Hi

Gramma but it sounds like Ama

I am working on Blowing kisses and saying Aunty/Ti Ti

She loves practicing walking and standing. Her balance has definitely improved!
She really is the Princess of Cute! She just makes us smile and laugh so much everyday!
Her two front teeth are slowly cutting through. We can just see two little white slits starting to show. Daddy says all she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth...her two front teeth!!
Bella LOVES music. Especially my singing!! I knew I was a good singer! ha,ha  ;) She will hum to the song we are singing and even bounces to the beat and shakes her hand back and forth. Maybe she will be an awesome salsa dancer! She is going to love all her new toys she is getting for Christmas! I just ordered her first Christmas stocking from Pottery Barn!! Love it!! We Love you Bella and all your cute ways!

Going through Mommy's baby bag...anything for those teeth!

9 Months Old!

Bella turned 9 months old on Sunday! We went to her Doctors today and she is 20lbs and 28.5 inches!! Her growth and development are right an track and have stayed consistent for these past 9 months. She is in the 75th to 90th percentile for her weight and height! She is still a tall girl! She is pulling her self up any chance she can get. She holds on to the couch, her play table, baskets, us.... She would rather be standing than sitting. We get to introduce her to more table foods now that she is 9 months! Even oatmeal and eggs for breakfast and we get to start her slowly on Vitamin D milk in a sippy cup! That will be nice since she is currently on the most expensive formula out there! I hope she likes the milk! We are going on our family cruise on the 28th!! Yay! Junior and I are getting so excited!! We can't wait to relax and enjoy playing with Bella. I know she is going to LOVE the kids pool! Our ship Liberty of the Seas has an awesome kids zone. Bella can splash and play. We got a new waterproof video camera and I will be sure to get some good shots of Bella Boo! Carly was here last week for a wedding she was in. We did an early Thanksgiving last Sunday. It was a short visit but nice to see Carly and for her to see Bella! My Dad and his girlfriend Val were here last week for a visit too! They got to see Bella and took us out for Dinner. It was a busy week but nice to see everyone! I guess I was bad about the picture taking because I don't have any shots with them. Carly you will have to send me pics of you can Bella off your camera. Oh, and Junior I want more pics of me and Bella!! How come the Mom is always the one behind the camera!

Funny Face!

Off to Halmarks Holiday Open House! It was Cold that Morning!!

October Fun!!



Our Little Pumpkin

We had a fun October! We went to our local pumpkin patch and picked out Pumpkins. Bella enjoyed using them as a chew toy too! Daddy and Mommy carved the pumpkins while Bella watched from her high chair. She got to feel and touch the sticky insides. She didn't like the feel of the pumpkin to much. She made funny faces at it. We dressed her up as Minnie Mouse for Halloween! Bella looked Sooo cute and even kept her ears on the whole time! I wore a Minnie Mouse Shirt and Junior wore a Mickey shirt to go with the theme. She went trick or treating to both of her Grandparents houses. Then Gramma and Grampa came over for dinner and we passed out Candy to the neighborhood kids. It was a fun time! Aunty Carly Flys in on Saturday and we are having an early Thanksgiving on Sunday while she is here. I am cooking at my house. I love the holidays especially now that we have
 Bella Boo! She makes everything so much more fun!!
