18 months already??

Bella turned 18 months last week and had her doctor appointment today. She weighed in at 21.5 pounds (in the 10th percentile) and is 31 inches tall (25th percentile). She is on the small side, but Dr. D said she is looking great.

She was a total trooper with her iron test and vaccinations. There were a few tears, but a Dora sticker cheered her up quickly.

Last month, Bella had her 18 month pictures taken by Mindi Sue. They came out great as usual. Check them out at http://mindisuephotos.com/. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click on the box labeled Bella-18 months. The password is patsy2. Let us know what you think!

Smile for the camera!

Bella has become such a fan of the camera. Every time a camera is pointed at her, she poses, smiles and says cheese! Here are a few of our favorite shots.

More later!

Spring Break!

We have had such a fun spring break! Mimi came to visit on Wednesday and stayed through Saturday. On Thursday, we had a picnic and playdate in the park with Bella's good friends Catie, Elliott, LD & Grayson.





We also had lots of fun playing and shopping with Mimi and were really sad to say goodbye. We can't wait to see her again next month!

Happy Purim

This Sunday, Bella celebrated Purim! For those of you who are not quite sure what Purim is, click here. Every year, Shearith puts on an amazing Purim Carnival that is especially great for kids. There are bounce houses, games, face painters, a petting zoo and much more. All of the kids (and adults!) dress up in costumes and have FUN! Here are a few pictures of Bella having a ball. More pictures to come later (Daddy's camera ran out of battery, so Grandy & Grandpa have more and will be emailing them soon!).

Snow Fun!

This week, Dallas had record breaking snowfall. On Thursday, it started snowing at 3:00 am and didn't stop until midnight! In the end, we got 12 inches of snow!

Unlike the last time it snowed, Bella seemed to really enjoy it! She was sticking her tongue out to catch the flakes and played for quite a while. We attempted to make a snowman, but she didn't really have the patience for it.

Here are some pictures of our snowy adventure.

Haircut again?

Bella got her 3rd haircut today. Yes, that's correct. 15 months old and 3 haircuts. Bella really hates haircuts. We thought we would make it more fun by taking her to a Cool Cuts for Kids. They put her in a really cool car and put Dora on the TV. There was no fooling her though, she still cried the whole time. The end result is definitely worth it!

Winter Break!

Bella has had a very exciting couple of weeks! We had a huge snowstorm on Christmas. Bella was curious about the snow, but was not a huge fan.


We went to Bridgeport, where Bella visited her great-grandmother Meem, Aunt Melanie, great-grandparents Nannie & GranGran and of course, Grandy & Grandpa. She came back totally spoiled with all sorts of fun toys, including a rocking horse!










We also had some fun play dates with friends. Our friend Oliver and Aiden came over and played. Their parents are Daddy's friends from childhood!

Daddy also had his 30th birthday party. Lots of friends came over to play. There was a Cowboys game that day, so we were dressed to support them!
