Happy 6th Month Birthday!

"Happy 1/2 Birthday Aaralynn! I can't believe you are 6 months old today. You have made me the happiest mom in the world. I can't believe what you have learned to do so far and I can't wait to see what else you are going to learn to do." Love, Mama

5 months old

Aaralynn is 5 month old today. Where has the time gone?

She's getting bigger and bigger each day. I don't know her official weight or height, but I am guessing that she is about 21-22 lbs and 28-29 inches.

The biggest news is she is getting her first tooth. You can actually see the beginning of it.

Here are some pictures:

Aaralynn goes swimming: Aaralynn and I for the last 3 months have been going to the local pool for a Mom & Me Water Yoga class. Our friends, Terri and Aimee does the class with us.

The Flu Is Here!

Well, the flu has struck our home. Darian is sick, not sure if it is H1N1, but he definitely is not well. So as a precaution, he is now sleeping in the basement and is wearing a mask around the house. Aaralynn has a look on her face, not understanding why Papa can't carry her but can look and wave at her from a distance. I am hoping the shot I got yesterday (after waiting in line for 3 hours) will take affect soon. (He is all better now. This blog was started last week.)

In other news, Aaralynn celebrated her first Halloween as a monkey. Aaralynn when trick or treating with the Burke's children. She did really well, considering it was close to sleep time. Here are some pictures.

Photos and Videos Update

Here are some new videos of Aaralynn. She now enjoys her exercise saucer. This is now her new favourite thing.

Aaralynn wears her new pink Adidas Outfit. (Thanks Uncle Ben!)
