Hello Everybody - String of bad luck, Weddings, Receptions and Life

Alright, Well I just want to start of by saying that I just put Arianna down for a nap and she was fed and obviously tired and crying and I sat out here while she cried herself to sleep - oh that's so hard to listen to her cry but I knew she was tired, and sure enough she fell right asleep.
Anyways just wanted to say that.
For the last 2 months there has been a lot going on in our lives, first we get married, then the honeymoon to Las Vegas, Ryan and Kat's Wedding (which was beautiful) and all the planning for the reception - which turned out to be a big hit, and now it's rest time. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to our reception and all the wonderful gifts & money we received. It's so amazing we are now ready to start planning to buy and get ready for a new home. We are really very excited. It's all coming together and I couldn't be more happy.
Secondly, my string of bad luck. First I get a speeding ticket - yes I know that's my own fault. Oops. then I lose my keys (which have everything possible on them), then on the way to Ryan and Kat's Wedding I get in a car accident :( and fault still hasn't been determined, if I stay optimistic it wont be my fault :) :) :) :), then as I finish cleaning one night I notice a flat tire on the truck, ARGH. Just had to vent about that, now hopefully my luck will change. I think it will,
now onto something happier....
Arianna is getting so big so fast, I now see what people mean when they say they grow so fast, because it's so true, I can't believe in a couple more weeks Arianna will be 5 MONTHS old, it's just absolutely crazy how time flies. We've been enjoying every minute of it, and am so excited to watch her grow. She's already so smart.
My mom does this "BIG GIRL" thing with her and puts her hands up in the air and has been doing it for awhile and Arianna has already picked it up, as soon as Nanny says BIIIIIG GIRL, Ari's hands going flying up into the air, and then gets the cutest little flirty face of excitement. I'm so proud of her.
2 weeks ago, Arianna had her shots and what a good girl she was, she cried just while the shots went in, but stopped after everything was done, and was such a little angel.
Her sleeping patterns are becoming more regular, she now goes down between 8-9 until 5:34 every morning, and wakes up and has her bottle and within half hour is back asleep comfortably until 7:30-8:30 in the morning; depending on how loud Michael is, so usually 8:30.
If she wakes up at 7:30 Michael or myself will bring her into bed with me, where we cuddle for about 45 mintues, or she will lye beside me and flail her arms about and consistently hit me in the face, lol and for a little girl she sure packs quite the punch. After cuddling and boxing, we'll sit and talk for about 20 minutes where she'll just yammer on and not let me get a word in. (kind of reminds me of me)
Also, anytime football, or baseball (eek) comes on her eyes will be glued to the screen. I was hoping for a little ballet dancer or gymnist (if height lets her) but it seems like she's going to be a star athlete, if we go by the way things seem now.
She also has two of the cutest little friends, Adelyn and Sophie. Adelyn is exactly one month older, and Sophie is 9 months. We've had a few play dates as you have probably read, and there just little sweethearts together.
Anyways, that's it for now, just a few little updates on everything.
