Aydri is truly as unique as her sister and even more so they are unique from each other. Aydri is generally mild and soft spoken until she decides to get stubborn about something. Then her temper flares and she shows an angry streak that you wouldn't think a one year old was capable of. At this point in time, it is funny and entertaining, but I'm sure we'll have to come up with some coping strategies for her as she gets older. When you try to help or distract her she will swat and grunt at you and then throw herself in the opposite direction. She's had this temper from the moment she was born.
Aydri is very funny about dangerous things. She seems to have no fear. She will throw herself down stairways and laugh and want to do it again. We tried teaching her how to go up and down the way we taught Kendi, but she loses interest in doing it safely.
Aydri is also a little feisty with her sister. Kendi is good to not fight and get mad at her, but Aydri seems to think she can take her on. Lately, Aydri gets jealous if Kendi is in my lap or has a blanket that she wants. Aydri will decide that she wants that blanket and no other. Aydri will push and pull on Kendi and does not give up until Kendi gives in. I'm glad that Kendi is a great big sister, but this is another thing we're going to have work on as Aydri gets older.
Lately, Aydri likes to act like a big person. She will climb up on chairs and just sit there like big people do. She's tries to put on clothes and shoes that bigger people wear and use utensils at mealtimes.
Aydri has always been full of smiles and hugs and kisses. If you ask her for a kiss she will blow you one from her forehead. When she gives a hug she will lay her head against whatever part of you she can reach. She always, always has a smile, even when she doesn't feel good.
Her personality has been growing bigger everyday. I'm going to miss the sweet little baby that she's been, but I know we'll love getting more and more of her personality as she gets older.
