About Ashely
In a family home evening when Ashley was 3 months old, we made a list of interesting things about our precious little one. We want to share with you.
1. I love seeing the peace and tranquility she transmits when she is asleep. Even if I'm tired I could spent 10 minutes just watching her to make sure she is ok.
2. We can't believe how many times a week, even each day, that she gets the hiccups. Sometimes she is crying and a hiccup will interrupt her completely and stop the crying... it usually surprises her.
3. Its fun to watch her wake up because she makes some pretty funny faces, and she holds her arms up stretches out for a surprisingly long amount of time. Even when we wake her up to put her in the carseat she can still be stretching even once we have finished buckling her up.
4. She is very beautiful, and many people wherever we go are surprised by her beauty, and tell us that she is gorgeous and perfect. They are surprised by her long brown hair, her long curly eyelashes, her big eyes, her little nose, and defined lips, they make her unique.
5. Its intersting that Ashley recognized our voices even in the first few days after she was born.When she was in the nursery in the hospital, we were always anxious to be able to go and see her.
6. She really enjoys taking baths, and like to kick her feet and move around, but she can't stand getting out of the water and feeling the cold air against her wet body. We have to dry her off quickly otherwise she screams like never before.
7. As she was about to leave the hospital they had to draw blood samples from her foot. They took many of these samples and even though she was awake she didn't make a noise. But.... when they finished that they took a cold thermometer and put it under her arm to take her temperature and she screamed more than ever.
8. Now she is beginning to smile at us all of the time. Some times if we talk to her for a while she will start to talk back with us and tell us her stories. Maybe one of these days we will understand her.
9. She can get angry fairly easy and in her first weeks she would get really frustrated if Gabby took too much time to feed her. She would stare Gabby down as she ate to let her know that she wasn't happy about it.
10. When she is angry or tired she will take her binky, but you can still hear her grunt and try to cry in the meanwhile. usually its soft enough that she keeps it in her mouth, but if she gets really angry the will burst out in loud crying and drop the binky.
