Arianna Turns 1

Look who turned 1 today! Our sweet little Arianna
19 pounds 6 ounces
and 29 1/2 inches long
Arianna is just a sweetie pie and she's a lot more cautious and sensitive than the other two. Not once have we had to tell her to get away from the fireplace because she just stays away on her own. We never had to say no about taking ornaments off the tree or eating things that she shouldn't. I told her "no" one time when she tried to unplug the carbon monoxide detector and that was it... she just knows her boundaries and she listens very well.
She IS the youngest though, so when she wants something and doesn't get it she WILL throw a big fit and cry. Scott and Hailey always give her what she wants, which is very sweet of them. She loves to smile and laugh and is very very ticklish
She likes to flirt, but that's as far as it goes. She smiles and blushes and waves at everybody, but if they try to hold her or come closer to her she will let them know they won't be picking her up. She won't be held by anyone but Mom, Dad, Scott, Hailey and Grandparents. She loves her Daddy and is so excited when he comes home. Even at this age, she hears his voice and goes booking down the hall to greet him.
She is a VERY picky eater! She will only eat the very runny baby purees, applesauce, yogurt, club crackers and chocolate chip cookies. No cheerios, no puffs, no bread crumbs, not even a brownie or anything else. We've tried to puree our food, but it must come from the baby food jar. I've even tried pureeing our food and putting it in a clean baby jar while she's not looking and nope- you can't trick her.
Her favorite things are her paci, blankie and her little polka dotted puppy and usually it's all three of them together.
She is just an angel, and we are so blessed to have her in our family! We just love her to pieces
