My Strange Second Born





I'd always heard and read that 2nd born kids are more pacific and easily pleased and not picky.....maybe my Aria is just a firstborn in disguise? She is so specific about what she needs, it's crazy! To sleep between 6 and 8pm she needs to be slung, on me, listening to the washer, and sucking on my pinky finger....otherwise she is a knot of freakout howls....
To balance this though, once she's out, she's out and can be upside down and chill. Oh and she's been sleeping through the night since birth (minus the odd midnight diaper change needed night or two)

Giggly girl




Aria apparently finds most of her life so amusingly blissful, she can't help but laugh. Last night the girls woke me out of a dead sleep cracking up IN THEIR SLEEP, surround sound giggling is just bizarre, esp when punctuated by snores :P
Aria has more babble sounds and more control of her arms, no real coordination, but lots of crawling action

Hooray for Gross Motor Skills!




Aria can now roll from her back to her tummy! She smiles like crazy whenever her sister or Daddy come into view, and really like Lark's alphabet bath letters :) She also adores the gauze wrap (so light and airy), and gets a more restful nap when she's near Lark :)

Too old already!


Aria does NOT act like a 3 week old! I realize I (and Lark) were drugged out, but this is ridiculous! She is holding up her head, trying to roll over, laughing at her sisters jokes, geez!
Her eyes are still a gorgeous slate blue though :) Slightly lighter then Lark's at this age.
