Ashley is officially 4 months old and rolling over off her back. The last couple days she's been getting close and yesterday I was in the other room while Ben and Ash were laying on their backs and when I came back she was on her tummy. I asked Ben if he rolled her over and he proceeded to try and roll her over and it was very clear that that had not been the case. So we tested her later on and she was able to do it several times in a row. Now that she can roll over both ways I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she starts crawling. When she's on her tummy she kicks like crazy, but I hope she takes her time getting mobile as chasing two kids around instead of just one will make life a little more challenging. And right now, Ben is enough to keep up with.
We got new patio furniture for our deck and our neighbor used the chair boxes as a fort. She even made a fort especially for Ben complete with a skylight, window, doors (with handle cutouts), a welcome mat and a frog hanging from the ceiling for decoration. It's too cute and he is the perfect height for it.
And since it's been so hot we decided to take Ben (and Ash for that matter) to the city pool and it turns out it's great for kids. They actually have a large kids pool with walk in entry and a large baby pool also, short water slides and floating animals you can climb on, and a water spray area. He had a blast and was so worn out that he took over a 2 hour nap which he hasn't done in forever. Ashley slept through most of it, but enjoyed the nice breeze and sounds of water while she took her catnap in her swimsuit.
