Ariah at 7 months

Ariah's favorite things:
Anything that rattles, especially paper
Strings
Peek-a-boo
When her dad comes home
Toes and shoes, not just hers but any she can get a hold of

Things Ariah hates:
The vaccume
Loud noises
Putting hats on

Ariah's newest skills:
Eating baby food
Blowing raspberries and playing copy cat, if you blow one she'll blow one
Rolling all over the house
Pulling herself up to standing
Holding her own bottle
Sleeping through the night in her own bed
Growing teeth! She has two!

Funny things Ariah does:
She makes the funniest face when you help her into a sitting position, I will have to post a viedo!
She will NOT laugh! We joke that she is a comedy critic because she just does not think many things are funny! And whatever she laughs at once is not funny ever again!

New Habits:
Ariah is particular about some things like when she was little she would love to fall asleep on your chest, then she had to have her head in your neck now she likes to have her head covered to fall asleep just to drown out the world.
Two naps a day
As soon as I pull back her diaper her hands like to explore her exposed flesh, I have to be quick to restrain her if she is poopy

Christmas 2009


Christmas was so much fun this year! We enjoyed having Ariah here with us! She received some great gifts. Some of her favorite things about Christmas: playing with wrapping paper (even sneaking in some bites), playing with bows, her new toys, and especially playing with family and friends.





Our apartment is so small we wanted a tree for Ariah's first Christmas so we were given this wonderful twig by Jordan and Emily. It was perfect!
