Happy 2nd Birthday Ashlynn!

Sweet Ashlynn,

You aren't our baby anymore. According to an email I got yesterday, you aren't even our toddler anymore (preschooler at 2!? AHH!) Whatever your title, you are our precious, feisty, spunky, joyful firstborn. It would be impossible to put into words how your birth changed our lives, and just how much we love you (and your sister!)

Oh how much this shirt sums you up…"Thought she be but little, she is fierce."

Here is a peek back at you 2 years ago!

We went to the doctor for your 2 year checkup. You are incredibly healthy, and we are so thankful for that. Your stats are:

Height: 35.5 inches (80%)

Weight: 28.4 lbs (80%)

Head Circumfrence: 48 cm (65%)

You are wearing size 24 mo-3t clothes, depending on the brand! You are in size 6-7 shoes and size 5 diapers.

A few of your favorite things:

Nack, Nack, Nack! (Snack)

Buppies, Pah Patoh, Dohrah, and Zoomi (Bubble Guppies, Paw Patrol, Dora, and Team Umizoomi)

Your family

Zeus

Cycles (Motorcycles)

Side and Sing (Sliding and Swinging)

Animals

Songs: Happy (If you're happy and you know it) and ABCs (which you try to sign!)

Gog (Your paci)

Tents

Purses

Bubbles

You are a great eater! You LOVE food, and eat most anything! You love gulk (milk) and drink lots of water.  

You are already into sports and being outdoors. You love to throw balls (left-handed!), run and climb.

You have a huge personality on you! You make the silliest faces, and come up with things that just make us laugh! You are really good at getting into things, and coming up with little schemes.

You are the best big sister ever. You love your Bay-Bay, and do such a great job at helping her. You have started to teach her things ("Look, BayBay, cheese!") and you get so excited anytime that she wakes up.

You are becoming a much better sleeper.  You normally wake 1-2 times in the night, but then go back to sleep. You also only get your paci at bedtime now.  

You are a daddy's girl through and through. I absolutely love watching you with your dada.  You often call him "My dada" or "Daddy-o". You are your mama's girl when you are frustrated. You will cry "mommy, mommy" even if I am the one who has upset you.

Oh precious girl, we pray that the Lord consumes your little heart, that you will glorify Him with your life, and that He will guide you in the years to come. 2 years with you seems like so long, but it is just a blink in time. Always know that we love you more than you will ever know.

Love always,

Mommy and Daddy
