Candid shot #2

Two poses, completely natural, taken by DC Donahue, are listed here. I could not decide which was more adorable so I leave it for you to decide.

Elizabeth's favorite is the one where she's not smiling. But I cannot decide...and love the smiling one because that is our number one activity: laughing together.

What's your favorite? Add a comment. We'd love to hear from you.

A candid shot

The latest Aria developments:

- Dancing in place first thing in the morning
- Eating just about everything in sight, and ESPECIALLY what we're eating
- Screaming as she runs around and keeps looking to see if you're watching her.
- Expressing her frustration when we set a boundary
- Making us laugh each day with some new facial expression

Pushing doors is cool!

Pulling doors open and then pushing them shut, as well as figuring out how they open and close, is a favorite activity for Aria. Here she is at DC's house, where she goes for day care, and she's holding her other favorite obsession: a book.

This photo was taken by DC's 15-year old son. I think he's got a future in photography!

This really captures her mischieviousness as well...note the expression.

August Beach Trip

Uncle Marsh and Aunt Allana came to visit us in August and we spent a couple of days at the coast.

Here's a sweet picture of Marsh reading to Aria. OR more specifically, he's repeating the word "basketball" over and over and trying to get it to sink in over the soccer cells already placed there by Mama Myra.

Memories of the trip include Aria giggling and enjoying her time with Aunt and Uncle.
