Future soccer player

We found a soccer ball in the garden of the Carlisle museum. Ashton had fun kicking the ball around! Maybe we have a future soccer player on our hands here!

The day after Thanksgiving

We spent the night in Alexandria and then went out to explore Old Town Alexandria. It was a very cool area. It was freezing and thankfully stores sold baby hats and mittens. Then we found a GAP outlet and purchased a fleece for both Ashton and Mom to make the rest of the day tolerable.

Ashton checked out the ducks on the Potomac river.

Dad flying Ashton. It doesn't work as well now that he's much bigger.

Freezing... but still cute!

Surroundings well established!

Ashton was still exploring his surroundings here.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Somehow I neglected to take my camera out on Thanksgiving Day! Good thing I hijacked Sohaila's (my cousin) facebook page to borrow some pictures. We spent the day up in Burke (Northern VA) to visit my Auntie Theresa and her family. It was a nice day for Ashton to explore his surroundings of a new home!

Oh my!

Ashton conquers the stairs! He loved sliding down on his stomach and then crawling up them. Unfortunately, once someone stood below him (like Matt down wind), he thought he could walk down like a big boy!

Mommy and Ashton!

Just chilling. He loved running in circles around their kitchen.

Ashton's new haircut

Ashton did well getting his haircut this morning. His cowlick makes the front look crooked but he actually sat down long enough for her to cut straight across.

Yes, he is walking around in his shoes and a diaper. He was so funny. He brought his shoes over to me after putting his diaper on. I guess he thought we should be going somewhere.

Ma... no more pictures please!

Maybe one more!

Eating some ribs

Doesn't he look like he's saying, "Ma... leave me alone! I'm eating some ribs!"

Baby loves his ribs!

Attempted picture with Santa

I attempted to get a picture with Ashton and Santa but he was resistant to sitting with Santa by himself. The best we could do was for me to join them. As you can tell, I am saying Yeah or something like that and making him clap. It's the best we can do for this year. Maybe next year.
