Excercising is tiring!

This is the same day as the last post. Bella had a hard time staying in one place and was doing lots of her baby push-ups and back scooting. she covered some pretty good ground!

She eats her wheaties

Well, she doesn't really eat wheaties yet, but rice cereal and pears seem to be delicious enough!











Her second day of doing baby push ups. (I think she has more muscle than mom!)

But Mom, I don't wanna sleep!

This is the first time we found Bella in her bed, on her stomach and happy. These first 2 pics were throught the crack in the door before she knew we were watching her.

And these, well she knew we were there to rescue her from bed and was quite happy about it.

First Food 9/15

So, one day when Bella was eating a bottle about every hour, we decided it might be a good time to let her try her first real food. I'm glad we got it on video because she definately tells stories with her facial expressions.
Now, I've started making homemade baby food for her and she's loving it. I cook the veggies or fruits, puree them, and them freeze them into little food cubes that we defrost when needed. She's trying pears this week (and loves them) and I think carrots will be next week.

Morning Person? Hmmn.

Caleb says he's a morning person... hmmn. Actually, he is, but I thought it was pretty funny when I found him like this one Sunday morning after he got up with Bella.

Roundy and Rosy

One thing I love about Bella are her cheeks. Did I just

hear you say "cherubic?" I think you just might be right.

The wind, blowing in her hair...

So, we had a 4 1/2 month photo shoot. Truth is, I bought the bow and thought it was so cute that pictures must be done. What can I say, I'm a sucker.

She's all shook up!

Bella was watching America's Got talent with Caleb and she went crazy when the Elvis impersonator came on. I don't know... maybe tall dark and handsome is her sort of thing...

Bella Meets Her Elmo

This is when Bella first met Elmo... he is now her Bff and life is much more fun. (and red, and high-pitched).

Thanks Lillemor and Bumpa!

4 Month Photo Shoot (8/26)

So. I'm trying to play catch up.

You know the saying "a day late and a dollar short" ???

Well, that would be generous for me.

But, these pics were too cute not to share, so enjoy!
