Arie' s world



Getting into everything!



Driving her car from Grandma and Grandpa!



Silly girl!

Just a quick 8 month update!

Arie is such a fun and happy little girl! She is so busy, always exploring and learning something new! She has been crawling for a few months now and you can tell is ready to move onto walking. She loves to pull her self up on EVERYTHING! She loves playing with all her toys for hours on end-her music table is her favorite right now because she can pull herself up on that and stand and play all by herself. This has led to a few falls but just gets right back up again to play-she is one tough cookie.

She is quit the little talker too-ALWAYS gabbing and giggling...really, really loudly I might add! Hmmm I wonder where she gets that?! She says, "dada" "mommma" and "baba" along with the other baby babble. We know she doesn't know what she is saying yet but it is so cute to hear those words! I have to admit that she said "dada" before she started saying "mommma" and she only says "mommma" when she is crying. Ha.

Arie waves hello and goodbye-to everything! She loves playing Peek-a-boo and we have been working on "SOOOO BIG!" and Patty cake. She almost has the hang of "sooo big" and does it every once in awhile, on her owns terms of course.

She still has just the 2 bottom teeth-and loves to show them off. We have been waiting for more to pop up but they are taking their time. She loves to feed herself Fruit and Veggie puffs and drinks out of a sippy cup! She is growing up so fast-we wish we could slow time down a little bit.

Good morning Mom!



"Good morning Mom!"

Arie is such a happy girl-especially in the morning. When she wakes up she just stands up in her crib and starts talking, singing and bouncing up and down, she is so happy. When I walk into her room she has this huge smile on her face and starts to giggle-my most favorite thing to see every morning!

Arie's 1st Christmas









We had a great Christmas with all of our family. We spend Christmas Eve in Fargo and celebrated with the Speral's. Arie slept thru Christmas Eve church so she was ready to go when we got home for gifts! The kids had a lot of fun opening their gifts and were so excited for Santa to come the next day. We had breakfast and opened stocking at Grandma and Grandpa Speral's and then made our way back to our house in time for Grandma and Grandpa Roberts to get there to celebrate Christmas Day with them. They enjoyed the day watching Arie open and play with all her gifts. Arie really had fun tearing in the paper and playing with the boxes. It was such a great Christmas, the only thing that would have made it better is if we could have been with Uncle Devin and Kelsi too. Next year will be fun when we spend it with them and their new little one! Arie is so excited to have another cousin! Here are a few pictures of the holiday fun!
