Ashlyn knows so many words, it constantly amazes me. She knows the correct verb tense, too. Verbal skills are definitely a sign of advanced intelligence!!!! She continues to love books and her favorite thing is to go to the library.

February Update

Ashlyn has recently gotten over her first real illness. She had an ear infection and was not the same little girl. She slept most of the day and cuddled the rest. But she is back on her feet and lively as ever. Praise God!!

Her parents are trying to wean her off of her Nuk. Looks like it will be a long process--but you never know!!

She continues to make strides in potty training and is very proud when she accomplishes the task!!

I will see her this weekend to give her parents some alone time for Valentine's Day. I can't wait!!

2nd Birthday--December 31, 2008

Happy Birthday, Ashlyn!! She was 34" tall, so if you believe the experts, she will be about 5'8". Sorry, Erika!!

Christmas 08

Christmas was so much fun this year. Ashlyn understood about Santa and presents. She liked to see Santa, but screamed when placed on his lap!! With so many family in town, she received so many gifts, they all seemed to run together. But Shyam and Erika are doing a good job of blending them in with her former toys and books. She continues to love books. She threw down gifts of clothes like they had the plague and asked where the next gift was!! (Just like her father!) She recieved a big wheel, blocks, clothes, more things for her kitchen, books, Dora the Explorer dominos, and a mini basketball. She is definitely one blessed little girl!! We love her beyond measure.
