New Teeth ~ Another New Cousin

Ari finally has two teeth on the bottom coming in. They just broke through over the weekend. She also got a new baby niece over the weekend, my other sister had her baby. My two sisters and I now each have girls within a year of each other. I'm trying to think of a name for the three of them, "Threes Musketeers, Three Chipmunks, ....." I can't wait to see them grow up and develop their relationships.

I stopped giving Ari cows milk, as I kept hearing and reading about the negative affects of milk. However, it's very important that kids her age get fat for brain development, so she's on flax seed but will be changing over to fish oil for that healthy fat. She's been sleeping through the night and I don't know if it's because of no more milk or it just happened at the same time. I've been on a health kick, so I'm glad she's finally getting her teeth so she can eat more.

She's still not walking and I've been getting anxious about that; although I know I should not be. She's trying and still doing therapy. Her therapist says she will be walking very soon, but she's been saying that for about 2 months now. I know I need to trust God in this too.

She's been very healthy and I'm praying it stays that way. Two weeks before her last two surgeries she got a cold, hopefully this time she'll stay health. (Maybe it was the milk that cause her to develop these colds often...we'll see.)

She loves her sister Aliyah. Aliyah loves to hold her and be with her and that's the only name she says recently. She calls her Ayia. She calls me and most women "Mom" but she says it with such demand for attention. It's pretty funny. She loves to hold fingers when she's going to sleep.

We are just enjoying her so much!
