Bella at 8 months

 She is getting soooo big!

 Wearing her new Tom's shoes that Grammy and PaPa gave her

 Everything goes in her mouth immediately

 Being silly

 Such a ham

 My own little Vanna White

 Me?

 Why yes, I would love to crumble that sign before you throw it away...

 At eight months old, Bella is as happy as ever.  She is rolling all over the place.  She has the desire to crawl but she just kind of flails her arms and legs and goes nowhere... then decides it's easier just to roll there.  She is eating 3 meals of solid food a day and loves Baby Mum-Mums.  She was recently introduced to puffs, which she likes, but not as much as the Mum-Mums.  She is still sleeping 12 hour nights, going to sleep around 6:00.  One of her top teeth has broken through the gums and I can't tell if there is one coming in next to it... possibly! 

What sound does a Bella make?

These are some pictures from today!  Bella is doing well.  She is rolling all over the place and she's getting in a new tooth up top.    :)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today is Anthony's birthday!  Bella has something to say:

Here are some pictures and a few videos from this week!

Bella at daycare swinging for the first time.  Anne said she was a little unsure about it!

Bella has been on her tummy the last 3 or 4 mornings when I went in to get her... 

Sound asleep on her tummy.  Yes, that is drool.

This is Bella trying to imitate... 

Bella has becoming a proficient roller.  She figured out that she can roll as a method of transport now so she will roll across the floor to get to a toy (except when we try to video tape it) but still, here is a little roll.

Bella has also gotten really good at finding her binky on the floor or in her crib, orienting it the right way, and putting it back in her mouth.  :)
