Squishmas

I forgot to post Arya's Christmas picture!

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)!

Tummy time (She thinks it's evil and does nothing but scream) 

Apple Picking!

One of the things that I insisted we absolutely had to do this fall was go apple picking as a family. A quick search on google helped me find Cider Hill Family Orchard! The orchard was beautiful and we actually picked a perfect afternoon to go (84 degrees with a really nice breeze). Brayden had a blast running around the trees (and we think he enjoyed the hayride, it's hard to tell at 16 months). We're hoping we can make it back out there before the picking season is over.

Arya slept the entire time we were there in our Ergobaby Carrier. If we do make it our there again, hopefully she decides to be awake for some pictures.

Finally picked up a snuggabunny-

I don't know how we lived without it before! Her old swing (from Brayden) was awful since day one. Pardon the blurry phone picture (it's moving) but we scored this swing for $65 off of craigslist here in KC and she loves it.

Maybe I can finally get some unpacking and organizing done in this apartment to make it feel more like home! Once we're fully settled in I'll start posting more.

A Goofy Grin

My sweet girl was all smiles this afternoon. It's hard to believe she's six weeks old already. It feels like just yesterday we got our BFP.
