I got a call from school yesterday, that you woke up from your nap crying and wouldn't stop. I felt so bad! Grandma was already there picking you up, so I met you at home and by then you were fine. But it was your 2-year molars coming in. Last night you woke up in pain, so we gave you some ibuprofen and then you felt better.
And now I just got a call from school again - I was afraid it was your teeth, but apparently you tripped and bumped your head on the bookshelf. They said you didn't cry for long, no bruising or anything. My poor little girl... Let's hope this weekend is gentler on you!

Aysia and Christmas
Well, my little Aysia - what a Christmas it's been for you! With your birthday so close, it's really like a week of festivities, presents, and excitement!
I think what you enjoyed the most was hearing about Santa Claus coming down the chimney, through the fireplace, and his pants getting stuck as he left. We put some red and white material in the fireplace doors and on the floor. You repeated this story so many times, and seemed to really think about it a lot. The magic of Christmas.
You also enjoyed presents, but I think we overdid it and there were just too many. Some we even opened for you! I really need to calm down with the gifts! But you certainly are having fun with all your new stuff and that's great to see.
We also got to see a lot of other children, between playdates and family, and you really enjoy that, too. You're always a bit shy when going somewhere new, but you warm up quickly, and really have fun. You've also been doing a lot of peeing on the potty, no matter where we are, and that's great. You're growing up!
Oh, and you were in your toddler bed for the first time last night. Didn't wake up and slept til 6:30. I wonder if that will continue? But I'm so glad you liked it.
So, a lot of big things for you this past week!

Tyler's 33 week appointment
So, you'll notice I'm using your name now! We decided to make it official. Your name will be Tyler. We still need to figure out the middle name, but I'm glad we feel so good about your first name!
We had your 33 week OB appointment yesterday, and as usual, all is good. Mom is healthy, and you are measuring perfect. Heartbeat is good. It's so nice that there are no complications with you! The only problem is that my hops are killing me, makig it hard to walk and move around. I didn't have this with Aysia's pregnancy, but they say that the second is worse. I hope it lets up soon, as it really does hurt a lot!
We are making progress on reorganizing the house so we can clear out and decorate your room. I can't wait to have that settled and start putting away your clothes, toys, etc. The holidays have distracted us a bit, but soon we will be back in gear getting ready for your arrival!

Aysia turns two!
Yesterday was your birthday! It was a pretty good day, I think!
First, we surprised you in the morning with your new walk-in kitchen. You love it! You always want to cook now! I'm so glad you like it so much.
Then, at school, I dropped off fruit salad for the school party during nap time, and sure enough, you were awake and saw me right away! And it was only halfway through nap time. If I tried to leave, you would definitely have a fit, so I brought you to the mall with me. You weren't very patient while I bought my maternity belt (my hips are in so much pain these days!), but then you were happy to ride the escalator and see Santa. And you were so good - we rode down and up, then you were fine to get back in the stroller and go home. Very mature of you! :)
Next, it was back to school for the holiday party. But I brought in noisemakers and hats, and everyone sang happy birthday to you. You loved it! You had a bunch of food (even some healthy stuff) and were just very cute in general. You are certainly very talkative and helpful, and in my opinion, the best one in the class! :)
And then finally we went home for a small family birthday party with Grandma Susan, Bob-bob-bob, Grandma Rosa, Pop-pop and Aunt Lisa. We ate, we played, and we had more cake! I even cooked the dinner and baked / decorated the cake myself. A big deal for your mommy! You got some very nice gifts, and then we watched the DVD of your Uptown Playaround party and you had fun watching yourself.
All in all, a real good birthday for Aysia!

Aysia, busy week!
So, tomorrow is your birthday. Then 3 days later is Christmas. We have so many toys for you, and even a whole new playroom in the basement for a trampoline and other big toys. You are going to be so overwhelmed! We're going to try to spread out the presents a little, but it will still be ridiculous! You still haven't gotten to use all your toys from your birthday party which was back on Dec 4th...
Well, we weren't able to actually go to the toddler bed last night as some of the hardware was missing. Daddy went out to get it, but we're going to wait a few days to do it. Surprisingly, even though you helped Daddy to put it together and we talked it up all night, you didn't have a meltdown when we went back to the crib. You seemed so excited about the toddler bed that I was expecting one. Thanks for surprising me!

Aysia climbs out!
So, yesterday, Grandma Susan said you climbed up on the railing of the crib, and could have easily climbed out if she didn't stop you. I guess it's time to move to the toddler bed. I am not looking forward to that - you having free reign to get up whenever you want! I need to get some toys in your room and get the gate up so we don't have to worry about you roaming around while we sleep. Big changes, little girl, you're growing up!
Meanwhile, you've been talking about Santa Claus a lot, and getting excited about Christmas. We decorated last night and you liked all the new stuff. It definitely makes me more excited about the holidays, seeing them through your eyes!

Aysia and playing
You were very cute this weekend. First, we went to Sophia's birthday party, and you got comfortable pretty quickly and played with all her toys. People commented how great your vocabulary was and how smart you are! Mommy was proud! But more importantly, you had a really good time, and only had a mini-meltdown when Sophia was opening presents and you couldn't do it.
Then on Sunday, we visited friends with a 5 year old and a 3 year old. You and Jolie (3 yo) really played together. jumping on her bed, pushing a stroller - the first time i saw you really interacting with someone else, vs playing side by side. It was great to see. And I felt I could let you roam a bit without sticking right by you. You're starting to gain some independence, little girl!
