Ariana Has Hit Her Half Birthday!


Wow, a half a year already. What a little doll. She puts up with so much from her brothers and is happy to just sit by and watch all the crazy going on. Here are a few fun memories from this month. 
Andy isn't always interested in her, but when he is I love to just sit back and watch them interact.

 She loves her bumbo. It gives her a good look out point to keep an eye on all the things going on.
 We also like to use it as a starter highchair. She tried her first taste of baby food and did pretty good. It was messy, but she enjoyed it. Now she will eat anything you put in front of her! (except bananas...those are not her favorite)
 Being outside is one of her favorite things to do. The weather has been so nice for so long this year that we have really gotten to enjoy our summer. She even took her first ride on our little bike trailer. She wasn't' quite sure how she felt about it.
 She is such a champion sleeper. I have always been blessed with good sleepers, but this one wins the game. She sleeps whenever you put her down. No fuss, no tears. Just a smile and a snuggle and she is out. what did I do to deserve such an amazing sleeper!?!
 Smiles all around all the time! Smiles and giggles and love from this little princess. Even when she is sick she tries to smile!
small bout of pinkeye, but still smiling.
 We always love our annual drop off of Goose Creek Fly In tshirts from Aunt Mary in New York. Sadly this will be the last year we get them, but I am so happy that Ariana got to get at least one to enjoy!
 Aj has been such an amazing helper. Our time in the car is almost relaxing because he will take complete care of his little sister. He knows just where to find her toys, binky, and stuffy. If I hand him a bottle he will stop everything he is doing and patiently feed her. What an amazing big brother he is!
Another super strange thing about this miracle baby is her love for tummy time. Most babies fuss and squirm, but from day one she would just relax and enjoy a different perspective on the world. 
Her first "selfie"
 She loves her binky, but loves her toes even more. This month she has found and fallen in love with them. She sucks on them endlessly, and refuses to keep socks on. She doesn't want her new "toys" to be covered up!
 Gammie got this awesome rattle for Ari in europe. She loves this rattle like crazy!
 Seeing as her first halloween is coming up we had to do a few fittings for her costume. This wig is the best part and makes her look just like a cabbage patch doll.
 It is so wonderful to have a cousin (clark- three weeks older) so close to her age. I just wish we still lived super close by so they could play together, but our occasional visits will just have to do.
 This girl is never hurting for attention. She has all the boys (daddy included) wrapped around her little finger and can get anything she wants. I guess that is a true mark of any Princess. :)
And as always when 6 months hits we get to enjoy a little photo shoot with Potts. This one was super fun and cute. She is just such a doll!!! Happy Half Birthday little lady!
