Happy 2nd Birthday Aria!

Happy birthday, my not-so-baby girl!  And now the terrible two's can officially start (although they've been going on for several months already).  We celebrated with a joint party on Saturday, a BBQ in my dear friend Sherry's backyard.  Delicious food, messy cupcakes, and lots of friends.  Aria got spoiled with presents.  And then Nana was in town this week, and she got spoiled even more!  I think we've got enough Tinkerbell dolls to last us for a while.  For her actual birthday she kept quoting Tangled, "Best. Day. Ever!"

Our darling girl is three feet tall (between 36 and 37 inches), and weighs about 35 pounds.  I looked at several height predictors online and they say she'll be around 5'8" or 5'9".  Aaron is convinced she'll be taller than that, but only time will tell.

As her name suggests, Aria loves to sing (and dance).  Her current favorite songs include Wheels on the Bus and Smiles (if you chance to meet a frown).  She enjoys drawing - our walls have been graced with a pencil mural for the first time, her feet/arms are often covered with ink pen, and the screen door is colorful with chalk.  Swimming, sandboxes, and sprinklers, my girl is not afraid to get wet or dirty.
