Friday after work, I picked up Ariyana and we went to look for a dress for Ariyana for my sister’s wedding this weekend and for me a dress for the rehearsal dinner. I eventually found a dress for both of us and we ended up getting home at 8pm. Also my aunts and grandma came into town on Friday for the wedding. My grandma lives in NJ and has only met Ariyana once when she was 2 months old. My one aunt is from Ohio and has also met Ariyana once when she was 2 months old. And then my other aunt is from Arizona and has never met Ariyana. So of course we wanted to go see them. On Saturday we drove up to Helen and met them and my mom in Helen for an Oktoberfest parade…it was a very short parade, but we did get a good bit of candy. I made Ariyana wear shoes to the parade so she couldn’t walk in them very well, she kept falling down. I didn’t want her to skin her knee (we were standing on cement) so I put her back in the stroller. After the parade, we all went back to my mom’s house. My aunts, mom, and Ariyana all decided to go swimming in the pool. Ariyana has a car float that she loves to ride in. We put her in the pool in the car and she was just smiling and kicking her feet. Then my aunt starting running after Ariyana while my mom was pushing her around the pool. Ariyana had so much fun, she was laughing and smiling so hard….she loved it. Then after that, Zach and I went home and Ariyana stayed to spend the night.
Sunday we went back to my mom’s to visit everyone and pick up Ariyana. My two sisters also came up to see everyone. When I got there, I asked my mom how Ariyana did. She said Ariyana was a perfect angel. I was a little worried since Ariyana didn’t have a nap on Saturday, except for the car ride up there (35 min). My mom did, however, tell me that Saturday night at dinner, Ariyana was sitting in her high chair eating pieces of bananas and mashed potatoes. My mom said Ariyana started to get really sleepy and would start to doze off. Everyone else at the table would start laughing and it would wake Ariyana up….they kept laughing every time she started to doze. Then one time they looked over and she had fallen asleep in her bananas and potatoes 🙂 There was food all over Ariyana when my mom changed her for bed….poor baby, she was so exhausted. Then Sunday we all hung out and had a great time. Ariyana was really good and played with everyone. She is really walking now, she walks all over, she only crawls when she is tired or she is coming over to you so you can pick her up.
