Arianna is 18 months old!
 I'll fill in her stats next week after her appointment :)
Where do I even start? Ari is the cutest little thing in the world. She's definitely my little baby not just because she's the youngest....she's sensitive and has to figure things out on her own time (like eating). She loves to cuddle and she is just my little love bug. I just love this girl to pieces! Just over the last week or so her new favorite thing is dress up, especially if it involves shoes. She's constantly bringing me skirts to put on her
 and hats of all kinds
Once she puts them on they stay on for hours and you aren't allowed to touch them
 not even if you are just trying to move them out of her eyesight
These are her favorite church shoes that she wears always with everything and around the house

She loves to dance and do somersaults

She's running now and climbing up everything and loves rides of every kind (bikes, john deere and now the 4 wheeler)
She went to nursery for the first time last week!
She has always been a picky little thing and this last month she was down to just eating cereal, milk, yogurt, peaches, pears and crackers. I finally had to get really mean and cut out all milk and only give her the favorites above once a day. I just kept offering new things and if she didn't eat, then she would have to wait for the one meal that day where she got what she wanted. FINALLY after a hard week she's eating bananas, bread pieces (has to be homemade though), bacon, and as of today chicken nuggets! She even tried some spaghetti and meatballs but spit them out. Still it was a long way from her usual (gagging when she even touched spaghetti or any new food item). She even ate some texas sheet cake so maybe she'll actually eat some of her birthday cake next year. :) Oh she's a funny girl and that's why we love her!
