LITTLE MAMA

This month literally passed by so fast I have no idea where the time went.

Ari in one word, Adventurist. 

She amazes me everyday.

Has the biggest heart.

Understands more and more everyday.

Used her potty on the first try and continues to on and off.

She surprises me with how smart she is at such a young age.

Repeats so many words we say, even colors, and numbers.

Has watched Despicable Me 2 at least 100 times and loves it just as much as the first time.

I can't get enough of her hugs, kisses, and the I love you's.

My baby is growing up right before my eyes and I know she is going to be the sweetest kindest little girl. I do have to admit right now she is going though the terrible 2 phrase a little early but I don't expect those little tantrums to last long. 

Love You My Little Angel.

-Mommy

21, one of my favorite numbers. Why I am not sure maybe because my birthday is on the 21st or its just such a golden age and number.

Ari is amazing, she is repeating everything we say. Loves to jump, well try and jump. Her personality is very independent and feisty. She likes to stand in the shopping cart, high chair, anything that she isn't suppose to. Ari has to try and do everything herself or will throw a tantrum. She has a big heart and is very curious. 

On a side note this month has been the hardest month in my entire life probably for reasons I won't say. I will say this though and I am not 100% confident that it is true but if it is whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger - I sure hope it does, unless I fall to pieces. 

Ari is my reason for everything, the reason I wake up in the morning, go to work, strive to provide her the best life. If I could I would give her the world - and oh god how I mean that. I want and wish so much for her. I wish and pray that she has an amazing life full of love, laughter, and adventures. 

My Dearest Ari,

Mommy loves you so much - never forget that.

Kisses,

Mommy.

Her way or the highway!

This has been Ari's most independent month yet!

She loves to eat her food with a utensil and is pretty good at it most of the time.

I am constantly realizing she loves to try new foods and doesn't surprise me on the things she likes to eat.

She gives legit Kisses now and Hugs.

She is very aware of things and when I tell her to do something she does (most of the time) if we take something away from her that she is playing with she will throw a crying fit and throw herself on the floor.

She is climbing on more and more things every day and is super adventurous.

Her favorite word is NO when she doesn't want something or to do something she says NO and shakes her head - its so cute most of the time lol.

When it comes time to sleep Daddy tells her Night Night and if she's ready she will repeat it if not than yup you guessed it, *No* haha.

She LOVES Mickey Mouse club house and anything Minnie.

She knows where all her body parts are, how to turn around, jump, sit down, and so much more!

She moves her arms in a circle when singing the Wheels on the Bus go round and round...Loves the itsy bitsy spider song, ABC, and gets so excited when we sing them to her.
Last but not least still stuck on the pacifier.

All and all she is a little spit fire and we are just so in LOVE with her more and more everyday.

Ari is a lover not a fighter (well maybe just a little).

She loves to give hugs, be held, and blow kisses.

Reading books and dancing are her favorite things to do.

Food with flavor is key and variety lots of variety!

She is very independent love to do everything on her own.

When she's tired its all about our ears and cuddling up close to us.

Her smile can light up a room and anyones heart.

Beyond adventurous getting into literally anything she can, from her easter basket, cardboard box, to my heels.

If it's up she will try and climb her way to the top although stop at the first step.

Throws herself on the floor if she doesn't get her way.

Loves to try on our shoes.

Five words to sum up Ari:

Wild

Adventurous

Loving

Fun

Did I say Wild? ;)

It's Ari's 2nd half birthday today!

*Sigh*
Here we are again at her 2nd Half Birthday and again I am in ow how fast its gone by. Ari is becoming her own little person always on the go and genuinely just loves life. She has a beautiful smile and a beautiful soul. Life with her is amazing and although as parents we do get tired, there is nothing more rewarding than looking at your child and having them give you the biggest smile and hug - its their way of saying 'I Love You.' my heart skips a beat and all problems disappear. :)

Whats Ari Up To These Days?

Can officially climb on the couch by herself.

Tried salsa for the first time and loved it. 

She loves food with lots of flavor.
Knows how to throw away trash in the trash can.

She says I love you but it doesn't sound like it and only happened a few times but I know thats what she's saying lol.
Knows how to say please sounds more like 'peez' lol so cute!
She also says all done and shakes her hands when she is done eating.

Obsessed with dancing to everything.

Loves to give hugs and kisses.

Ari loves books and having us read to her.
She loves to wedge herself in between us and the counters when we are cooking or washing dishes & cry to be picked up.
She pushes the light switch on and off when we get home and helps close the garage by pushing the button too.
She knows where her nose, belly, and toes are.
She is super independent and loves to do everything herself.
She just started to peel her own clementines she sits down with a little bowl and concentrates so hard and peels it and puts it in the bowl.
I don't know why but she is obsessed with our ears she has to be touching them at all times and right before she goes to bed.
We are trying to ween her off the pacifier with her new stuffed animal she got at daycare called Freckles (photo below) a mini cheetah beanie baby its the cutest - its still a work in progress.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this girl so much she's amazing.
