Here comes Peter Cottontail

We took Bella to meet the Easter Bunny last night. She did great and didn't cry at all. I'm sure next year will be a different story though.


Aunt T had her own Easter photo shoot with Bella yesterday and surprised me when I got home from work with this cute pic. It looks like she is sitting inside an egg

Easter fun

We had some early easter fun taking pics of Bella around my parents house down south.

Here she is with the blow up bunny out front their home


and with her bunny ears on Papa's lap

Summer Clothes

Bella is finally starting to out grow some of her newborn clothes and is beginning to fit in her 0-3 just in time for summer. Here are some pics of her new fashions.



She loved this outfit until....


we put the hat on


and we couldn't forget her sunglasses

Visiting South Florida

I go back to work this week so we went for another visit down south before life gets crazy again. We drove down Saturday morning and came back Sunday evening. It was short and I think everyone wished it could have been longer. Here are a few pics...

The girls

This is her mean, tough face. She's intimidating isn't she?

Look at her cheeks!!

Our Little Leprechaun

Happy St. Patty's Day! Nana and Aunt T both bought Bella shirts to wear today so we took turns and she wore Nana's "Sham Rocker" for the first part of the day and Aunt T's "Lucky Charm" shirt the second half. Here are a few pics from her first St. Patty's Day.

How cute are they

Station 47

Saturday I took Bella to the fire station for the first time to visit daddy. She was a big hit. We mostly hung out in the kitchen while Courtney held Bella and fed her. I wanted to take pics of Bella near the trucks but right as we were getting ready to do so they got a call and the fire truck had to leave and so did Joe.

Courtney and Bells


Good picture because everyone was in it but you cant really see Bells


Mike, Courtney and CJ


After the truck and Joe left I managed to sit Bells up on the bumper of the rescue and took a picture. She actually started smiling when I was taking her pic.

Our little lady...

BUG!

Some pics from the last week

When my mom was here last month she bought Bella a Bumbo seat which allows a baby who can't sit up yet, sit up. She looks like a big girl here. What happened to my little girl


Bella doing tummy time to help strengthen her neck and look how good she does


One of my favorite things to do is flip around You Tube on the computer and sing songs to Bella. She loves it too. She will sit on my lap for atleast an hour almost daily while I sing to her. We sing everything from Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Michael Buble, and other different artists.

Then after we sing we take a nap

sitting all big in her boppy pillow

I Love Chocolate!!

but I wasn't to impressed by the Chocolate Festival we went to yesterday. It was held at the Orlando Science Center and it just wasn't a big enough space for something so big. When we arrived in the afternoon just about everything was already shut down so we missed all the demonstrations and contests. We will now know better for next year :)

2 months

Our baby is 8 weeks and 4 days old. Time really does fly when your having fun. Bella gets bigger and bigger everyday and we really enjoy watching her change. We are sad at the same time though because it has been going by so fast. I go back to work March 23rd and I'm really not looking forward to it. Here are a few pics from the last 2 weeks.


So since there aren't 31 days in every month I decided I will just take her monthly pic on the last day of the month to document her changes.


Before Bella was born we received some "hand me downs" from her cousins Clark and Dexter and these PJs are one of them. They have cute little mice on them.

We put Bella in her high chair for the first time a few nights ago while we were eating dinner and she really liked being at eye level with us instead of being on the floor in her bouncy seat.
