"Talking"


Arianna loves to talk.  Here she's having a conversation with Aunt Amy.

Arianna and her Exersaucer

Don't you just love that hair!!!  Yes, it does that all by itself...and no, we can't brush it down.

Putting Her Back???

Isabella declared this weekend that Mommy and Daddy need to go back to the hospital and put
Arianna back in Mommy's belly. Hmmmm...I don't think so! Getting a 10 pound baby out was quite enough for me.

Out of the mouth of babes...

Bella says the funniest stuff these days, for example...

We've been explaining to her that Arianna doesn't have control of her arms and legs yet.  So, when Bella gets close to her, Arianna often hits or kicks her.  Yesterday, I was holding Arianna and Bella was sitting close to us.  After Arianna hit her, Bella says, "She doesn't remote control her arms yet."

Bella was talking to Uncle Jon on the phone and in her rambling she tells him, "Uncle Jim is Sasha's daddy."  Shasha is Jim's dog.

Facination With Birth

Isabella is really fascinated with how babies are born...not the technical stuff, but going to the hospital, how messy the baby is when it comes out, etc. It's, of course, because of her recent experience with my pregnancy and Arianna's birth. She loves to watch the birth-related shows on TV (in fact, we watched one this week and had to explain to her why that lady was making so much noise when the baby came out).

One of our friends, Amy, was pregnant. We had told Bella that Ms. Amy had a baby in her belly and that the baby's name was Lexi. So, at Jason's basketball game last weekend we were told that Amy had gone into the hospital in labor. When we got home I told Bella I was going to check my e-mail to see if Lexi had come out of Ms. Amy's belly yet (knowing I would get an e-mail when Lexi arrived). When I was finished, Bella climbed up in our desk chair and says, "I want to see." I asked her what it was that she wanted to see. She replied, "I want to see Lexi come out of Ms. Amy's belly." I guess she thought we'd have a video feed and she'd be able to watch like she does on TV. She was a bit disappointed when I explained, and read her the e-mail update.
