1/18/10-Day 10

Cuddle time with my puppy, Pearl:

1/17/10- Day 9

Working on self-feeding. Tried mashed banana again, but she really doesn't like it very much.

1/16/10- Day 8

Bella is really learning to move around the living room. She ususally plays on the blanket but on this day, she decided she wanted to travel to the other end of the living room & try watching tv.

1/15/10-Day 7

Boy, have I been slacking but I really can't tell you where the last 4 days have gone. We were lucky enough to get to spend the whole weekend together as a family, well most of it. I worked friday night but saturday morning we all went to breakfast & ran some errands. Then, I came home and slept from about 12-530. C went out that night with some guy friends for some poker, he deserved it. This is gonna be another throwback post.

This is a picture of Bella & I from the hospital. I think she was about 2 days old. Wow, how time flys & they really do grow up so fast.

1/14/10-Day 6

Today is throwback day. Bella & I were gone from the house all day today without our camera. We went grocery shopping & then came home to make dinner of Balsamic chicken & mushrooms. Before we knew it, Bella was fast asleep from a lack of naps today. Here's one of my favorite pics from my wedding day:

Day 5-1/13/10

First time sitting up independently:

1/12/10- Day 4

Bella is beoming more & more mobile by the minute. Today, I had to rush over b/c she found a piece of plastic chewed up dog toy. My heart was pounding at a million miles a minute with how close she came to having that in her mouth. I love everyone's ideas of flashback photos, so I will definitely have some of those coming up in the near future. Here is our newest picture:

She fell asleep while burying her head in the blankets. I had to move her b/c I was definitely not comfortable leaving her like that.

Here's a smiley picture for the road b/c it just makes me so happy to see that slobbery smile.

1/11/10~Day 3

I love mealtime with Bella, she's learning so much each day. She is now able to use her pincer grasp to eat her little puffs. Here are a few of our pictures from dinnertime tonight:

So hungry, I was trying to eat the container before mommy could even open it.










Feeding myself like such a big girl.










My beautiful, blue-eyed independent little lady.






We hope that everyone had a great weekend & continues to have a great week. Stay Warm!!

Day 2- Just Like Daddy

I have such a silly baby, if I do say so myself. She is just like her dad, with her off the wall faces.

Don't mind her dad's innocent face in the background, he's responsible for the paci on her head. I LOVE them so much!

PS: Most, if not all, of my pics will be of this little lady.

365 days- It's the Beginning

I decided to join the trend on my BOTB board and begin the 365 idea. So, like others I am behind and just beginning. Like the say, better late... Today, I started off with a simple picture of my gorgeous baby, Bella. Here she is playnig with her rainforest after waking up from a nap. Kind of a boring picture, but I gotta start somewhere. I can't believe she's already 7 1/2 months old. She's come so far since I started this blog. She, somehow, scoots her way around the living room, babbles like a maniac, loves her "ma" & "dadada", tries to eat Pearl's nose, and continues to grow WAY too quickly. I may not be able to update every day, but I will have makeup posts.

Thanks to anyone who reads this, now I must get back to my homemade chicken noodle soup.
