The Little One Stopped for Heavenly Seven

It seems that as soon as we start bragging about Ariel's sleeping, she gets the final laugh and changes everything on us. How sweet she is. Well, our little princess isn't crazy about solids. Most of the time, she cries when we fee them to her, even the purees. It wasn't until recently that we decided that she just doesn't like the rice cereal . . . or peas . . . or green beans . . . or anything that isn't a fruit. Great. She inherited mom's sweet tooth.
Right now, she is working on rolling from tummy to back and getting onto her tummy from the sitting position (without the face plant, of course). Ariel's sleep habits are still a battle Eric and I tend to lose, but we fight the good fight anyway. She sleeps GREAT during the day, but once 7 pm rolls around, our little princess turns into a toad! She gave Eric's parents a run for their money, when they babysat one evening. We are very fortunate that they are masochistic enough to want to watch her at night again. "One of these days she'll sleep", I keep telling myself, "One of these days."

We survived Ariel's first cold, minor upper respiratory junk that she caught on Thanksgiving (must have gotten it from a certain pickle someone gave her . . . inside joke). Other than that, Ariel is status quo. She continues to like story and Jumperoo time. She is partial to the board books, as she has a thing for eating paper. Church is one of her favorite places to go. So much going on, it really keeps her entertained. The other parishioners enjoy her smile each and every Sunday.
On the horizon this month: First Christmas X 2, First New Year. Please enjoy this month's pics.
