Playgroup...

This is my Chesapeake MOM's Club playgroup. There are 5 kiddos, twin boys J & J, a singleton boy C, another girl K and Aria. We take turns hosting once a week. Aria and I love it, the mom's and the toddlers are wonderful. This is a shot from yesterdays Halloween Party (most of us had costumes too hot to be worn inside)

Wearing Daddy's Red Wing boots, playing with Abby, going for a stroll...

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed...

We should have more, but this is from a MOM's Club Halloween Party we went to today. Aria's friends from playgroup, including twin boys in the same costume, were there also...

I'll be uploading more pictures soon!

Aria's 15 month well child...

Aria weighs 28 1/2 lbs, she is 33 1/2 inches long and head circ. is 40. That puts her in the 85th percentile for everything. She is h/w proportionate as they say. She is also adorable. Her latest thing is signing "more" while saying more. If we prompt her she will say "please" in the cutest way imaginable.

I'm 40 today and am so lucky and blessed to have a wonderful husband, daughter, family, in-laws and friends...near and far.

Punchy

She finally wants to wear her sunglasses...inside!

Loving my stroller, walking my dog.

Aria video...

Update...

Will try to post some pictures soon. All is well here. Aria says more words everyday...baby and more and uh-oh are the latest. I'll have to get video, it is so cute!

We dug out the Baby Einstein videos and she LOVES them. We watch about 15 min/day of the "World Animals", "Shapes" and keep the "Water" one in the truck for long trips.

We went to Nags Head recently to visit Anne and her family. Aria had a ball playing with Anne's daughter Allison --they really hit it off. We went in the baby pool at the complex and had a great time...it was pretty stormy so we didn't hit the beach.

Chris and I went to Nags Head again, the following Sunday. Chris went surfing and caught an awesome wave (yes, just one :P and Aria showed us for 2 hours that she is not afraid of the ocean AT ALL!! She even got tumbled around by a wave or two. She LOVES the water.

We are still enjoying our new home....
