Just some pictures

OK. I keep not doing a post because I can't find time to say all that there is to say. (This is very silly, I know.) So, I won't try. I'll just put up some pictures. And maybe say a thing or two, but if I run out of time, I'll hit the "publish post" button before running off, so if there's a rough ending, this is why.

In case any of you are worried, we're doing great. Busy. Parenting a 14 month old is like this, I hear. Full of adventures. And things to figure out and arrange and take care of and in between there's work and groceries and such.

Aria is healthy and happy and learning like crazy. She's a walking, talking (some), signing (a lot) human being with lots of needs and thoughts and demands and ideas. It's pretty fun. And exhausting.

I can throw in a couple of picture explanations before I run off.

This was at Aria's birthday party, more than two months ago now. Aria and Grandma working on learning more about each other...


This is old, but it was just given to me and I couldn't resist putting it up. This was taken at Bob and Dwayne's wedding in November, when Aria was just 5 months old.


Baths are fun.

This was taken in Sonoma on the fourth of July, when Ethan, Aria and I had come to hear our mother (Aria's Nana) sing.


Fussy, messy baby...

More birthday party pictures. Many lovely people came. We got lots of pictures of the backs of their heads.



Aria and Jessica (evidenced by the cute orange sneaker) and I had a little picnic a few weeks ago. The sun was bright and Aria borrowed Jessica's shades.



She has taken recently to sitting in the glider. Chillin...


Cat toy? What cat toy? I just see a "ba!" that makes cool noises when I shake it around.


I just had to throw this one in. Ethan and Victoria worked hard to transform my back yard into a lovely play space. It really is. I won't hold this post up waiting for pictures of how lovely it is, but I'll put them up soon.


And publishing...
