6 Weeks today, and not feeling so hot

Jan. 27: Bella woke up not feeling very well. You can tell by her cry. She is a little stuffy and her eyes tired. She has been held a lot today. We hope she feels better soon, it is not fun to feel icky. Even though she hasn't felt well, she spent the afternoon giving us thankful smiles. What a wonderful girl.

Cute faces

Jan. 25: FULL of SMILES:)

Siblings

Jan. 25: Josh always has to be near Bella. He tells us that he is the ONLY one that can make her feel good if she is crying because he is her older brother. He will talk and talk to her all morning.

Dad is making silly faces again!

Jan. 24: Bella always smiles for her Daddy. Her best time of day is the morning. She prefers to be in her bouncy chair with music and she loves the hanging mirror. She likes having her own time just hanging out doing her own thing.

Five Weeks Old?!?

Jan 20th: Bella is five weeks old today! Wow, how the time flies. She is changing every day, and we are very blessed to have her in our lives. Her eyes are a very deep blue. When the outside light hits her eyes, its like looking into the deep blue sea. What a gourgeous young lady! I think today was a day of growth. She smiled a lot and interacted with us. It was very fun.

Dad, Tell me sweet nothings.

Jan 20th: Bella loves it when you say nice things to her. We tell her how gourgeous she is and how happy she makes us. She pays attention when she hears mom and dad's voice. She can pick our voices out of a crowd of people. It is amazing how much they know, so young in life.

Happy Day

Jan 20th: "You're funny dad!" Bella thinks my jokes are entertaining. She has a good sense of humor.

Adorable-est?

Jan 20th: Is adorable-est even a word? Well, it should be. We were talking to her in her seat and she was just soooo happy. She kicked her feet, moved her hands, breathed quicker, and then smiled for us. Unforgettable!

Pucker Up Butter Cup!

Jan 20th: It is so cute when she puckers up her lips and smirks. It makes your heart melt. (Notice the reddish eyebrows.)

Precious

Jan 20th: Bella is just happy, being happy. She is very content sitting in her seat with music playing. She is beginning to interact with noises. She gets excited too by kicking her feet and moving her hands.

Static Hair Day

Hey! Who has the balloon around here? After Bella bathes, her hair goes "poof." Bella has some red in her hair and her eye brows are completely red...Sooooo Cuuuttteee!

Lego Foreman

Jan. 18th: "You guys didn't know it would take that long...did you? Hehehe.

Lego Fun

Jan. 18: Josh took apart his lego police station...it took a while to put back together. Bella took over the foreman job and supervised to make sure we followed the blue prints.

4 weeks old today!

Jan. 13th: Bella is doing so great. It had been a tough past week of no sleep, and lots of crying because her stomach hurt, so we tried a new formula 3 days ago and today she is much happier, and she pooped all by herself!! What a difference. Her and I had a great time playing and talking this morning. She has started to get the idea of smiling and I caught this one on camera. She has the cutest little part on her head where her hair likes to stick up...I am going out today to buy headbands and cute bows for her hair:) I LOVE girls.

Sleeping snowman

Jan. 9th: After Bella fell asleep, I decided to join Mot and Josh and build the hugest snowman. After rolling the snowman's middle, we realized we couldn't lift it up, so we decided to make a sleeping snowman. Lots of fun.

SNOW!

Jan. 9th: Gotta love the snow. They let us out of church after 20 minutes because of all the snow. Mot came over and played with Josh outside while I held Bella up to look out the window. She love watching them.
