Ariana's Corner

Wow what a busy weekend for Ariana. At Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday she started holding her sippy cup all by herself. Then on Monday with a little encouragement from Uncle Greg she started holding her bottle all by herself. Who would have known that if we just sit her in her chair and put the bottle in her lap that she would hold it all by herself. We had tried many times before to put her hands on the bottle to hold her bottle, but she was smart. She knew that we would hold it for her. So over the last few days she has been getting better at holding her bottle with a little help from mommy and daddy.

Also on Sunday she started clapping her hands for the very first time. At first it was very delicate and it could have almost been coincidence that her hands landed in the proper position, but before long you could tell she knew what she was doing and she is doing it a lot more now and sometimes you can even get her to do it by asking her although it's usually only whenever she feels like it.
