Communication is Key!

One of Josh and my biggest frustrations with raising a small, very strongly-willed child is the inability to communicate or understand their forms of communication. Well, we're finally starting to get this whole communication thing with a little help from our young daughter.

Aria's started waiving and jabbering more in the past few weeks. She waves at things she likes or wants to look at and people she likes. She raises both arms if she's getting frustrated with something. She calls for her "baba" when she's hungry (but only for a few seconds before the screaming begins lol) and she now says "mama" and "dada" quite clearly :) She even smacks her lips together to show she's happy and kicks her lips when she wants to put something in her mouth :)

All these little things, while very little steps, are helping us understand out daughter better. We're figuring out things she likes and dislikes, and I feel like her personality - while it has always been very present - is really starting to make sense to us. Finally lol. We're really having fun with her now and she is starting to understand us, which is always good, too. :) I can't wait till the day we can actually have conversations with her!
