Look what I can do Mom!!! Wow, this aquarium is much cooler up close!
Oh goodness, has it REALLY been an entire month since I updated the our blog!!!??? Yes, I know all of you avid bloggers are grumbling going, "uh yeah Sunnie, we've been staring at the same Father's Day pictures for a month now!" Sorry!!!
Bella is just so active now that all of my free time when I'm not planning a big day for a Bride tends to be rolling around on the floor with her, heading to music class at the Music Bug (she's loving the maracas) or some other form of entertainment to keep this busy girl occupied!! She is still just as tall as ever and I'm really looking forward to our 6 month check up (minus the immunizations) to find out how tall she is and how much she weighs. She has had such a growth spurt in the last month you just wouldn't believe your eyes!
She has mastered crawling and she has full intention on covering the entire house in the next couple of weeks. Really....how big can you buy blankets? I feel as though I need to install bouncy flooring in my entire household so we avoid the bonking of the noggin so much!!! She also has started to pull herself up on anything she can get those little fingers on....crib, Daddy, myself, coffee tables...everything!! We didn't realize she could do this until I went in to check on her during a nap the other day and as I walk in I am greeted by a big smile and my standing baby! Oh really Bella???!!! You can stand now???!!!! What!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, you're just moving way too fast for Mommy & Daddy!!!
It is really truly amazing to see her progress so quickly, she is strong and determined...exactly how I want her to grow up :)
We have just had loads going on as well in the last month and we've had a blast with friends in town and all of the fun events we've been able to go to! Baby showers, bachelorette parties, the whole nine yards! Bella has been quite a hit with everyone and she has definitely gotten her fill of spoiling lately. (Okay, so maybe she gets that all the time but I can't help it) I'm just so thankful that the multitude of smiles on her face has only gotten better! She giggles so hard....and snorts liker her Mommy....that you really can't help but falling down with laughter. She just cracks herself up.
She has also began to give super big kisses. When I go into her room in the morning and pick her up she throws her arms around my head and attacks my face with a big wet one on my cheek or a slobber and some sort of sucking on my chin :) Talk about feeling like the most important person in the whole wide world!!!
We are loving being parents....absolutely wholeheartedly loving it! She has blessed our life more than we could ever put into words and I'm sad in a way that she is already halfway to a full year old. I wish she could stay this age forever, thigh rolls and all :)
Love to you all!! XOXO
