back in the sunshine state and 7 MONTHS!

so weird…one day you are leaving WI at -9 degrees and the next day you are in a swimsuit at the pool! Bella is happy just not to have layers and boots on…and to be with daddy!

Grandma let Bella take home this soccer ball, among other things and daddy will waste no time training her for soccer skills!

I am in LOVE with this season of Bella…so many new faces! giggles and smiles and noises-they just melt your heart!

This night Bella was so tired but fighting sleep for so long until finally she passed out between mommy and daddy on the couch. The picture on the right is the ''chewable'' necklace Auntie Katie got Bella…we opened it at the mailbox :) and Bella fell asleep holding it on the way back to the house. LOVE it!

Thanks to the lovely Foulds family for the Little People nativity set…Bella LOVES it!

Bella's latest things that she really enjoys doing include: pulling books out of shelves and baskets, ripping and eating paper, trying to pull herself up, crawling, rolling, running in her activity center, and trying to get things she is not supposed to have…

Bella has been an AMAZING baby! She has not been sick once yet, she is full of giggles, smiles and all sorts of amusing things ( including what they called the 'Latina yodel' in WI)- but I took the picture on the left just to show daddy one day that we do have 'bad' moments :)…but thankfully they are few and far between the GREAT ones like on the right!

Bella finally discovers and explores the mirror on the activity center….who is that BABY?! :)
