Standing

My little Love Bug decided to start standing! I love her determination.

She wants so much to be a big girl. She tries to dance while standing, but she doesn't quite have the balance for it. It's just a matter of time before she takes off running.

We have been taking her to the pool, and she loves it. She has a little floaty boat that she likes to play in. She even likes "jumping" from the edge of the pool to Daddy. She has such a brave and playful personality.

We are getting ready to go on our vacation on Friday. Unfortunately, Jamie isn't able to come along. Bella and I are going to try our best to have a good time anyway. :) We are very excited to see some family and just relax for a few days.

This Weekend

For anyone who has not heard, Jamie was officially promoted at work. He started his new position on Monday. We are very excited and I am so proud of him. He works hard and does everything he can to take care of his family.

This weekend was Bella's first time at the pool. We bought her a new swim suit and lots of sunscreen.

She had such a good time, and is already more tan than me. I don't know how it happened, she was wearing SPF 50. Good genes I guess. She also took pictures for Jeannie. Jeannie makes hats, headbands and lots of things and sometimes uses Bella as a model.

Jeannie makes such awesome stuff.

Bella now has two teeth and is eating anything she can get her hands on. Most of the time, it's my food...lol. She is starting to wave and is desperate to walk. It's so funny how self sufficient she wants to be. Yet, she still wants someone close by her. On a slightly more silly note, apparently Bella is taking after Jamie and is becoming a Jedi. She is so sweet and funny. I am the luckiest mom in the world.

In a few weeks, Bella and I are meeting up with some family for a little reunion. It's going to be nice to get out of town for a few days and just relax. I can't wait for everyone to meet her.

Such a Funny Kid

Bella loves looking at her picture on my phone. Whenever she sees it, she laughs and talks to it. When it turns off, she leans in really close like she is trying to find the baby in the phone. It cracks me up. You can tell she is really looking for the other baby. I just love all of the cute things she does. She also loves to stand up, then bend down to pick stuff up off of the floor. She will throw things on the floor just so she can get them again. I wish I was so easily entertained. The best part of my day is coming home and playing with my Baby Love. I am so ready to stay home so I can spend more time with her.
