I have a tooth!!



May 22, 2011: Bella grabbed my hand saturday night and put it in her mouth, and it hurt! She cut her first tooth! That explains why this past week she has been up so much at night. Brien tried to get her to open her mouth so we could get a picture of it, but she does not like it. This is the best we have so far, but we will take a picture when she is sleeping:)

2 peas in a pod

May 22nd: Right before this picture was taken, Josh had been making Bella laugh so hard for about 10 mintues. These two are quite the duo. They have so much fun together.

Got Style?

I DID IT!

4/25/11: Bella learned how to roll over Easter Sunday in the evening. It was so exciting. I love that you can find so much happieness in small pleasures. This video is the day after. This is about her 3rd time rolling over. Since this, she has really gotten the hang of it and rolls over when I try to change her diaper, clothes, or feed her. She loves to roll over on her tummy. It is always to the left, but today she has started leaning on the right. Her personality is really coming out. She gets excited, happy, and then tired and frustrated, but she doesn't give up. She is just a joy to have in our family.

Sillyness



4/22/11: It is so funny, everytime I tell Josh to smile he has to make silly faces. There is no "normal" smile. I remember that stage when I was little. I don't know if we ever grow out of it. Josh had fun at the mall too.



Dad, Bella, and the Mall



4/22/11: It was much easier for Brien to enjoy the mall since he had Bella and a stroller to push. It was nice not to have to rush and enjoy the time together....(Brien does not like to shop)

Fun at the Mall

4/22/11: Thanks for the cute outfit aunt Tia! I adore my kids. They are easy to love.





























Sibling fun over breakfast



4/21/11: Josh would tap Bella's toy on the table and she would laugh, throw her arms up, and scream in excitement. It was so much fun to watch. Bella adores Josh and Josh adores Bella. I love all of it:)



You are funny!



04/21/11

Josh was bouncing the table with his ball, and Bella thought that was so funny. She would laugh, wave her arms, and scream in excitement every time he did it. Bella loves Josh and I love these moments.

Belly and Jelly

"Belly" either spits out her binky or rips it out with her hand. Either way, she loved spending time with Kevin and Jelly.

I'm hungry!

Bella loves putting things in her mouth and chewing on things. Bella is showing Kevin and Jelly how good she is at it.

Looking up

As a good friend of mine says: "I look up to you." Bella is so cute here looking up at the camera.

Look at the Eyes!



05/01/11

Even though the flash was excessive, it sure does highlight her amazingly blue eyes.

Hehehe!



05/01/11

Bella is a smiley girl, but it was short lived. She was tired by the end of the day, but we got a few more smiles out of her.

Hi guys!



05/01/11

Bella was dress in this dress that I bought for our future baby girl over three years ago. She was meant to wear it! She is so beautiful. She is soooo nice too.

Last Picture!



04/30/11

This was the last picture taken of the family at the field because a Sheriff came rolling up in his car tapping his siren and turning on his lights near our car. Turns out we were parked in a no parking zone so we had to run to our car before he could give us a ticket. As we approached the car, he looked at us and said "You're moving your car right?" "Yes sir" we replied. (I've known him for three years)

These are Beautiful!



04/30/11

Bella was fascinated by the way that the tulip petals opened up. She loved reaching out for them and touching the petals.

Out in the Tulip Fields!

We went out to the tulip fields and it was a gourgeous day. Bella looks fantastic next to the yellow tulips.
