LITTLE MAMA

17 MONTHS ☺️ 2/26/16

Our sweet baby girl is 17 Months today, she is a little fireball and I can't get enough kisses and snuggles from her. I love this month because of Valentines Day & my birthday, I turned 30 last week and can't believe how fast time has gone. I celebrated with my two favorite people in this entire world, Ari and Ryan. It was by far one of the best birthdays ever. 

WHATS NEW:

She's adventurous loves to stand on her toys, pull the DVD's off the shelves and step on them, play with the tupperware and pots and pans, she can reach and grab things off the counter now, she loves to turn on and off the light switches, push the garage door button and door bell, obsessed with touching our ears, and grabbing her squeeze packets all by her self and shutting the drawer and she also likes to close the refrigerator door when it's open ☺️ Likes to throw things in the toilet (SMH). She is also trying to jump it's the cutest thing ever! Pretty sure she says 'all done' now and does sign language for 'more' and 'finished' with her food. 

FOODS:

Loves squeeze packets, animal crackers, tortilla chips, cheese, bananas, oranges, hummus & carrots, PB & apples, and bread.

LOVES:

Dancing, Elmo, Sesame Street, Eating, To be held all the time, Kisses.

To say this has been the funnest month yet would be an understatement.

Ari is changing so much by the day it really is amazing to watch and know that there is so much more to come.

LOVES Sesame Street like so much that she will actually sit still and watch it! lol. Elmo is her favorite and she just started saying "LMO" its the cutest. She dances to the songs and gets up and throws her hands in the air. 

FOOD I don't know where to start with this category as she literally will eat anything you give her. She is still a vegetarian which I love and she likes to steal my food which is mainly sad for me :( lol. She loves the "greenie" drink from Nekter she loves mac and cheese, carrots and hummus, apples and pb - she even dips them and eats it! I might be more impressed with this than anyone else haha. Oh and she is very independent she likes to eat by her self and must hold all food. 

MUSIC is her passion I can tell - she likes to dance to anything with a good beat especially hip hop and rap (I know). 

HAIR I am so excited its growing out more she likes to brush it and also mine and dada's. I can put her hair in a top pony tail or two pigtails and she is still rocking that baby mullet quite nicely these days.

KISSES oh this is just the best she gives kisses now! She will kiss me then dad then me and him and back and forth till we stop. I LOVE IT! Sigh I will miss these kisses when she's older so for now I take full advantage she's just the cutest. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

FACTS ABOUT ARI AT 15 MONTHS:

WORDS: Up, Wee, Buh Bye, Bah Bah, DaDa, MaMa, Tank You, Delo (hello) :)

FOODS: Everything, literally everything! She has not had a thing she doesn't like yet! Still Vegetarian.

TRAITS: Being carried all the time, likes to sit on you no matter where you are, loves to eat 24/7, likes playing in the bathtub, brushing her hair & her teeth, wearing her cowgirl boots.

COUPLE CHRISTMAS HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Little Miss Ari is 14 months today and we are beyond thankful for her.

She brightens our day with her smile and laugh.

A little crazy at times but what kid isn't.

Her personality is coming out and she is becoming her own little person.

She loves squeeze packets of fruits and vegetables and her new favorite is mac and cheese.

PS She really loves this dress :) 

Howdy Partner!

Everyday this little human amazes me more and more.

We officially have a walker on our hands! Now that she can she is crusin everywhere! I am literally terrified she is going to get hurt overtime she falls, lets hope she doesn't!

She has an amazing personality and loves to smile and laugh and be held by anyone!

Ari eats everything and I mean everything I made lasagna last night and she was grubbing on it, I think she ate more than me haha, truth.

I love watching her grow everyday but it makes me so sad after her first birthday I practically cried for 2 days. Thats life though, the days are long but years are short so enjoy every moment. Whenever she wants to be held no matter how tired I am I can't say no because I know there will be a day where she won't want or need to be held anymore. So I get as much snuggles in as I can whenever I can. There is nothing better than holding your child and watching them smile and sometimes squiggle out of it because lets face it they would rather be playing with their toys then having mom squeeze them and smother them with kisses hahaha but its my favorite. :)
