Everyday Happenings!





I have not been very good at keeping up with this blog since we've been home. With my back going out and the hundreds of things that need to be done around here daily, I've let my blogging slide.

I will try to catch you up on things that have been going on:

Arianna had 2 teeth when we met her and now at almost seven months, is working on getting her 4th tooth. She is having a hard time with this one and is a constant state of drool.

She is able to stand assisted for 20 t0 30 seconds. This is a big deal, since when we first got her she wasn't bearing any weight on her legs.

She is now 15.4lbs. and is growing out of all of her 3-6 month clothing. She can fit comfortably in 6 months and 6-9 months are just a little to big (in sleepers only).

She can sit up unassisted for 10 seconds. We think that within a month she will be sitting up all by herself.

She loves her exersaucer and can spin herself all the way around in it.

She is starting to eat cereal and some baby food. We are only feeding her green beans and squash for now. She doesn't seem to care for the squash though.

She is sleeping all night now ( about 8 hours at a time ) and laying back down in the morning for another 2-3 hours.


She absolutely adores her big brothers and sister. She loves when they come home at the end of the day. She knows it's play time!


I am still having trouble with the adoption video getting posted. I think it's too long for Youtube, so we are working on cutting it down.


I am enclosing some pictures from Easter and of her playing in her exersaucer.

Love the lovely pictures and updates! She's a beautiful addition to your family! Glad to hear she is hitting some developmental milestones too...that's always a plus! Can't wait to see the adoption video once you get it straightened out :)

Sleeping through the night! I'm so jealous! No really, sounds like she is doing wonderfully at home :)
