1. Ayris never stops talking....ever. She's always been advanced in the language dept...ever since she was little. The doctors even said so. She was always very articulate and you could understand her words even when she was little. She was never the kid where only her parents could get what she was saying.
2. Ayris used a nuk until her 3rd birthday...day and night.
3. Ayris is a 4th generation donut/all things sweet fanatic.
4. Ayris seems to lose an article of clothing each time she goes to the bathroom...until she's down to her underwear...which is generally what she runs around in everyday, unless we have errands to run.
5. Ayris is wildly creative at putting various outfits together and actually making them look good.
6. Ayris wants everything on the planet for her birthday...every commercial she sees...every toy we pass in the store. I've just started saying "okay." This also leads me to believe that she thinks "money grows on trees"...like I used to think when I was little.
7. Ayris used to eat pretty much anything...now she's grown picky. She's so smart, she can tell just by looking at some foods that she doesn't like them! Surprisingly, if we force her to try them once, sometimes she decides it isn't half bad.
8. Ayris was potty trained in two days with only two accidents.
9. Ayris is an entertainer...when she was at the Montessori, she was the only kid singing loud and going through the motions on stage...and now she learns the words of songs and asks to "sing them on stage" at school...lets hope she doesn't take the entertaining and combine it with #4 as a profession. =) Kidding!
10. Ayris likes to torture cats and her favorite dog is a 3 legged Yorkie named Shadow. She loves him SO much that she's professed that she'd rather live with Grandma Sooner just so she can be with him.
11. Ayris likes to take her stuffed animals and wash them in the sink with lots of soap.
12. Ayris is talented and can bite her toenails. Asher can too...so can mommy and daddy...nothing but pure talent in this family. (Coincidentally, Asher can pinch with his toes like his momma can! I forgot that while making his list)
13. Ayris doesn't like her hair washed. She'll bargain when deciding on whether or not she wants to take a bath...only if you don't wash her hair.
14. When Ayris gets really excited, she molests whoever gave her the good news (usually getting the heck out of this house to go spend the night with one of the grandparents!) with a million kisses all over their face.
15. Ayris likes to open/close the garage door and prefers to be the one to check the mail.
16. Ayris was recently scared by foxes and came into our room every single night for 5 weeks straight. LUCKILY she has now slept in her own room 3 times on her own without waking up. Go Ayris!
17. Ayris is a Capricorn and so am I...we both have a problem with authority and would prefer to make our own decisions and be in control ourselves...this makes for an unruly match sometimes. Unfortunately for her...when you're only 3, you can't make all of your own decisions and be in control of everything...so she just opts not to listen to the mommy trying to make those decisions for her.
18. In relation to #17 and Ayris making her own decisions...Ayris' original due date was January 23rd...then it was moved up to January 14th based on the ultrasound. When she didn't come on the 14th, I wanted to have an induction scheduled for January 18th and my doctor was on board...the hospital was not however and said they would not consider me until the 20th...Ayris decided to come on her own...on the 18th. Maybe that was just her trying to make me happy? That phase is LONG gone!
19. Ayris has my toes...the toe next to her big toe curves towards the big toe while the rest of her toes curve the other way. Asher has my toes too...take a look at your toes...maybe we're not special...maybe everyones toes does this?
20. I think Ayris might still be sleeping in a crib had we not switched her to a big girl bed right before she turned 3. She never seemed to have a desire to leave her crib for a bed.
21. Ayris loves tv/movies...she asks for Redbox movies by name and watches streaming netflix on the computer daily.
22. Even though Ayris fights with her brother CONSTANTLY...she misses him and gets teary eyed when he's gone.
23. Ayris is extremely smart...hopefully she stays that way...because I don't' think I'm going to be much help when it comes to homework these days.
24. Ayris has to hide every time her daddy comes home and if she can't hide in time, she freaks out and starts crying.
25. In addition to number 24, Ayris has started laughing when she's crying...she seems to be confused about which emotion she wants to express. =) It's kind of crazy...which I guess means, she's a complete girl.
In addition...this snow sucks.
And here's this weeks baby update:
How your baby's growing: Week 7:
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.
If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.
The picture pretty much looked the same so I'm not posting it this time!
