8 months

8 months have come and gone so quickly. Bella is doing so many new things now. She is babbling more and more everyday, she waves hello and goodbye...sometimes (something we are still practicing), and this week she started crawling. Now she is into everything and we must really keep our eyes on her. She got into the magazine rack the other day and was eating one.

Splash Park

While we were down south 2 weeks ago now we went to a splash park near my parents home. I thought our park was cool but this one was way cooler. Bella really liked it and I can't wait for when she is big enough to actually run around and enjoy it.

Abigail Sophia

Little Miss Abigail Sophia was born August 11. This is my cousin Joe and his wife Natalie's baby. We got the pleasure of meeting her this weekend when we were down south. Bella was so cute with her but we had to remind her a few times to do "nice, nice". Its times like this that I wish we lived closer so Bella could be close with her cousins.

Bella also got to meet Oliver

A little behind

I have gotten some complaints recently about not updating the blog. Sorry I'm a little behind. Things have been crazy but I'm back on track now. Here are a few of my favorites from the last 2 weeks.

How can you not love this little face :)

she wants to crawl so bad but she hasn't quite figured it out yet

she moves her legs but she doesn't know how to move her arms

How big is Bella?

So BIG!!!

She drives the car now

is trying out the sippy cup (don't you love how she makes herself comfy and puts her feet up, we'll have to stop that when she gets bigger)

7 Months

On Saturday Bella turned 7 months. She is growing so fast. She sits up all by herself now and will play with all her toys. When I say play, I mean she puts them all in her mouth. She is so excited about trying all her new foods. So far she likes everything she has tried. She gave Joe some problems the other day though with the peas but this morning I mixed them with some rice cereal to trick her and it worked. After she ate some mixed I gave them to her all by themselves and she ate them all! She is such a good girl :)
