Sorry it has been such a long time since I updated the blog. The last couple of month have gone by so quick.
Ariana is now 21 month and growing very fast. She is quite the talker and loves to play and dance. She also loves to Skipe with her Grandparents.

She is now talking a lot. It is a mix of English and Spanish. She is also able to count to 5 in both language and it is starting to learn her ABCs.

So far we have been blessed and she is a very healthy girl. We are crossing our fingers so it continues during the winter.

We are getting ready for Christmas and the Holiday time. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Price Family. It was great to see everyone. Ariana had a great time.

Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la ultima vez que escribi en el blog. Los ultimos meses hemos estado bastante ocupados y han pasado tan rapido.

Ariana esta hablando bastante. Por ahora es una mezcla de Ingles y Espanol. Tambien puede contar hasta 5 en los dos idiomas y se esta aprendiendo su abecedario.

Por ahora estamos bendecidos y Ariana es una nina saludable. Esperemos que no se enferme durante el invierno.

18 months and growing/18 meses y creciendo

Ariana's 18 month appointment went really well. She is a healthy little girl. Her weight was 24 lbs and her height 32.75 inches. So she was in the 50% for weight and 65% for height.

The doctor was really please with everything she is doing developmental wise.

She is growing up to be a very opinionated but very polite girl. She always says "Thank you", "Hi" and "bye bye. By now she knows around 25 different words some in english and other in Spanish.

Wow! Its been a jam packed week of fun. Mommy was out on business for a few days this week, so I had fun at daycare and playing with Daddy after work. Daddy finally got my new tricycle out. I'm starting to learn how to ride it. It's a lot of fun, but I get frustrated with it sometimes when it won't turn the way I think it should turn. I'll teach it a lesson one of these days!

Esta semana estuvo lleno de eventos. Mi mami estubo de viaje de negocios esta semana, mientras tanto yo me diverti en la guarderia y con mi papa despues del trabajo. Papi finalmente armo mi triciclo. Yo estoy aprendiendo a usarlo. Me gusta mucho aunque a veces me frusto porque no gira hacia donde yo quiero. Ya vera quien es la jefa ese triciclo.

My daycare teachers held a family fun day this Saturday. Mommy and Daddy took me, so I could see some of my teachers over the weekend. I felt like a rock star when they put me down so I could walk around the place. Everyone started yelling my name and coming over to see me. My favorite part was the big blow up slide. I'm still not big enough to go down myself, but I had plenty of people to help.

Mis maestras de la guarderia organizaron un dia familiar este Sabado. Mi mama y papa me llevaron para que viera a mis maestras. Cuando llegue me senti como artista de novela, camine por todo lados. Todas las maestras gritaban mi nombre y me venian a ver. Lo mejor de la tarde fue el surra surra inflable. No pude hacerlo sola pero tube suficiente ayuda para surrarme.

Family Fun Day at PeaceKids

After the family fun day I went home to take a good, long nap. Then, when I woke up we went tailgating for a baseball game. Colgate sponsored a tailgate, so we played games and ate hamburgers. It was very hot, but it was a lot of fun. I got excited about watching the baseball game for oh....2 minutes. Then, I wanted to climb up and down the stairs...in and out of my seat...pretty much anything but watch the game. Mommy and Daddy decided to leave after the 2nd inning. I didn't care, b/c when we got home I got to dance in the driveway...just because. I made up this dance kind of like the M.C. Hammer dance for U Can't Touch This.

Despues del dia familiar me fui a casa y dormi por un buen rato. Cuando me levante fui a otro dia familiar esta vez del trabajo de mami. Colgate tubo un dia familiar antes del juego de beisbal. Alli comi hamburgesas. Aunque estuvo algo caliente me diverti mucho.

Very interested in the baseball game...lasted 2 minutes

Dancing in the driveway is more fun than watching baseball.

Tantrums are here/Consentida

It is official Ariana is 16th months old. She has moved into the big bath tub. She is getting better at imitating sounds. She knows a lot of animal sounds. She is learning a couple sign language signals, and she is no longer laying on mommy's lap during her good night routine. She is also starting to be a little helper when it comes to putting away her toys and our tupperware containers. What a big girl!!!

I guess with growing up also comes tantrums. She has had a few episodes starting last weekend during Mass. So far they don't last too long, but she definatley lets us know what she wants.

Overall, it is a fun age. She loves to give us kisses. Sometimes she switches back and forth giving kisses to Nathan and then me. It is the best feeling.

****************************************************

Ariana ya tiene 16 meses y ha progresado mucho. Ya se bana en la banera grande, tambien esta imitando sonidos, se sabe los sonidos de varios animales, esta aprendiendo a comunicarse por senas, y ya no tengo que mecerla para dormir. Ariana tambien esta empezando a ayudar a guardar sus juguetes y los upperware en la cocina. Como esta creciendo.

Pero al mismo tiempo tambien esta empezando la etapa de la malcreades. Ya a tendio algunos momentos donde se pone a llorar si le damos lo que pide. El fin de semana pasado tubo un episodio durante la misa. Por suerte no duran mucho tiempo, pero definitivamente nos dice que es lo que quiere.

Esta es una etapa bien divertida. A ella le gusta darnos besos. Y a veces se turna dandonos besos a primero a Nathan y luego a mi. Es super tierno.

Almost 16 months/Casi 16 meses

I know it has been a while since I updated the blog. The last couple month have gone by so fast and Ariana is quickly becoming a little girl. She is now very confident walking and trying to run as well. Her favorite hobbies are reading books, playing with balls, and being outside. Lately, dancing has been added to the list.
Another sign of Ariana growing up are her molars coming out. She has four of them almost out. They were bothering her for a week or so. Now she is getting ready to use them.
A couple weeks ago Ariana got ear tubes. So far everything is going well and she seems to be doing fine. Her follow up appointment will be in three weeks.
That is it for now. I will try to keep in touch more often.
**********************************************************
Ya se que ha pasado bastante tiempo sin escribir. Los ultimos meses han pasado bien rapido y Ariana se esta convirtiendo en una nina. Ella ya lleva tiempo caminando y esta empezando a correr. Le encanta leer libros, jugar con las bolas, y estar afuera. En los ultimos dias tambien ha empezado a bailar.
Dos semanas atras Ariana le pusieron tubos en sus oidos. Por ahora todo va muy bien y ella parece sentirse bien. Le toca ir a ver el doctor para asegurarse que todo esta bien en tres semanas.
Tambien le empezaron a salir las muelas. Ya tiene cuatro que estan casi completamente afuera. Le molestaron un poco al principio pero ya no. Ahora esta lista para empezar a usarlas.
Eso es todo por ahora. Tratare de escribir mas seguidos.

Easter/Pascua

Happy easter to everyone. We were able to spend Easter surrounded by family and had a great time. Although Ariana was sick part of the time we were still able to enjoy it. We got play with bubbles outside, see and touch a calf, and get Ariana's first hair cut in the same weekend. She was such a tropper and did not let the illness spoil the trip.
Enjoy some of the pictures from that weekend.
***************************************************************
Felices Pascuas a todos. Pudimos pasar la semana santa rodeados de familia y la pasamos muy bien. Aunque Ariana estubo enferma parte del fin de semana lo pudo disfrutar. Jugamos afuera con burbujas, pudo ver y tocar a su primer ternerito, y tambien se corto el cabello por primera ves. Ella se porto muy bien y no dejo que la enfermedad le aruinara el viaje.
Disfruten las fotos del fin de semana.

Weekend with Daddy/Fin de semana con papi

Mommy went to a festival in Austin, TX this weekend, so I stayed home with Daddy. I've been spoiling him b/c I have been a really good girl. We played with my stuffed animals, read books, and messed around outside. The weather was nice last weekend too, so Mommy and Daddy took me to a trail. Mommy and I liked looking at all the dogs, and Daddy taught me how to throw rocks in the creek. Here are a few pictures from this weekend and last weekend.
**************************************************************
Mami fue a un festival in Austin, TX este fin de semana, asi que yo me quede en casa con Papi. Yo le concenti porque me porte muy bien. Jugamos con mis peluches, leimos libros, y jugamos afuera. El clima estaba lindo el fin de semana pasado tambien, asi que papi y mami me llevaron a pasear. Mami y yo miramos a todos los perros, y papi me enseno a tirar piedras a la quebrada. Aqui hay algunas fotos el fin de semana pasado y este fin de semana.
