hello AUGUST

happy AUGUST! here in FL it's 'back to school' time! it is crazy HOT and this is about the time when you live here that you wish winter would come faster! (except for the crazy snow birds to invade town)

so its catch up time once again…..heres an explosion of pictures of our little Gomez familia:


Bella still LOVES to look at herself in the mirror…anytime something new is on she runs right over to the full length mirror….mommy also loves when she falls asleep on car rides!!!!

Fun at Lakes Park, ft myers

Daddy started giving Bella foot massages and she now holds her legs/feet in the air until he begins…and let me tell you….she doesn't like when he is done! Must be NICE :)

Oh my goodness, the cuteness of these boots from Auntie Loni!!! So adorable...

 Bella's first earphone/music experience! 

 Trip to Miami: finally got to meet the beautiful Camilla! Bella's cousin! Auntie Imara spoiled Bella by going out to get her 3 new pair of shoes!  and she spoiled mommy & daddy by giving them both facials! My first one EVER!

 

I got free passes to visit the Childrens Museum of Naples! Was so MUCH fun….Bella did not want to leave…was very impressed with all the cool things in there that make your imagination go crazy! Indoor and outdoor activities- so great! Bella also had her first Chili's experience that afternoon with her first sip of chocolate milk!

and the next day (early AM) daddy was off to Nicaragua and mom decided last minute to book a ticket for her and Bella to leave as well- to go be with family in WI…

plans for mommy & Bella didn't go so great in the beginning, but in the end we had a FREE night in Detroit but a VERY exhausted baby after we missed our connection due to being stuck on FT Myers runway for almost 2 hrs.  All in all I was again SO PROUD of Bella as this was her 4th flight to WI! Always a GREAT time….and so hard to leave...

Bella had no trouble whatsoever remembering grandpa and grandma or the house, or the dogs, or the swing…she went right at it! Like a PRO

Bella's FIRST ponytail -compliments of Hannah Sankey :)

Lots of cousin time again…with Sankeys and Richards….LOVED it! Bella and Myles had lots of fun, although hit each other several times in the process :)

A picture to tease Alvaro- eating Unlce Dave's pickles!!! We even got a playdate with Jody and her adorable kids- Elliot and Finn! Sad I didn't get more pictures….

This trip Bella was more interested in the big swing and swinging with mommy…I didn't mind! :) Love the flowers at mom & dad's. Bella LOVED her time outside and was always looking for grandpa! She still loved to feed the dogs and this trip she couldn't get enough of the ATV!

Full house the last night as grandma had the Richards kids, Hannah and Bella and I….Bella in her big girl bed with her 'baby'….and a play area at Detroit airport for our 3 hr layover.

….and back home to daddy!
