I love this cherry outfit!

Very drooly, getting an upper tooth and lower tooth...

Walkin' with my walker...

Posing...

Finally...more teeth!

Aria's upper two teeth are pushing through...also she has a third bottom tooth that has come up. I was starting to think this would never happen! She got her first two teeth at Christmas and nothing since! You can see in some of the pictures below that she is chewing on a teether...

We're going to visit Jess and Nic in mid-May. 6 hour car ride and child-proofing might be a tad challenging but we're excited to get up there...

A favorite place to play...but not for long!

Aria is 29", almost exactly the height under the table...

What is it Chris Rock says? "A parents' job is to keep their daughter off the pole and out of clear heels" =P

We will miss K and J and their wonderful boys...

Aria and Walker. He loves babies and is sooo good with her!

The triplets and their triathelete dad...

Aria and Walker (one of the triplets)

Lots of pointing...

In the last two weeks, Aria spends a LOT of her time pointing at things and looking at me to name them or explain them. She loves to point at pictures of her "mama" and "dada"but lights, fans, birds and of course, dogs are still favorite things. We have been having so much fun lately. Had a great visit with K and J and their triplet boys. Off to the Carlsbad Fair today. Hope to have a contract soon. Will keep you all posted...

Aria Swimming!

Well...floating a bit. We've been having a good time in the hot-tub (solar heated it gets to a decent ~86 degrees and the pool (up to 82!) Sadly I have no photos of this. I will ask Chris to take some pictures soon and post them. She is a zombie after her swims so we have to chill watching Baby Einstein or go for a stroller walk until she recovers =0

Extreme closeups or crawling on mommy

Balls are my new favorite thing!

Before and After...

I was 6 mos pregnant here....

a family shot recently ...

Aria has CURLY hair!!!

Lots of smiles in the morning. Aria turned 10 mos on the day before taxes were due...our little deduction =)

Aria and her lovey...

Aria sleeps with this pink satin blanket with a teddy bear head. Lately when she plays in her room, she crawls to her crib and tries to pull it out and crawl around with it...

I tossed lovey back in the crib, we are playing "fetch"...

Updates...

Aria is doing a lot of "free-standing" but no steps yet. She loves to try to push anything across the room, including Casey! She also loves to bang to balls together and chase them across the floor. She babbles constantly and I'm pretty sure she uses "da-da" and "ma-ma" specifically for us. She does sign language for dog (panting) and more (clapping). She eats by stuffing both hands and I'm amazed she doesn't choke! Her favorite foods are cheerios, banana, blueberries, baby gold fish, tofu, sweet potato, cheese...there is pretty much nothing she won't eat except broccoli!

It has been pretty hot here (thanks to Santa Ana winds) and we went in the hot-tub with her yesterday (turned up only to 86 or so) and she had a ball! She loves the water. I can't wait until the regular pool heats up (its about 80) to a good temp to swim.

We've had a lot of traffic for our house and may be getting an offer soon. C was back in Chesapeake/Richmond last weekend looking at different neighborhoods and getting a lay of the land. We may all be coming back soon if we do get an offer.

Will post more pictures soon....

Walk-n-ride...

My favorite thing in the world these days...to walk behind this thing.

...I get pretty frustrated when I push it into corners or walls.

Visit from Grandma

I'm actually having a great time hanging out with nana. I just hope I don't get her pneumonia!
