I love bath time!!!


I am trying to start up a conversation with my ducky spout cover, she doesn't as responsive as my mommy though...
...so I direct my attention back to mom, and tell her how much I love my baths, she lets me spend a good amount of time in here too My fingers get all prune'y and the water starts to get cold. But I don't really seem to mind.
Cause I love my baths! I love everything about them, bubbles, splashing, the warmth of the water, my toys, it's great fun. Who knew that getting clean would be such a blast!

~Good Morning Bright Eyes~

So, every morning, when I wake-up, I'm a great mood. You could say I'm a morning person...mom brings me in her bedroom, to watch me play, while she gets ready for work...
I entertain her by giggling, squealing, and just being a ham.

As you can see, I was really hammin it up this morning...I love mornings!

When Life hands you lemons...I ask for my binky!

My dad was cooking dinner...I was keeping a careful eye on him.
When my mom handed me different fruits to hold onto, to feel their textures and smell them...I wasn't impressed. I know bananas taste good, but lemons?
So I thought...what would any self respecting kid my age really want...?

Their binky, please, and thank you, of course. I do have manners.

~PANCHO~

My mom was bagin hunting and found this chair for $5...looks like not only was it a bargin, but the family dog, Pancho, also thinks it was a good deal. He snuggles up in their after I go to bed...Pancho better not get too comfy though, when I start crawling and walking, I'll be on the move, looking for a cute little puppy dog tail to pull~!

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin...Bink-y!

If this isn't a way to motivate me to roll over I don't know what is...
But first I have to get these legs over...
Like this...can you see the look of concentration on my face? And in the blink of an eye....

I'm on my tummy. What just happened?

...Feeling HOT HOT HOT...

So today, my friend Lily and I went on walks with our parents. It was supa dupa hot. It has been 100+ degrees for the last 3 days. So we took a quick pit stop so we could air out. As you can see by our cheeks, we were warm. All our nooks and cranies had sweat, even our sweat had sweat. Needless to say, after this, we made our way back to our homes, to be in the AC...thank goodness! We planned to walk again soon, when it wasn't 100 degrees in the shade. ;-) But it was nice to chill or rather sweat with Lily~!

Speaking of my pink bikini...

I'm starting swimming lessons, and wanted to make sure that my cute little diaper bottom was well covered, and that my suit fit just right. Don't want any boys to see anything they shouldn't. I'll be a "star fish..." I can't wait! I love the water!

...Bella's futures so bright, we have to wear shades!

I found these wicked cute infant sunglasses, and I had to make sure they fit her. She is stylin...this with her pink bathing suit, and she is made in she shade.

I'm about to perform a trick...sitting up!

6 MONTHS OLD!!! Half way to a year...and I'm cute as a bug!!!

My friend Lily came to see me...!

Here we are comparing feet size. As you know I'm 4.5 months older than Lily, but we have the same size feet..? This will be nice when we are older, we can share shoes!!!
Here I am holding Lily's hand. It's nice to know that before she was born, she had a girlfriend, me...I'm so excited. I can't wait to grow up wtih her, she is really a special friend.

Our mom's were holding us up so that you can all see, I'm sitting, but I'm taller! Hard to believe I was once that small...my mom says it seems like yesterday.
Lastly Here is my mom and I...notice my cheecks are flushed, I've been teething. I didn't really have any problems, no fever, not really cranky, but just a little warm. Sprouting little teeth is hard work. So is being this cute!

Mommy and her friend Dory...

Along with myself and my friend Francis.
We were at my mom's friends baby shower. This was in March of 2006...you can tell by how small I was, ah memories. Now mommys friend Tracey is a mommy too. And with all mom's friends having babies, I should never be short of friends.

The ladies of the house...

With me and my mom in the house, my poor daddy doesn't stand a chance.
As you can see by the look in my mom's eyes, she is ressuring me that her and I run the show! ;-) She was saying "that's right hunny, just remember, when all else fails, bat your pretty brown eyes at daddy, it melts his heart everytime."

Guess who's wrapped around my finger?

My daddy! He is the most important man in my life. He loves me no matter how poopy my diapers are, how cranky I can be, or how long of a work day he has had. He shows me every day just how special I am, and how much he loves me.

It's true what they say...there is a speical bond between a daddy and his little girl.

In my birth-day suit...sort of

My most favorite toy!

This is my gym...it's so much fun! I play with this for hours...well maybe not hours, I do get hungry, very often. But if I didn't have to eat so frequently, I could probably spend a long time playing...but then my mom and dad want to hold me, so there again...I get disrupted. Basically I get to spend about a 1/2 hour at a time playing, which isn't too bad, considering I'm only 5mo old...and my attention span is still very short.

Getting ready to crawl...

And I've found my froggy toy again...if only I could reach out and grab it!
Oh wait, I've almost got it!

As you can see...soon dad will have to install those fancy latches on the cabinets, cause I'll be crawling before he knows what hit him!

Are these all mine?

It's like a "where's Waldo," in Bella's room..."where's Bella?"


All these toys belong to me...?
For now, I'll play with the toys I can really get a hold of...this frog will do nicely!

Good Morning Baby Girl!

I love snuggling with my pink teddy blanket. It's soft and silky, and makes a nice companion at bedtime...
