I had to make a brief appearance on our blog here. Not that I haven't THROUGHLY enjoyed Mark driving the blogging bandwagon as of late....but he snapped these pictures today and showed them to me right when I got home from work and I HAD to blog about my daughter. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop because she is PERFECT! She smiles and loves everyone. She never fusses. She eats whatever we feed her. She goes right to sleep whenever or where you place her for nap time (granted its always in a crib or pack-n-play). She even sucks her thumb....and its cute...oh so very very cute. Feel free to click on the above photo to see it bigger...because the bigger she gets it just gets cuter.
A few blog-worthy milestones. Ari is 8.5 months old. No teeth but I suspect something should happen soon in this department. She sits up, and pulls herself up to standing on most furniture, including her crib. But she doesn't know how to "gracefully" get down once she is up holding onto the side so she squawks adamantly until you appear to rescue her and then you are greeted with lots and lots of happy squeaks and smiles. She waves (just in the last 2 days), holds her hands over her head when you say "SO BIG" and if you ask if she is going crazy she shakes her head relentlessly (thanks ungurens!) I am also working on blowing kisses. She loves to play this game with me but has yet to do any kiss blowing without my help. She has also started doing the "stink face" where she scrunches up her nose and sniffs. The above picture was taken approx 3 mili-seconds after the stink face. We will capture it in its full glory here soon and document it.
I love seeing her personality starting to emerge. She ADORES her brother. If he even glances her way she lights up. Taj on the other hand prefers to not have much to do with her. But every so often I catch him loving on her and being kind or singing to her....fleeting moments but they do occur.
And here we have a picture of what happens when you sneeze when eating a rice cereal bottle. :)
I love you Ari Nicole!

Ari, you are perfect in every way. Aaron and I say you are the Mary Poppins baby. Tell your mom how you and I were waving at each other on our Calico Basin hike, so she knows who really taught you that trick, and a lot earlier then 2 days ago!
Yes that baby doll is adorable. (and I don't throw that comment around loosely)
I am SO glad that this girl is in my life. She is a hoot. And just as rad as her mother and father... and of course brother taj.
She is a cutey!! A little messy though. No sneezing when you're at our house. :) Can't wait to see all of you!!
