Being Ari's Mommy

It is so hard to explain how perfect it feels to be Ari's mom. He has helped me to remember all the things that are important in my life. I have put more effort into developing my own talents because they are the things that I want him to be surrounded by as he grows up, and it makes me more happy at the same time. He is so beautiful and it is so fun to watch him grow.

I am glad they have fun while I am at work.

Small Things that are Big, that Make a Big Difference

I got tired of watching Ari hit his head on the hardwood floor, so we bought this big shag rug. Ari loves rolling around on the floor now. He does a worm-like move that I think will eventually lead to crawling. It is so soft and thick that he even takes his naps on it sometimes.

Ari's super cute new BFF

Our friend Alison made this little guy for Ari because he fell in love with her girl version of this doll. He loves it, and I love it. I hope he doesn't chew it to pieces!
