2013

This past year was pretty eventful for my little family. There was a lot of good, a little bad, and a few ugly moments but overall, it was a wonderful year. I made a few new friends in Iowa, my silly boy turned one, I gave birth to my daughter, Travis found his career, I moved to a new city and made even more new friends. I hope 2014 brings even more good into our lives and that it's full of opportunities for us to grow and thrive.

Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the last year in no particular order! (I apologize for the cruddy phone quality of some)

Yesterday we spent the day with some friends. It was a great day that ended with an awesome fajita dinner and an ornament exchange.

Arya's new seat

This is actually her second new carseat. She hated the infant bucket so we initially picked up a Graco My Size.  We ended up having a few issues with the seat so we got a refund and picked up a Diono Radian r120 instead. As you can see, she thinks it's chest clip is delicious.

Arya Rose, Four Months Old!



At four months old Arya is 25.5" tall, 15 pounds 5 oz, wearing 9 month tops and 9-12 month bottoms (largely due to cloth diapering again)!

Likes:
Nursing
Cuddling mom and dad and occasionally Brayden
Grabbing at things
Smiling
Laughing
Her swing
Her (borrowed) bouncy chair
Water, this girl loves her baths

Dislikes:
Being tired, girl will fight sleep like no other.
Brayden's shrieking when he's angry or impatiently waiting for food
Bottles, she still won't take them.
Daddy's coughing and sneezing
