9 Months Already!





My good luck charm on St. Patrick's Day!

Arden turned 9 months this week and I cannot believe she has been in this world on the outside as long as she was on the inside!  She is 20.2 pounds and 28 1/8 inches putting her in the 75th percentile for both...she is a healthy growing girl!  She is vivacious, spunky, crazy, and incredibly happy.  She smiles all day and I can not have a bad day when I am with her.  She makes every day have meaning and fulfillment.  I love that she is my little partner in crime and goes everywhere with me.  We have an incredible bond that I hope to only strengthen as time goes on.

She has been so busy the past couple of days!  Within a week, she learned to sit from laying down, crawl, and stand from kneeling!!  She also likes to point and make noises about where she wants to go or what she wants to see.  She has so much personality and is a little ham!  Just tonight, when she was having her last feeding, she was blowing bubbles and getting drool all over her face and hair and just laughing at herself.  Chris and I were laughing and it was as if she was doing it to make us laugh.  :)

Arden still loves to eat.  She LOVES raspberries...all berries really but raspberries hold a special place in her...well, mouth.  She feeds herself so well!  She loves her puffs, shredded cheese, pasta, and avocado.  She also loves banana and says "ba" when she sees me start to un-peal it.

We have so many amazing things happening in the Aiello Household!  Garden of Arden is up and running and business has already been amazing!!!  I am so grateful and I now have the two best jobs I could ever ask for!  We have celebrated some wonderful babies that are about to come into the world!  Baby Jain, Baby Dearing, and Baby Schneider are going to be very loved!!  We are also going to the Bahamas April 8th!!  It is going to be amazing and as it is snowing here in "Spring," the timing could not be better!
