8 months
Aria, you love your bath time! Since you've taken to the water, we decided to take a Mommy-and-Me swim class together! Our first class was on 1/25/17. Honestly, I was curious to see what you would do when we actually got in the water. At first you clung to me and the water wasn't quite as warm as we like to have but by the end of it you were really enjoying yourself. Only three total in the class and you were the youngest and only girl there. You wore an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini! And you looked absolutely adorable. I love my bikini baby. In the class we practiced front floats, back floats, blowing bubbles (go figure it's the only time you wouldn't blow your raspberries was in the pool), kicks, and climbing out of the pool. I wouldn't say we are ready for the Olympics, but you sure did a great job and it must have been exhausting work. Nap time always followed our swim class.
Still crawling all over the house. You especially like to come after us if we start to leave the room. You are getting quick too! Sometimes we pretend to chase you and you squeal with excitement. Or we will let you peek around the corner to "surprise" us. It's so much fun to play with you. You love it when we will throw you up into the air and catch you! You are fearless and I have to admit that is kinda scary for mommy. But Daddy and I think you will love going on roller coasters in the future!
We have been trying to teach you to blow kisses. You have not been consist with it but the one time you actually did it on your own and it was directed at Daddy. It made your father extremely happy! You have occasionally made fish lips and it makes us laugh so much! I guess that is what you think we look like when we give you kisses.
Everything is trying to make it into your mouth these days. Must be wanting to test out your incoming tooth. #O tooth is just barely cutting through. You can get a little fussy with it, but we already have been practicing our brushing which you take to very well.
This month we celebrated your first Valentine's Day! You actually (with help from your GiGi) made us a little gift to celebrate Valentine's. You picked out Frozen Valentine's to give to your Daddy and me, along with a cute picture printed from your Valentine's photo shoot. It was the sweetest thing, receiving a valentine with mommy written on the card. You will always be our Valentine forever. Happy Valentine's Day. We love you so much Aria!
