Photo Shoot!

Ok so Ari gets fussy when she is awake, and doesn't like to be moved when she is asleep, (she grunts, and I will have to get a video of it sometime :) so when she is happy I try to pull out the camera...here are some shots:

Aunt Taffy bought us a cute outfit!

Bath time!

Grandma (my mom) made Ari this beautiful bunting, and I haven't gotten any pictures of her in it until now...

 Oh yawns...and yes I realize there is a bat in the cave :)

This is my favorite...have a great day!

Trip to Great-Grandma's...

We made our first trip with Arianna (not counting the drive home from picking her up). My grandma and aunt, uncle and cousins live about an hour and a half away and this was the first free weekend we had to go visit them.When we showed up we were pleasantly surprised to find out that another of my cousins was in town on business.. 

 Grandma feeding Ari..we timed the drive perfectly, she woke up as we pulled into the parking lot...

 Cousin Emily getting some snuggle time...

 So happy we were able to cross paths with our cousin Mike, we don't get to see enough of you!

 Bonding over basketball...

Aunt Sue got her right to sleep :)

Somethings I have learned...

Ok so random things that being a mom has taught me.
I have learned:

• Bottle warmers are amazing!

• Ari does not like Enfamil, she will spit it up...not fun
• My soap and water bucket (for poopy clothes) needs to be bigger, my clothes need to fit in there too...
• A good stroller makes walks so much easier! I love mine!

• Ari loves classical music, and I love Pandora :)
• It is really hard to remember words to songs at 2am, even if you have been singing them since you were little...
• No one thing works all the time, you just have to be flexible and have patience...
• If you don't multi-task, nothing gets done
• Sometimes you have to stop and think about what makes it all worth it:
