Pics of Aria taken at Thanksgiving by my sister, C.

Aria meeting her cousin, Will, at Thanksgiving.

Will is 6 weeks older than Aria and about 6 -8 lbs bigger! They had so much fun smiling and grabbing each other. I can't wait to go home again for Christmas!!

Bunny hat, just hangin' out suckin' my thumb and readin'

My Favorite Photo

Get a load of how big her feet are! I know you probably thought that was just the camera angle but it isn't--she has Hilton-esque feet (hopefully that will be the only Hilton-esque thing about her). What a great grin. We get to see this all the time. Aria is super smile-y.

Hang Loose!!

Aria has mastered the one finger suck, two finger suck and now, presenting the three finger suck!! Impressive. She is gaining weight as you can probably tell! She definitely has blue eyes. If they were going to change, they would've changed by now...

You've seen the virtual Bumbo party...here's the virtual Halloween Party

Playgroup Halloween Party at my house

All of the babies are older than Aria. Most are about 6-8 mos. We meet every week and have a great time. Aria LOVES play group. The duck is a model. He has an agent and goes to LA for photo shoots frequently. The monkey out-fit is home made! Aria is sitting in the corner of the couch sucking her paw.

Our happy family!

Aria was a LION for Halloween...because she is a big growler!

Enjoying exersaucer, playing with her toes

Late sunrise due to the smoke from fires

Smoke from the fires...

Too early for the spoon!! We tried to "feed" her the rice cereal, but she will only drink it..

Safe in Carlsbad

We are holed up safely at home. Air quality is terrible. Sky is a horrible yellow-gray that I have never seen before. Ash and soot have been raining down today, covering the surface of the pool. Friends in neighboring southern coastal towns of Encinitas and Leucadia are being evacuated, as are some people we know (and see at playgroup) inland. We are praying for an end to the Santa Ana winds and low humidity.

WANTED: Frog!

Please help. My frog is missing. If found, please return my crib. I'm desperate here people. Thanks,
Aria

Reward: SLEEP!!!

Aria 4 month update...

Aria is still in the 95% for height (26"), but has dropped to the 25-50% for weight (12 lbs 14 oz)...

We're going to have to add more ounces of formula to each feed--we've been giving her 2 oz to supplement per feed but he wants us to up to 3-4 oz/feed. We've also added 2 ounces of prune juice once a day to help with her "issues". I'm pretty sure my days of nursing are numbered....

She is doing wonderfully and hitting all her milestones: rolling front to back and back to front, standing, using the exersaucer...

Lovin' the exersaucer...playing with daddy.

A play date with our neighbor--he's 4 weeks younger than Aria

Mommy feeding me...
