(Note: Since Ami doesn't quite talk or type, just yet, it was done through A.J. and I, from her point-of-view.)
1. What are the three most important forces/things in your life? (e.g. family, security, money, car, job/career, religion/God, children, significant other, lover and/or spouse, and/or surival.)
Family, food, and gravity! Just kidding. From the list it would be: Family (Momma & Daddy), Survival, & Security. My Momma and Daddy help me to survive, and in doing so, I am secure.
2. What are your greatest needs at this point in your life? (e.g. be respected, listened to, carry out goals, finish school, have food on the table, be able to pay bills, live one more day, to be loved/cherished.)
Obviously, I need to be loved. Having someone to love me, means they want to provide everything they can, which includes food and a place to live. After that, someone to listen to me talk and sing is nice, too. I love to sing and to sing-along.
3. Name some of the more important goals/tasks you hope to achieve at this time in your life. (e.g. learn to walk, ride a bike, graduate, get a job, retire)
Right now, I'm just focusing on honing in on my crawling skills. I've started pulling up on things and that's fun, too, but crawling is my main objective. I also like seeing the world. I love to people-watch, and so traveling is one of my greatest endeavors, whether it's near or far.
4. Name and desribe three of the most frequent emotions you experience. (e.g. fear, love, anger, loneliness, satisfaction.)
Love, happiness, and satisfaction. I experience love and receive it from those around me; sometimes from complete strangers! Happiness is from when I see the two reoccurring giants in my life (Momma and Daddy). They are my life and I am their's. And satisfaction from having all of my needs met such as food. It's a pretty practical life I lead.
5. Describe some of your favorite activities. If exercise is not one of them, what type of physical exercise do you take part in? (e.g. reading, running, working, playing, making love.)
I love to crawl, jump, and sing. Mostly, just anything musical. We sing in rounds, or solos, a lot of the time we all sing together. I also love to watch my Daddy play his guitar. Momma puts on all kinds of music, and we sing along to it as well.
6. Describe some of the crises, problems, issues, things, persons and/or beliefs that you are struggling with at this point in your life. (e.g. feeding myself, getting along with parents/siblings, doing well in school, being responsible.)
I find that I don't really like being around peers. I'm kind of an old soul and prefer the maturity of those my parents age or older. I am very independent and can do a lot of things by myself, at times preferring to play by myself, however I understand that it limits me from meeting others who I may end up liking. I'm sure it's just because I'm a little shy and am not sure of how to act when I'm around them. But, they do look really neat.
7. List the 2-3 most important persons in your life, and explain why they are important to you. (e.g. my mom because she always loved and supported me.)
My Momma because she is always there for me, even when I may not need her to be. She provides all of the physical needs (food, clothing, cleaning), emotional needs (kisses, hugs, especially if I fall or bump and hurt myself), and is always patient with me if I'm going through a rough time and even when I don't want anyone around.
My Daddy is also one of my favorite persons because even though he can't feed me, he does everything else he can to make me happy and content. We sing, play guitar, and read together. He may not be the most talkative person, but he's always there to comfort me. He also sets boundaries to make me a better and more balanced person. He is my rock when everything else around me is in chaos.
8. When you let your thoughts flow, what type of ideas pop into your consciousness? (e.g. You wish you were more intelligent, better looking, kinder, more active in your community.)
I find that I am an architect. I like to see how things fit in life, and put things where I feel they should belong, whether or not they actually are cohesive in this universe.
9. What do you like most, what do you like least about your body, about your personality? (e.g. I like my feet because they help me get around, I dislike my nose because it is too big, I like that I am friendly, I dislike that I am too quick to get angry.)
I'm pretty content with my body. I'm long and lean, and even if my hair does not match at times, my style is in my personality. Just by looking at me, I stop time, traffic, cause car accidents, plane crashes, and make people completely speechless. Sometimes, people really should just look at where they are going and not be distracted by me. I'm just doing my thing and it's been working out really well.
10. If you were the leader of a great nation, what kinds of things would you like to change and/or accomplish? (e.g. I would want everyone to feel safe and go to bed without being hungry.)
I would rule with an iron-fist. Those who opposed me would be disposed. I'm am ruthless when it comes to those who are not just, and merciful to all those who uphold law and order. Miscreants would fear me, others would love me. I am a fair and understanding ruler, sometimes patient.

With any year-end wrap up, you take note to highlights that happened throughout the year. Well, in reflection of what I wanted out of this last year via my year-end post last year post, I pretty much accomplished everything:
- New Life: I helped to bring a new life into this wary world. She is thriving, to say the least!
- New Adventures: Though they aren't anything like randomly discovering a new territory of land, I did find a new territory of my tolerance. Parenthood is full of surprises which leads up to the next...
- New Experiences: Everything that has happened to me has been an experience that is new in one form or another. From pregnancy to birthing. I know that this last year is probably annoying to read for some of those because, as any television plot, pregnancy is always boring. :P
- New Job: Though, not a job which pays monetarily, being a mother has definitely been a job in-of-itself. Only since the birth of my daughter have I seriously contemplated the idea of being a stay-at-home-mom. I am looking at telecommuting gigs, or part-time work, but until I HAVE to go back to work, I plan to stay happily at home with my daughter. So many times, I have heard of mothers who have not been able to enjoy being with their child and that they wish they had more time to stay at home and be with them, and I am living that right now. I am so glad I enjoy her so much, but... really, it was never an issue of wondering if I would or wouldn't.
And as much as I have accomplished, I know that there is so much more that I could be doing to be better. I will never be satisfied with myself until I am on top of the world. For now, I will settle for just being Ami's world, as she is my life.
For 2010 (twenty-ten, ya'heard!), there are vague, obscure things I want and there are more tangible things I would want. I want to go to a zoo/museum/arboretum/historical site with my daughter/family. I want to really enjoy being a happy, healthy family. I want to express my creativity and love for the arts through various means and include my daughter in it. I want to be the best wife and mother I can be.
I want to be the definition of confident and exuberant!

Just learning as I go along, and so for a first attempt, I am proud of myself. I hope to hone my skills as I move forward.
The hardest part for me is learning how to color the face.

The book made me feel like a child again. Not the happy-go-lucky, exquisitely innocent type but the trapped, lonely, drowning type. It made me feel hopeless and lost again, smothered by too many creepy crawling insects.
There are some writings that are worth a brain marinade, and then there are those like the Twilight saga which is just there as just a waste of thought. I could have written "Twilight" in a coma however, I couldn't have written "Push".
I guess this is something that I've wanted to try to express, but haven't had the guts to until now.
===============
I had typed out some feelings and slept on it and when I returned it didn't sound as good as I wanted it to be.

9) List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1) Ami♥ - At least for the next 18 years of my life.

release a line of clothes for children, toddlers, and infants.
 
These are some POSH looking clothes. I can't believe these are for babies and kids. Where do I sign up to get them in my size, too?
Here's an outfits I'd like to put my little girl in:
Beautiful, just beautiful!

Typically, after I'm done bathing her, I put her on the towel that's laid out on the floor while I dry off. Well, on Tuesday she decided to go rolling. She finally rolled from her back to her front!
I'm terrified now! Soon enough she'll be rolling right through and walking right out of my life. :(

I tell myself that the reason I don't understand her is because she is speaking an ancient tongue in which details the most elegant tales of her life before her spirit chose my uterus. And when she stares at me, in her breath-taking silence it's because she is trying to telepathically show me this world in which my feeble brain barrier just cannot grasp.
It must be hard for my little girl. To have to live through enamel gouging its way through flesh. I cried when my wisdom teeth impacted. I cried when my jaw was chiseled, mangled... desecrated. But really, it's all I could do but not break down and cry with her.
My little warrior, fighting against a battle she did not choose. How can I help? I need to want you to be happy.
It's all I can do but to not break down and cry. My little angel.
Pediatrician Stats as of 10/14/09:
