I am Ashley hear me roar

Ashley turns 2 years old in a couple of weeks and she is currently in training for her terrible two's.  While she is so adorable and cute, she can also be demanding and needy.  Some friends who see her for under 10 minutes at a time usually comment "Ashley is SO HAPPY all the time!" to which Pete and I shoot each other a weary look and say "uh, SOME of the time."  She has a strong personality and is quick to laugh or cry. When she gets in one of her "moods", my mom will say "Oh! That's the Korean temper!" (because of course, Chinese people never get moody or mad)

 

For purposes of this blog, I will focus on the good times.  Ashley is the best little sleeper.  She naps for 2-3 hours a day and sleeps for 11 hours straight at night.  There's no cuter time than when she first wakes up... she is in a great mood and has her messy morning hair and breath (which is sweet).  She is good at cleaning up her toys and is self sufficient in many ways.  This week, Pete took her out of the crib in the morning, she walked over to her dresser, pulled out a shirt, pants and a diaper for him to change her.  She'll also tell us what she wants to eat (and heaven forbid we don't understand) and she'll go get her own bowl and start climbing into her high chair.  Unlike Jimmy who still likes to use his hands to eat, Ashley will insist on using a fork or spoon and a non-sippy cup (it gets VERY MESSY).

 

Ashley LOVES music and dances along to The Fresh Beat Band or any groovin' music that's on. (and don't get me started about her love of K-Pop)  Gymboree class is her favorite time of the week - she loves all the songs and activities and of course, Gymbo the clown.   We also discovered that she loves it when Pete juggles.  She will point at the juggling balls and say "uggle!" and when Pete does it - she starts laughing and spinning around and around (and falling down). 

 

 

  

 

 

If we are out anywhere and there's a bed - she will jump on it and say night-night and lay down! Here we are at Ikea...

 

 

And here we are at Marukai...this one is not even a real bed.

And Living Spaces again

With Auntie Amy and baby Graysen

and again...

She loves to open the fridge and pick what she wants to eat, in this case, she's taking a seat to think about it.

Fun at Art Zone!  Ashley loves to paint and draw... sometimes on herself.
