LITTLE MAMA

Thankful today & everyday.

My Darling Ari,

You are feisty and full of life - I love you so much, but please stop throwing tantrums in Target.

Haha Two is such a fun age but one that tests you constantly. She is my wild child, free spirited, beautiful little. She loves our trips to Disneyland, riding on the carousel, watching the parades, and looking at the window displays of different Disney Movies. She loves the song - Stars, by Alessia Cara. Frozen is probably still her favorite movie. Ari is very impatient as much as I keep telling her we have to wait or share things she always wants to go first right away, but it's so cute when she's says, "Ari's turn, Ari's turn now." Gahh she kills me with cuteness. I hope she stays this happy and full of life. The innocence of a child is truly amazing I wish we all could stay this young at heart and hopeful for the future. I love you Ari Chanel Santibanez always and forever - never loose that sparkle in your eye babe.

Babe you are so crazy but I love you!

Terrible twos are so real and you are testing the waters but its okay I know its part of the learning process. :)

Favorite Things:

My Dearest Ari,

Today you are Two years old and as much as I hate admitting when people are right they are 100% right, time flies. You are growing up right before my eyes and I am just loving the person you are becoming. I love that you love me so much, love to pull and shove your fingers in my ears, cuddle when its time to go to bed, steal my food, stand up the entire time I am giving you a bath, dance without a care in the world, throw things in the garbage, read books, watch the same movie over and over again, jump on the bed, go up and down stairs, push your own stroller, watch youtube videos, drink from straws, use your pacifier upside down, throw fits, share nektar bowls with me, wake up and find me just to pick you up, sweep with me, and just genuinely love life. Happy Birthday my little nugget can't wait to see what the future holds for us. 

Love You Always

Your Mommy

One month left until my little nugget is officially 2!

Time - what is that? It has flown by so fast I can't even imagine how much faster the rest will go by. 

Cute things Ari does:

Says NOooooo and shakes her hand at me while she says it, its more like, " No mama!" so cute but I can't let her know that.

We all know she can dance but man can homegirl dance! She has got rhythm and loves anything with a good beat anywhere we are.

She loves me so much and gives the best hugs and kisses.

Still working on potty training on her terms of course and god she is just an amazing little human.

Personal Notel::

Life is still complicated but things will get better in time. In the meantime all I can do is be the very best Mom to Ari and love her unconditionally. She deserves nothing but the very best and I am going to give her everything I can always and forever. 

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.
