Back To Blogging

I had started a blog almost a year ago to chronicle the life of our daughter, Aria. After a few months,  I thought it might be pointless to keep. The longer I thought about it, the more I realized that I would one day enjoy looking at certain parts in our little family's life and begin to "wonder what was going on then". So, here I am beginning again about my life with Loker.

Last night I sat with Aria in the living room while Nate was off at one of his senior photo sessions. As much as I hate when he's gone, it gives Aria and I some good mama and daughter bonding time. I sat on the floor watching her play with her toys, then looking down at my phone to see the latest Instagram photos and here she comes; standing next to me, arm around my neck and snacking on her Cheerios as she looks to see what's on my phone. Those little moments just make me smile.

Aria is very much a goofy girl. She loves eating Cheerios off the floor by bending over and picking them up with her mouth, -Mom of the Year Award Winner-she runs as fast as she can into the couch and she is now able to do a front roll (taught by the bending for Cheerios I'm guessing); This girl just amazes me. She began walking at seven and a half months and although it was shocking to a lot of people, it wasn't for us. She is a very determined child. I think its more so the stubbornness from Nate and the impatient-ness (is that a word?) from me that makes her that way. 


We are now entering her birth month and I can not believe that time has flown by so quickly. I'll save my sob story of how great it was to become a mom but, all I know is, I'm so thankful that this is the life God let me live.

(When Daddy comes home, Aria gets really excited)
