Week 17

Hello again. This week has been an exciting one for Aria. She finally got the courage to make the leap. Yes, yesterday the 5th of October she rolled over! She has gotten so very strong in the last few weeks. I used to just set her in her swing and bouncer because she was a little immobile baby. Now I must use all the required straps to keep her in these devices. If I don't I find that she has used her back legs, lol, she's not a dog, let me rephrase, she has used her legs to lift her body up and scootch her butt down. It was so bad in her swing that her head was about where her bootie was supposed to be. This week Aria has continued to make her bubble blowing noise. She tends to do it when she is bored or just not that amusing by my mommy entertainment. It's really quite adorable.

Yesterday Auntie Gabby came over to make cookies with us. Carrey from Beau-coup was visiting in the evening and I was feeling quite homemakeresque and wished to have delightful homemade cookies to offer when she arrived. We made butterscotch cream cheese cookies. They were quite delish and I had no less than 9 (cries inside for a minute). I was sitting on the couch at one point waiting for the cookies to bake and I lifted Aria up over my head in the "superman" pose. She took this opportunity to drop a glob of her ever abundant drool directly into my open eye. Needless to say, I was just happy it was only drool and not barf, hehe.

When the big moment happened mommy was unfortunately in the kitchen, specifically scrubbing a rust spot of my henkels knife. Auntie Gabby was doing some tummy time with Aria. When lo and behold she yanked her little self over onto her back. Try as I may she wouldn't do it again. I'll give it another go today though.

Another cute thing she does now is to laugh hysterically when daddy rubs his head/blows on her belly. She thinks this is the best thing that ever happened and lets out the longest happy giggles.

Unfortunately Stinky is crying now, so I must go, hopefully to continue later…..

Well I'm back. I was planning on going on a morbid tangent about the passing of the great man known as Steve Jobs yesterday. I do not have the time now I realize as I sit here at almost 3pm with wet hair, in my pajamas with a baby wining in her swing. So I will just say, he was a great man, a great thinker, leader and someone who everyone can strive to be like. He gives us hope for our dreams, as long as you are crazy enough to peruse them. Stay hungry, stay foolish. Rest in peace.

Ta ta for now.
