Fall is here!!!
Fall is here :) And with it has come some really fun projects for Ariah and I to do together. Cornstarch paint, leaf hunts, and making applesauce! At least an hour every morning and every afternoon has been "mommy and me" time. No cleaning (although Ariah did a very good job of cleaning up her paint mess; no joke!) just fun time. She is getting so independent! Still a baby at heart, but she doesn't believe it. I'm excited for what we'll be doing next!

Where has the summer gone?
Well, I was determined to post every day or at least every other day, but, since it is now AUTUMN that has obviously not happened. Oh well. I'll catch you up a little bit :)
Ariah is now walking! She spends very little time on her hands and knees anymore and is trying to bounce:) She said "kitty cat" once (and I have it on video to prove it! lol) but other than that, she talks in her own way. She crawled out of her crib a few weeks ago so it has been transformed into a toddler bed (toddler???? NO!!!!). She's still nurses even though she has ten teeth (she learned early that biting was not an option lol). I can't believe it's been more than a year!!!
We are going to start a little bit of a school of sorts where we will be actively working on body parts and colors as well as some autumn vocab words. I know it sounds like a lot to expect from a one year old, but she loves the one on one time with mommy. I've also started classes up again and there have been many days where I can't think of more than a few minutes where she and I really played together. I HATE that. So, I've decided to come up with a special activities every day for an hour or so where we do a learning activity together that's fun, messy, or active.

These are some magnets I made out of wallet sized picture frames. Cute huh?
Well, we've had a fun summer. Trips to Kansas City, Virginia, and Salt Lake, but that's A LOT to recap (I'm having a hard enough time doing it for my journal lol). Sufice to say we've had a great summer with our little princess. I'm really looking forward to autumn with her and all the activities we have planned. We've already gone apple picking (which she LOVED) and have so many projects to look forward to! Hopefully I'll be better at blogging, but hey, I'm a busy mommy! (and I love every minute of it!)
