In the past six months Ariana has grown from a newborn baby into this tiny little person, unique and perfect in every way.
She's been working on perfecting her sitting skills, so she can see the world from a whole new angle.
And I'm right there behind her to catch her when she falls.
And while we don't keep her in a cute red bucket at home... it does make for an interesting photograph!
Oh, and little sister can rock those cloth diapers too!
I love her inquisitive eyes and her ever-so-slight grin.
I also want to cover her room in that chic vintage wallpaper!
A girl like Ariana just begs to be put in pink!
Check out those arms... she gets those long things from her mama!
Her body is 6-month-sized... but with those arms she easily fits into 9 month clothes.
Seriously... where can I get this wallpaper?! I'm so in love!
Her smile... that the reason I still hold her in my arms for what seems to be 24/7.
Any glimpse of that smile, and I'm in heaven.
The one that says she's happy, and knows that she is loved.
And, that's the one thing she's spoiled with... love.
She's no mechanical swing baby... she doesn't cry it out.
She gets heaping doses of love, and hugs, and kisses, and tickles.
And... judging from her smile, that's ok with her.
And, as I look down at her in my arms,
I think that I might be getting the hang of this mothering thing after all.
I love you Ariana! - Mom
