What a weekend!

Bella had quite the eventful weekend! On Saturday, we headed (in our brand new big girl convertible carseat!) to North Richland Hills for Tracy & Chad's Baby Bash BBQ. There, Bella got to play with her friends Grayson, LD & Catie. Here are some pictures from that:

Bella loves to swing!

On Sunday, we went to the baby naming for Bella's new friend, Alexa. There, she got to play with her friends Edie and Shane. Here are a few pictures from that:

Bella has gotten so big!

Crawling...what??

Today when I dropped Bella off at daycare, Manju (or Auntie as all the kids call her) told me that Bella sure crawls fast. I turned to her and said, "What? Bella doesn't crawl yet!" She responded, "Oh yes she does!" I then turned to look at Bella, who had army crawled her way across the floor. It turns out she does in fact move pretty fast! She does not get on her knees, but scooches along amazingly fast. Jay and I are going to redo the living room layout tonight to create more room for her to move around.

Anyways...it has been a while since the last update and a lot has happened!

Last week, on Thursday we had a doctor's appointment to check her ears since her last ear infection. The doctor said she is all clear! She weighed 18 pounds but has grown in length...tall and skinny! That night, we were able to meet up with Tina and Catie for dinner. Bella was not in the most social mood, so there was not much interaction there! On Friday, we went to Watauga to hang out with her friends Grayson and LD and then we all went to meet baby Briley. Bella has so many new friends! We also can't wait to meet the 2 other friends born last week, Isaac & Henry!

Sunday was Father's Day and Bella and I went to cheer Jay on at his softball game. She was the hit of the dugout! Grandy and Grandpa came up for lunch and to spend the afternoon with Bella. As you can see, they wore each other out!

We have an exciting couple of days coming up...Thursday is Henry Litt's bris, Saturday is a BBQ at the Sones' and Sunday is Alexa's baby naming. I am sure we will have more pictures to share next week!

Summer Fun!

We bought Bella a baby pool, which she absolutely adores! The first time she was in it, we couldn't get her out for 45 minutes! She will be a water baby for sure. This week, we also had a playdate at the park with Bella's new friends Elana & Shoshana. She loved the swings and we are looking forward to spending more time with them!

This weekend, we went to Bridgeport for the annual Singleton Family Reunion. She spent some time with her cousin Jonathan, who 3 months old. Bella spent the night with Grandpa & Grandy. Here are some pictures from that as well as a some from her trip to Bridgeport a few weeks ago.


She is eight months old this week and is growing leaps and bounds! She is on the brink of crawling. She gets up on her knees but hasn't yet figured out what to do next. We are expecting it to happen any day now!

Take me out to the ball game...

Bella had a really fun weekend. On Friday, she and Daddy went to Bridgeport to visit her great-grandmother Meem on her birthday.

On Saturday night, she had a slumber party at Aunt Bess's house. They hung out, played, and made new bows for Bella's hair.

On Sunday, Bella went to her first baseball game. She had fun watching all of the people and clapping when everyone else did. It was very hot and Bella was a total trooper!

Some new things...Bella is officially saying blah and Dada. We are not sure if she knows what she is saying, but it sure makes Daddy happy! She also likes to stand up while holding on to things, like the couch or ottoman. She has started eating lots of new foods and really loves all fruits. Her favorite things are the puff cereals. She could eat a whole box if I let her!

Bella also welcomed two new friends this week! Congratulations to Michelle & Stephen on the birth of Alexa Paige and Trish & David on the birth of David Lee Jr.

More to come soon!

Love,
