It is so cute watching your baby learn. At the moment I am watching Ashley explore his Eeyore blanket. One corner has a plastic textured teether, while another corner has the crinkle plastic inside. He is fascinated with chewing anything at the moment as he is teething but because he is only beginning to learn how to hold things I have been holding the teethers for him. Poor guy is really giving them a good chew and boy is his bite strong!
It still amazes me how quickly Ashley is growing up. In the last few weeks he has started to rub his hair and face a lot. This is really distracting for him, especially now that he is learning to self-sooth. He has learnt how to put his hands together to push his dummy back in but still doesn’t understand why his dummy gets pushed out when he hooks his fingers behind it or tries to suck his thumb at the same time! Just over the last few days Ashley has started to discover he can make his voice louder than just the cooing. What’s really cute is the fake sneezing noise he makes, which scares both him and me! 
When Ashley is bored he will definitely tell you about it. My Dad was talking to him when he let out one of his loud sighs. It’s so cute! Usually he does this when I’m trying to get a burp out of him. He will give me a loud sigh and then fall asleep on my hand. Another thing that Ashley loves is when I blow ‘raspberries’ on his tummy, look at him and say raspberry. It is guaranteed to get a chuckle and cheer up the grumpiest baby.
