big girl

Bella is getting to be such a big girl! She's almost 3 1/2 months old (AHHH) and has recently hit some milestones!

She started grabbing toys!! Not perfectly but this is great progress for her! I have a video of this, but the blogger website is being funky. I'll try to load it later.

She also started to become our little Chatty Cathy! She "talks" in a high pitch and even had two phone calls today. One to Daddy and one to Grandma!

Bella and I started taking walks in the morning in hopes that Mommy can drop some of these extra pounds!! It's so hot outside (even at 8am) that I'm probably just going to sweat off this pesky baby weight. Here she is this morning sitting in the stroller like a big girl!! I decided putting her in the carseat & then in the stroller was way too hot. So we gave this a shot.

Bella's eyes started turning brown. Guess she'll have eyes like her Mommy.

We're still working on tummy time. Aunt Jen suggested that we try to put her on the boppy during tummy time. It helps!

This is the most she's lifted her head. It was kind of a one time deal ... but we'll take it.

Here's our chubby baby! Although don't be deceived. She's NOT sitting by herself! She's leaning against me. ;)

Now that she's getting older, I thought it was a good time to start "discussing" her big girl room! We looked through design magazines and catalogs to get color scheme ideas. It's never too early to start dreaming about design & this is a great way to help learn colors! She had a good reaction to a few pictures but we're going to keep searching for great ideas.

Gotta love these pants! Thanks Grandma!!
