Happy Halloween!!

Is that not the scariest lady bug you've ever seen?

This past week and a half has been a busy one. Here are a few pics of what we have been up to.

Our mini little boxer

Aunt T had bought her little pink converse sneakers

How cute are these

Bella had a little play date last week with the neighbor 2 doors down, Ryan. Ryan is only 2 weeks older than Bella.

She's watching him and thinking I want my toy back

Now he is saying, "I got my eye on you"

This was Bella this morning when she got up. Talk about bed head!

Pumpkin Patch

My parents came up this weekend because they asked to take Bella to her first pumpkin patch. As a kid we went to a patch every year and then carved what we picked out in the garage with dad. That is just one of the great holiday memories I have that my parents gave me, that I want to give to Bella.

I found a great place on the internet that was right around the corner from the house. This may be our new patch to come back to each year. It was called Painted Oaks Academy which is a horse stable.

She thought this was a cool chair with the help of Nana.

Where's Bella??

Riding the tractor

This is how gorgeous the day was today, not a cloud in the sky

Stats!

Bella had her 9 month appointment last week. She is now 18 lbs. 6 oz. She is 26 1/2 inches long. She has pretty much caught up in the weight department but she is short like her mommy :)

I took her a few weeks ago to get some pictures taken while Joe was at school. Here are a few of the pics. The rest you must wait until Halloween to see. We got some pics with her costume.

Typical Bella with her tongue out

Happy 9 months!

I never imagined that 9 months would come so quickly. We are already planning the 1st birthday party. Save the date of January 9th, 2011.

Hello Cupcake!!

So Joe's cousin, Renee has her own cupcake business called, Hello Cupcake. She invited Bella and I over yesterday to assist in making some cupcakes for a tasting she had today for a upcoming wedding in November. Bella was a big help :) I apologize for the quality of the photos I took them with my cell phone.

She thought it tasted great!!
