Ashlynn is 3!!

Ashlynn, 

It is hard to believe that you are THREE! Watching you grow has been one of the most incredible experiences of our lives.  To say you have changed our world is an understatement-but only for the better! You are our firstborn, and our "big girl", and we love you more each day!

Your stats:

Weight- 36 lb 4 oz

Height- 38.2 inches

Your well check went great! You are healthy and developing right on track. We are trying to eliminate food dyes from your diet, as well as cow's milk/cheese, to see if they help with a few things. I will update on that soon :)

Your vocabulary is ever growing! You use words like clever and dangerous on a daily basis, and in the correct context. You can count to 14 in English and 10 in Spanish, you know your colors/numbers/ABCs and can draw a circle, a face, a triangle and the number 1. You recognize the letters A-D.

You are wearing size 4-5t clothing, and size 9.5-10 shoes.  At nighttime you wear a size 6 diaper. You potty trained yourself last October, and except for a few recent issues, you have done great!  Right now you are in pull-ups some, but hopefully we will switch out of those soon.

You are such an independent, smart girl.  You are also such a helper! Your kind spirit and sensitivity to others melts our hearts.  You are feisty, stubborn and spunky.  You love going to church, and are currently in dance class. Your little sister follows you around and watches everything you do! Your joy is contagious. You are a hand holder, a hugger and a cuddler.  You prefer movement and action over sitting still.  

Your nicknames these days are: Ash-Bash, Ash, Ash-a-doo/Ash-a-roo, Baby A, Sissy

I could write forever about who you are, what your personality is becoming, and every tiny thing I want to remember about you. Instead-I will let you speak for your self...
