I love this age! Ashton is so adorable! The other evening after his bath, he was running back and forth naked around the house with is hooded towel on with his hands straight out in front of him, shouting, "super market"! Love it!

"Oh My Gosh and Holy Cow"
Ashton is a little parrot. Some of his new favorites are "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh" and "holy cow!" There is just something about a 2 year old saying these phrases!
In other news Ashton has begun his own terrible two's. While not as horrible as many, he still throws himself on the floor, knocks over things when he is angry, hits, and says NO. Thankfully at this point he's easily correctable and responds well to consequences. Let's hope it stays that way.

No and other favorite words!
Ashton's official favorite word is the classic "NO!" Like many children his age regardless of what you ask him the answer will be an emphatic and resounding NO!
some other of our personal favorites are:
Kitty Hat aka as the Cat in the Hat
My Fuck or Fire Fuck aka My truck or Fire Truck
Lastly, he has really gotten into the Bubble Guppies. I have never seen them, but he watches them at Ms. Helen's. He is always asking for the "Guppies".

Bossy Baby
Lately Ashton has become quite bossy. He is constantly telling everyone what to do and if they don't comply he frequently tries to pull the individual to do what he wants them to do. So now instead of Baby Bobble head, his new official title is Bossy Baby.

Travieso
Sometimes there are just words in spanish that just capture the essence of a child. The word of the last few months is TRAVIESO. Translated travieso means troublemaker, mischevious, boyish, playful, high sprited, naughty. Well that is Ashton to a tee! If
there is trouble to be made, Ashton will find it and make it. Some of my favorites lately
include:
1. Taking his sister's BLACK mascara right before we are going to leave the house to have their photos taken professionally and putting it in his HAIR, face, and hands!
2. Taking the flowers out of the vase on the kitchen table and laying them off to the side, so he could pour the large vase of water into a tiny kid sized cup that was empty on the table. Needless to say there was ALOT of water in our kitchen!
3. No standing water of any type is safe. The dog's water bowl, any cup left on a table, his sippy cups, the bathtub, the water that paint brushes are soaking in...etc...he will find it and dump it out...normally on the floor or all over himself! Thank goodness it's water! He goes through at least 2 pairs of clothes a day!
4. On a regular basis we have to patrol the bathroom because he loves to play in the toilet, with the toothpaste, and with the hand and soap lotion by the sink!
5. He took my make-upconcealer and used it to paint on our bedroom furniture.
Of course this is just a small sampling of his toddler antics!
In other news Ashton just celebrated his 2nd birthday! We had a small family party for him. In attendence were his Ms. Taylor's family, Arianna's adoptive family, and us!

Milestones
Hard to believe our lil bubba is going to be 2 years old soon.
His vocabulary is incredible! Yesterday Olav heard his first 3 word sentence. "Daddy go out"
Also earlier this week he spent his first night away from us at someone else's house. We had left him once last summer for the weekend, but the babysitter came to our home. This time he slept at Ms. Helen's house. She said he did great!
Yesterday at the mall he was intriqued by the easter bunny. He kept looking over the fence to catch a glipse of him. I couldn't believe it when he wanted to go see him closer up. Lucky for us, Bjonar, Olav's brother was video taping incognito so I have this little treasure!

These are a few of my favorite things
Daddy is Ashton's absolute favorite person in the whole wide world. The world rises and sets on daddy! When he falls down he only wants Daddy. When he wake up first thing in the morning the first words he says repeatly are daddy.... daddy.... If mommy goes to pick him up....he hides in the corner of his crib and says no....daddy...If he get's left in the church nursery with his mother...he cries for daddy!!!! Talk about a daddy's boy!
Ashton's favorite location to be is outside. Regardless of the whether he want to be outside!!!! And don't try to bring him inside....the only caveat was the snow...not sure he was a big fan of the snow this year...I think it was hard from him to move around in all those snow clothes!
Blue is Ashton's lovey....Ashton is very attached to blue! He must have blue to sleep. Sometimes before bed or nap we have the mad search though the house looking for blue. Blue is currently in the washing machine and you'd think we kidnapped blue permantly...Ashton is a bluthering mess!
At daycare Ashton's best buddie is Corrine. Corrine is about 6 months older than Ashton. She is an adorable little girl adopted from Ethiopia. If Corrine is at Ms. Helen's Ashton is a happy camper! As soon as they see each other they hug and dance. If Corrine is not a Ms. Helen's, Ashton will frequently cry and throw himself down on the floor in protest.
Ashton loves the water/bath! Anytime he can be in the water he is happy!!!! Sometimes I even find that he has found his the water in my humidifier!
In other news Ashton has used the big boy "real" potty two times this weekend! He is so proud of himself. He sits on the potty and makes sounds like he is trying to poop...and of course pee comes out! Today after he went pee pee...he said, "I BIG" and did a happy dance. Oh so cute!
