9 months continued

Some more pics of Bella at 9 months:

This morning, cuddling with Anthony...

Getting right to work on her Easter basket... She got it early since it contained some toys to keep her happy on the plane...

Cool, a light up magic wand...

She went back and forth between all the toys and eggs...

She kept looking for more...

This was the other morning.  She can't get up on her own, but once if you stand her up, she is pretty stable!  She stood there for a few minutes and then fussed that she was "stuck" and couldn't get down!  :)  

At 9 months, Bella is:

-standing up when supported

-enjoying snacks like puffs and mum-mums

-not crawling, but has not trouble getting to wherever she wants to go (mostly rolling...)

-still sleeping 11-12 hour nights consistently

-taking her first plane ride for spring break to Florida

-quite the little drama queen when doesn't get what she wants immediately

-possibly getting in her 5th tooth... it certainly seems like she is teething again!

-finishing her first round of antibiotics for an ear infection & sinus infection

9 month stats to be determined... her well-visit was delayed due to her illness. :)

Some pictures from my day off with Bella

This was yesterday when Anthony came home from work.

These pictures are from today.  Our daycare provider was off today so I stayed home with Bella.  We had way more fun then I would had at school.  Here are some pictures of our day.

Showing off her two front teeth

Smiley and happy, as usual

I made her try on some bathing suits so I know what to pack for our upcoming trip.  It looks like she is thinking "What on earth am I wearing, mom?"

Trying on more stuff!

She got a very nice Easter basket from Grammy & PaPa in the mail today.  Here is is trying on her new hat.

Just a couple...

Watching Baby Signing Time - She LOVES it!

Bella after her doctor's appointment on Tuesday... not feeling well at all!

Feeling better here, but still sleepy!

Always has a leg in the air...

And sometimes the foot has a ring on it... 

Didn't get to take many pictures this weekend!  Dreary and rainy so we just stayed in... We are getting ready for our spring break trip to Florida though so I'm sure there will be plenty after that!

More recent pictures!

9 month photos

It is so hard to get a picture of Bella sitting still.  I posted some extra pictures so you could see how "all over the place" she is!  

Oh photos again!

hamming it up

Oh there's a sign back here?

Bella's natural state:  one hand on her foot, one hand in her mouth

*shriek*

Blur

Oh, look, it's daddy!

*excited sounds*

Mommy's clapping?  Yay!

Sitting pretty

MMmmmm!

Daddy's making me laugh...

Smiling at my dolly

A Bella Update

Long time, no post!  It's been busy around here!  We've all been sick and we're trying to stay caught up with life.  Here are some recent picture though...

Bella is starting to stand up with support.

Showing off her new St. Patrick's Day outfit from Marti & Bob:

We also got her to mimic a clap this week.  She is hesitant to do it again though, but we're trying to videotape it.
