It's already January??

I can't believe how the time is flying! I will upload and post Christmas pics soon, and tell you all about Aria's fun Christmas. I don't think we'll ever take down the Christmas tree. Aria loves her Christmas tree and stockings!! She wakes up every day and looks at it and says "pretttttty".

Aria has been doing really great. She is getting better and better at the alphabet all the time. She can sing through the alphabet song now, and even tries to do the words at the end "now I know my abc's...." When she sees letters, she'll pretend like she's spelling it out and at the end of it says "Aria" ... she thinks everything spells Aria ;-) She knows all her letters really good now, and points them out in books or wherever she sees letters. She can also count pretty well to 10, but not as good as her letters.

She has also started making these faces at us... like when we don't understand something she is trying to tell us, she'll actually roll her eyes and make a sound (probably copying me... haha!) I always used to know what words she was saying (unless, of course she was babbling) until recently. She has started using words together in little sentences, and most times I know what she is saying... but sometimes I have NO idea what she is saying, and she repeats it over and over, and then gets frustrated and rolls her eyes, or shakes her head at me... as though she'd like to say DUH!

She is starting to get her canine teeth. We've had a great 2 full months break from teething. I hope these ones come in nicely! ;-)

At Church this week, she patted my belly and said "the baby". My heart just about melted.

Her personality is sure showing lately - she's been getting a bit of an attitude on one hand, and just gets more funny, on the other hand. She loves to play with her animals and baby dolls, and does lots of pretend play. She is getting really creative, and is so much fun to watch!

Potty training - she asks to use the potty several times a day... which constititues sitting on the potty and looking at magazines. She went poop on the potty once a week or so ago, but nothing since. At least she is interested.... although I think she just thinks it's fun book time. ;-) It would be so great to have her using the potty by the time the new baby is here, but, if not, that is OK too ;-)

she and Diella, i swear, are twins from two mothers, they have been so similar in practically everything since forever it seems! Diella can do all her letters too, and not half as good at the numbers also. also same as aria, her attitude shows alot, but so does her humor, i say the same thing, hehe! also same, she's about to get kanines & has had 2 month break, hilarious! AND Also same with potty, has gone a few times, asks to go alot, but would really rather just sit there & read... how funny!
