Ashlin is the funniest little girl in the world. She has a
mix of her Dad’s sense of humor and mine. It makes for some pretty fun times in
our household. Her favorite person in the entire world is her Brother whom she
has nicknamed, “Booman.” This is also the same word she uses the majority of
time to say balloon. She doesn’t say very many words by themselves, but has
mastered the following sentences:
·
You get it.
·
Here/There You go.
·
I’m not tired.
·
I want bottle and nigh night.
·
Eat, please
Her favorite activities include anything outdoors, playing
ball, playing with her dolls, destroying the Tupperware drawer, ransacking her
Brother’s room, playing hide n’ seek, and pretending to do laundry. She has hit
the jackpot when it comes to her weekly care. She spends two days a week with
her Grammy Tracey and two other days with her Grandpa George. Tuesdays we have
a rotating schedule of close friends that come over to play and spoil her. Anyone that takes care of her will spend the day sniffing her blankets, toys, and anything else she deems appropriate. She "sniffs" EVERYTHING. She
has such an independent personality that she adapts well to change and loves
having new people to play with. Our goal has been to get her to 2 years old
before we put her into formal daycare. We might have to do this a bit earlier
than anticipated, but our recent tour calmed my fears as she LOVED seeing and
interacting with other kiddos.
Ashlin is extremely tiny. Her brother was super small, but
she is about 2-3 pounds less than he was at this age. She loves her bottles and
isn’t the most ferocious eater, but has recently learned that saying, “Eat,
please” will get her just about anything. Last night was her first try of
blueberries and she refused to eat them because she thought that they were
balls. (Yes, I know that this sounds so wrong…get your mind out of the gutter.)
She is very determined and unless it is her idea she doesn’t often conform to
what others think or say. This comes full force when I try to get her to keep anything
in her hair. I try as hard as I can to keep her hair fixed nice, but she
refuses anything. It might just be a Mommy thing. She recently had her babysitter fix her hair and kept it in
the whole day. We are over the moon with our
baby girl and watching her grow.
