Mr. Restless

The search is on for the Sleep Warrior who is someone who will help Arya sleep good through the night. As for the past month or so, it has been an adventure to get him to sleep all the way through. First with hives now with teething. Hopefully the waves will calm down and we can all get some shut-eye! Until then, my sweet little Arya is Mr. Restless.

Dogs, Puppies and Animals

Since Arya has been born we have had dogs and cats around him. He has always had a fascination for animals. Although he truly seems to love cats and dogs the most. Farm animals and birds are his second favorite. But mostly he seems to be interested in Sasha (our German Shepherd dog) and every day he likes to give her a treat or visit with her. She doesn't mind it at all and actually loves the company. The other day I caught Arya trying to do something really interesting. See this video below. I couldn't help but laugh :)

Another month passes by

It's like I snap my fingers and another month has gone by. I can't believe how fast time is flying these days. I even posted the month to month's pictures side by side because I've been too busy to post them seperate so sorry about that.



At 15 months, Arya has been starting to show a lot more of his personality. Especially of his likes and dislikes. His demands and give-ins. There are a lot of little things that I can see in him that give clues to who he will be in the future. Although I feel as though the terrible twos will creep on us sooner than later. Sometimes he has melt downs. I guess with things that he likes very much and doesn't get...this is a problem. Mainly TV and what he wants to watch. His favorites these days are Elmo's world, Barney and Curious Buddies from Nick Jr. I think they all have some good qualities but I just don't know how to get him to peel away from the tv now that he's glued to it. I've been trying other avenues like pots and pans, tag, and hide and go seek which he likes a lot too. And more trips outside the house. Hopefully he will get tired of the tube!
Here is a funny video we took of Arya. It's a long one though :)
