Aria is now 4 months old.....wait what?? Already?? No...No...No this can NOT be happening. Time is literally flying by and its a ride that is exhausting and so much fun all wrapped up into one.
She rolled over for the first time on Tuesday Nov. 18th and it was so special for me to see her actually do it for the first time. She was cracking me up. She looked like a fish our of water and it was so funny. She had no idea what she was doing but she was sure proud of the fact that she did it.
She also tried rice cereal for the first time 2 nights ago. And needless to say she was not a fan at all. I am starting to just slowly give her a tiny bit each night just to help her from feeling like she needs to eat every 1hour at night. Lastnight she liked it much better and slept soooooo great!
She is "talking" so much more and is just so happy! She smiles and lights up my world! Jax loves to play with her and it is the best thing to watch. I get to watch Aria fall more in love with her big brother each day. Jax just adores her and is getting to be such a huge help. How am I so blessed to have not 1 but 2 perfect babies. God is so good!
Wild at heart and im wild about her
They LOVE eachother! Its awesome!
My mom...my best friend...and being thankful.
Thanksgiving is next week. It is my favorite holiday. It is all about family and just being thankful. I am sooooo thankful for everything I have in my life. I have a husband who is the most hardworking and most loving father. I have 2 healthy happy beautiful babies. I have an amazing job. I have the best family a girl could ask for. I have friends that mean the world to me. This is just a few things on a list that is endless of what I am thankful for. As much as I love this day. It is always a reminder of the last time I talked to my mom where she was at home and not at the hospital. It was the last day I had a conversation with her. I replay it over and over and if only I had a rewind button. The night before Thanksgiving we had a fight...like so many teenagers and moms do. I had failed my driving test that day and it was just not a good day and we argued over something stupid...like most teenagers arguments are. I woke up so happy to help my mom cook dinner. It was my favorite part. Learning her ways and getting the house ready for family to come over. She woke up and had me call my aunt to take her to the ER because she had the worst headache of her life. I did and instead of telling her how thankful I was for her and how much I loved her the last conversation I had was the directions for her dressing. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner with my cousin Kayleigh just as my mom would have done it. She didnt come home from the hospital. One of my biggest regrets of my life is not taking that morning to just sit and hold my mom. I mean I was only 14 and not a fortune teller but man what I wouldnt give to just hold her that morning. The sad part is I dont even remember how she made her dressing. So a word of advice this holiday season. Dont stress about the food or the house, dont worry about the small details to make it "perfect" just hold your family and tell them how much you love them. Thats what this holiday is for. Its for just being with your family and being thankful for them and the love you share. Its not about what deals we can get for christmas or over cooked rolls. Just be thankful for family and love. Its all about the love.
I miss you mom and think about you all the time. I can already tell that Aria is going to be spunky like you and Jax has a love for life like dad. One day we will all be together again. Until then I will continue to try and make you proud.
