Arina the sponge

Our trip to the dentist went off without a hitch! We are now 2 years with no cavities! The dentist doesn't think Tanner or Carter will need braces (thank God!) I don't know where these kids get their good teeth, its not from me or daddy!

Arina is such a crack up! She's developing this little personality, and its too cute! Remember how much she loved the water bottle?
She is moving all over the house now. We consistently find her coming down the hall to find us in our bedroom
Uh, excuse me, could you move the basket so I can come in???

We are getting all the crazy things DS kids can do with their low tone. Jax stays in the same spot I lay him down in. Arina has her legs all over the place!

Seriously, I have no idea how she did this!!


She is using her hands more and more. Now that we've gotten the ok to try table foods, there is nothing this girl won't eat! If she see's you with food, she's there in a heartbeat begging for a taste. We finally got her to wave! Yipee!! Now we are going to choose one sign, and start using it with her. We decided if it was anything to do with food, she'd pick it up fast! So we are doing the sign more. She has to sign more anytime she wants anything, including food.
Here's her wave.

She is also pulling herself to standing a lot. Yesterday she pulled herself all the way up on our TV stand, then she got stuck. Her hands were too high for her to try and let go and sit on her butt. Of course I did what every good mom does. Snap a picture before rescuing her!

    I'm so in love with her! Look at all the wonderful things she's doing! Arina is really blossoming. I wish I lived close to you so I could get my hands on her and Jax!

    She's SO cute!!

    We used a crib shield for Ruby -- she always got stuck between the bars. Something like this: http://www.breathablebaby.com/liner/liner-cribshield.html

    It's wonderful to see her blossoming. Love the picture of her standing up and look at her hair. It's getting so long.

    Lots of hugs (don't feel bad about donating okay.)

    She is such a doll! Claire sleeps like a crazy lady too. Her legs are always every which way.

    Claire's best sign right now is 'all done'. Which I love, but she says 'all done' to EVERYTHING she doesn't want to do. Don't want to practice walking, sign all done. Don't want your nose wiped, sign all done. Oh well, at least she is cute while telling me no. :)

    My boys don't know how to play either, other than get the ball in the hole. I spend a wasted 30 min one day trying to teach them the right way before I gave up and then we all enjoyed the game so much more. Really who cares? As long as they are physically doing something, I sure don't. They'll learn when they are older.
