LITTLE MAMA

I love how full of life this little one is. She loves jumping on the couch, dancing around the living room, baking cupcakes in her play kitchen. Her imagination is just starting to bloom and I can tell the next few years are going to be amazing. My favorite thing right now is so simple yet makes me smile every time.. it's when she brushes her hair out of her face and I can see that beautiful face of hers again. She loves hard and fights harder but at the end of the day she always apologizes with a hug and a kiss. My little one mommy loves this life of ours and all the adventures we will go on together. 

Merry Christmas my little love.

Ari's 3rd Christmas was a success, everyone came to my house and Ari had the best day ever. 

Although this was our first Christmas not as a complete family she is too young to know or understand which is probably for the best. So young, full of life & imagination. My little love I absolutely love your spunkiness and dread your attitude, lol.

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
