Home is Where the Houses Are: Week 40

Well here we are. I can't believe it! Aria has been longer out than in! It's really quite amazing when I think about it, because being pregnant seemed so very long.

As I sit here, Aria is standing at the coffee table next to me. Yep, she now stands very well. She even tries to stand with nothing to pull herself up. It ends up being a very funny, surfer like pose before she falls straight on her face.

She still hasn't masted crawling. She bear crawls and army crawls. Bear crawling is what we call it when she walks on her hands and feet. In my opinion this is harder than "real" crawling.

Aria enjoyed yet another holiday, St. Patrick's Day! She was the star of the show here at Yaya and Pops' house. Yaya made delicious corned beer and cabbage (even though she couldn't eat any because she is on a juice fast). Kevin worked until 4 and then we just hung out here and relaxed.

On Sunday we went to Testarossa with Josh, Emily and their son Carlo. It was a bit rainy out so they were not serving in the Courtyard. But we had fun. We tasted inside with the babies and then had snacks outside. We were the only ones out there and we were sitting out there after they closed at 5pm, but the staff were very kind and accomodating. I really like the fellow Randy, he is soft spoken and lives with his folks taking care of them. He started working there in September or August. He is always quick to set up an umbrella or heater for us. The other taster Paul is nice too. I tried to use my charm to get him to help us out sooner because of the crazy crowd. Not sure if it worked too too well, but hey, I tried.

After tasting and chatting we went to Em and Josh's house in SJ and had delicious Chinese food. It was so cute seeing Aria play on the ground with another baby. I really think I must join a mom's group for her to get more interaction with kids her age. It's so very nice to have some friends who have a kid too! We stayed til like 10pm, talking about country music, tv shows and just anything and everything, it was fun to get out.

I am officially a member of the YMCA again. I've gone 4 times! And while I don't feel thinner yet I have hope that it will happen. Gabby and I went this morning. I think it inspired Kevin to go out for a run (which he is one right now). We are going to be the hot cute couple with the baby dammit ;)

Another achievement, Aria is getting her two front teeth!! Anndd she learned how to grind together the four teeth that she has, haha. Talent there ;)
