I sure love my grandbabies and can hardly wait for our new one due in Sept. Dave and Brit have decided on Alli for our new granddaughter's name. Being a grandma is the best thing ever.
