Pretty in Pink?

No way, we're righteously red. Radically red! Rebelliously red? Really red.

Sign Language

We've starting taking sign language classes for Aerya (www.littlefingers.ca) and it's been tons of fun for all of us. We're learning lots and it's great to see Aerya being able to communicate with us. Here she is in her chair at class (for the 30 seconds she sits in it), and here she's showing us the sign for 'all done'.

Rainy Day

It's been raining the last couple of days and here's Aerya getting ready for a walk in the wet.

Fast and Faster

Hi all,

Aerya has been walking like crazy for the last month and has started running as well. There's something about her that just says "do it faster!" Whatever there is to explore, Aerya finds it, and at super fast speeds. Baskets are dumped, doors are opened and closed, drawers are opened and emptied, shelved are cleared... But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Here's a pic of Aerya at the only time she is ever calm and quiet.

Aerya at Nine Months

The busyness continues this month with strollersize and aquasize, but our library laptime is over. Aerya loves crawling over to visit the other babies at the end of strollersize, and she just hangs out and sometimes splashes at aquasize.

Aerya is starting to say words, but not at the appropriate object. Dada could be a toy, the window, or the remote, and Mama is anything that moves, or doesn’t! There’s also baba and mmm, which usually does happen with food. Aerya said her first word (mom) and uses it to get my attention. She also signs milk when she wants to nurse.

Some of the cute things she does is to mimic sounds like blowing raspberries and coughing. She also took her first steps and is walking, albeit a little shakily at first.

Aerya got two new teeth this month, the front tooth on the top left side and on the top right side.

Happy Easter!

There were so many cute pics of Aerya's first Easter, I couldn't pick just one! Thanks to Auntie Amber for the cute bunny onesie.

Fun Playdate!

We had a playdate with Gavin, Charlotte and Madison this month. It was so much fun to see all the babes playing together. Charlotte and Aerya were giving Gavin & Maddy lessons on crawling and walking, while the little ones demonstrated sharing by 'allowing' the older two to borrow thier toys.

A visit from Cousin Max

Autie Elizabeth, Uncle Craig and Cousin Max came for a visit this month from England. Aerya is 6 weeks older than Max and found him to be a great playmate! We all had fun and can't wait to visit them at their house.
