It has been another exciting month for little Miss Ariah. All four of her molars came in, which she wasn't too thrilled about! Hopefully we're done teething for a bit since we've worked through 6 new teeth in the last month and a half.
She's still enjoying swim lessons, but I think we're going to stop for a while and work on everything we've learned on our own. She has gotten really good at kicking, holding on to the wall, and swimming to the wall and grabbing on. She doesn't like floating on her back all that much, but we're still going to practice since it is so important!
Since we're stopping swim for a while, we are going to try out the Little Gym. Knowing how much she loves to climb, I think she'll have a great time!
She is getting very good at the words she already knows and has been working on some new words/sounds this past month. She's now saying "uh oh", "all done", "push" (for the swing...although most people wouldn't be able to decipher this one :-), and my parents noticed yesterday that she's starting to say her name. It sounds like she's trying to sing it...with all three syllables very clear. I've never noticed her doing this, but we've already heard her say it twice now since my mom mentioned it last night! Amazing!
She's very in to playing outside these days, despite the heat. She loves to play in the dirt, water the flowers, move rocks around, swing, play in any water she can find, chase the cat, anything she can find to do outside!
Another change this month is her attachment to Blankie. She's always been very attached to Blankie, and it comes with us everywhere. But these days we can't go more than 10 minutes before she does her sign for "where's Blankie?" I don't mind having Blankie around all of the time, but it gets a little tricky when Blankie needs a wash or when we are somewhere (like in the pool) where Blankie can't come!
Here are some cute pictures from the month. She had a blast looking at herself in the mirror with sunglasses on!
