Milestones

A frustrated Bella trying to get off her Princess Car

"Ah Mom, not liking the hat"

Pouting because MOm said "NO".

"Ok Mom, I will leave it on if we go for a walk"

This is also a new trick for Bella, if she does not want to eat her food, she puts it on top of her head. Silly girl.

Oh my....2 weeks goes by quickly. I apologize for not updating sooner. All is well, busy. It's fall, and our family is getting ready for Halloween! We by no means "celebrate" this holiday, but we do have FUN with it. We go all out for a Halloween Bash, Dance Floor included.

Bella girl is growing much to quickly for her Mama. She is saying many words, "bye-bye, Hi, Mama (this one is said non-stop all day long), Dada, Nay-Nay (Natey), baw (ball), boo (book), and mmmmmm for (moo). She is crawling up and down stairs, and over the weekend, she took 4 steps several times. Her newest and greatest trick....holding her breath when crying. She scared me, I have never seen a child do this before. She lets out this huge initial cry and then holds it and does not catch her breath. She goes limp, throws her head back and rolls her eyes. Fortunately for me, she has not past out yet and I am believing she never will. Not a trick I am fond of, but entertaining none the less. She loves books, she is not a big eater but sure looks like it, she has only about 8 solid foods she likes to eat, and not one of them is a vegetable. She has the sweetest personality, very snuggly, very attached to Mama, she would prefer being held all day rather than moving around. She gives kisses, rarely when asked, but as a sign of affection. Often, I will just be watching her play and she comes over to me and say's "Mama" and leans in to kiss me. Be still my heart. Daddy gets a shoulder snuggle, pat on the back and kiss every night when he comes home. She is not too fond of her brothers right now, clingy to Mom and Dad. The boys are handling it really well, but it breaks my heart. I know it will pass, but she has adored them and the boys adore her...almost too much. She dislikes her car seat, but loves her pink car. She seems to be growing like a weed, again, not ready for her to get big. She is totally using a sippy cup, but this Mama and baby still enjoy snuggle time at night with a bottle. She melts our hearts with the sweetest smile and the biggest brown eyes. We love this little girl with all our heart and praise God always for his perfect plan of all our children.
