A very fun fall

Of course so much is changing with my sweet Ara Belle all the time. She is really starting to giggle more and more. I love hearing her sweet voice, it's so feminine and girly. :-) Her favorite past time is gnawing on her hands and fists and drolling. She also loves to see mom and dad up close, smile, say silly things and sing songs. She'll smile all day long at "mamamamamama and dadadadadadada..."
We've had a great fall so far. We've gone to the pumpkin patch with cousin Addie, Jessica and Andrew. Visited the beach, gone to Oma's and Grandpa's house. She had her first overnight with Dad only, while mom had a girls night at the beach. (Harder for me than her, I'm sure). In a few days she'll have her first dress up for Halloween!!!!
She is grabbing things in her gym and starting to be able to grab and hold on to her pacifier. Huge milestones in baby world. When we lay her down for tummy time her legs go crazy and I can tell she will be on the move soon. She's rolled over twice- nothing very consistent but she is getting very strong.
She is growing so much and every second is bitter sweet. I love seeing her change it to a beautiful little girl but I am quickly realizing that she is not going to fit in my arms forever. How hard it will be someday when I realize I am no longer her favorite person. :-( Not going to think about that now and just enjoy the fact that in Ara's eyes, Mom and Dad are very popular people.

"Hmmm, another picture?!"
