Baby Ariela,

You are now 10 months old! Summertime is in full swing and your favorite thing to do is be in the water. Whether it be a pool, the ocean, or your bath you just can’t get enough of it. When Papa or I are taking a shower, you crawl up to the side of the bathtub, underneath the shower curtain, so that you can feel the spray on your face. You say “banana,” “wow-wow,” and now whenever you see something fall you say “uh-oh” and it cracks me up every time. You love pulling things out of drawers, the bookshelf, etc. You’re always trying to get to the dishwasher so you can empty that too. Pretty soon I’ll be putting you to work! Just kidding. I love you my little angel.
