Arianna turns 3

I just love this kid! She is so creative, imaginative, kind, fun, and artistic. She loves to sing and dance, draw and glue. Nature walks, stomping in puddles,picking up rocks are all on her favorites list.  She enjoys reading too! Ari is a great big sister! I can't imagine a day that she didn't make me laugh. I am so blessed to have this little girl in my life.

Oh how you are changing! You can roll from place to place. you can inchworm a little bit. Now I have to watch where I lay you because you are never where I put you. You giggle and laugh at Arianna and swirly. You got to go on your first trick-or-treat. You met grandma and grandpa Batton and great Aunt Rita.  Everything goes in your mouth. You went swimming in the swimming pool for the first time. And you started on cereal which you did not care for much. You are a joy, my sweet baby girl.

Arianna as a big sister

Arianna is the best big sister.  Since the beginning, she has loved Isabelle. She asks to feed her. I find it amazing to watch her with Isabelle. I was so worried she would be beyond jealous but instead she just adores her. Whenever Isabelle needs a toy, Arianna brings them over to her sister. She loves to make Isabelle laugh. She reads books to her.  When Isabelle cries, she jumps up and tells us " go get sister!"

I am amazed at the love she has for her baby sister. She shares her bed with Isabelle. 

Isabelle at one month

Month one has just flown by! I cannot believe how well Isabelle fits into our family. Her big sister has been amazing. She loves to help her sister.  

She holds her head up and has been trying since day one.  She rolled over from her tummy. It was probably an accident but she did it! She has been sleeping in four hour chunks which makes me one happy mom! She loves her bath time. Hiccups a lot. Smiles all the time! She got to meet grandma Geri on Mother's Day. Loves to snuggle.
