A couple more from last weekend...

Last weekend, we went to a get-together at Dar & Matt's house.  Bella found a friend.  Below are some pictures of Matt & Bella.  She was super content all evening.




We went to Ann Marie Gardens last weekend for the ArtsFest.  These pics are from that trip:


The mobiles were her favorite exhibit...

This weekend, Bella may have her first trip to the mall.  It's supposed to be rainy and stormy all weekend so it looks like we'll be staying indoors!

Happy 3 months, Bella!

Bella is ready for Steeler Sunday.

Some babies suck their thumbs.  Bella has found her pointer finger.... much to mommy's dismay.  

Playtime!


Hanging out

For those that say Bella is always smiling.... I wanted to show that she is your typical baby.... not always smiling!

New trick:  Likes to hold things in her hands to analyze them

New trick:  Sitting up in the bumbo chair!  We tried it a month ago but she kept falling over.  Now she can hold her head straight enough to do it!

A new view of the world.

It's 8:30 and I'm writing this from my bed.  Bella's sleeping.  After this post, we're going to bed, too.  :)

Bella is 3 months old!

We did her 3 month photos a day early.  She is usually cheeriest in the morning and on a Monday, I never know what will happen so it was easier to get them done today while she was in a good mood!

She has been sleeping especially well recently.... 8-10 hours at a time.  Last night she slept for 10 straight hours which might be one reason why she is so cheery here.

My how the time flies.....

Bella's Bath Pt. 3

Last one!

Bella's Bath Pt. 2

Here's another....

Bella's Bath Pt. 1

We (okay... *I*) might have gotten carried away with taking bathtime videos..... she just loves baths...  Here's one:




Good Morning, Bella!

This is what I get to see every morning.  Aren't I lucky?


(Ignore the room darkening curtains I haphazardly threw up.... her room was too bright for her evening nap....)

More pictures from the past week...

Grammy came to visit.

Crumpet needs some love too.

Smiling at Grammy

Bella is wearing one of Anthony's shirts from when he was a baby.

That glow worm is so fun.

Not sure who fell asleep first...

Zonked.

Silly glow worm.

Sleeping baby

Daddy soothes a fussy Bella

Watching Dad make funny faces at Starbucks

Looking at Mom take my picture

Wide-eyed!  I think they are turning a little more brown every day....

Bella will be 12 weeks old tomorrow....

Visitors!

These are some pictures that Grammy sent from this weekend.  Grammy, PaPa, Corey & Lauren came to visit on Saturday.  I'll have more once I download the pictures from my camera too... 

Bella likes to see the fireworks on the iPad.

Sleeping Bella (on a sleeping PaPa)

Bella watches her glow worm light up and sing.

Bella is now 11 weeks old!  She is much more slobbery these days. :)  She also is grasping things tighter and following lots of action with her eyes.  She is sleeping really good at night and taking nice naps during the daytime.  Now that we are both working, we are thankful she has been sleeping through the night for the most part, usually waking once to eat.  She is no longer a bobblehead and can hold her head pretty steady for longer periods of time.  She definitely looks bigger everyday...
