Almost Forgot

In the last post I forgot to mention a few of the newest things baby Ariya is doing

   1.) Her new FAVORITE thing to do is to scream at the top of her lungs. Scream not cry and I don't mean when she's hungry or tired or wet, but during play time and especially when she is standing up.  If I'm laying on the floor with her she will come over to me, stand up and then spend a good 30 mins screaming and letting everyone know who she is! She has also learned that screaming gets her attention so she has also started screaming "ahhhhhhhhhh" if she is in her exersaucer and is ready to get out. It might sound annoying but it really is the cutest thing!! (I'll try to get video of this posted soon)

  2.) She thinks it's HILARIOUS if you tell her "No", as soon as she hears this word she will give you the biggest grin. I'm pretty sure she knows she has us wrapped around her finger already and all she has to do is show us that sweet one tooth smile for us to cave.  Oh and as with most babies her least favorite things to play with are her millions of toys. She would much rather be playing with everything else, like computer cords (that one is her favorite) or anything else she can get her hands on that she's not suppose to have. Needless to say she is starting to the the word "NO" more often.

   3.) She has found her thumb. She's almost 6 months so it's not like she just found her hands or anything (she likes to look at them while I'm giving her a bottle) but within the last few days she has mastered the art of popping that little thumb out and sticking it in her mouth. She occasionally sucks on two of her fingers but it's the thumb sucking I want to avoid most. Ever since she was born she has refused to take a pacifier (thank goodness) so this new thumb sucking really surprised me. I'm hoping it's just a temporary thing that she gets over quickly. Taylor never sucked her thumb or used a pacifier so that's not a road I want to travel down this time around.

   That's it for now. I'm sure she'll do something in the next few day and I'll absolutely feel the need to  post about
