no water babies here!

This weekend we went to a 50th wedding anniversary party and today was a pool party at Auntie Em and Uncles Jer's house. Bella wasn't too thrilled about either of these outings. She did okay at the anniv. party but was passed around a lot and got too tired ... which lead to her getting a little cranky.

She woke up super early today and I should have known it would have lead to a rough day. All was well until we changed Bella into her new bathing suit and got her all lathered up in suntan lotion. The tears started streaming and we thought the water would soothe her. No way, No how! She screamed once she hit the water and it went downhill from there. She was not a happy girl but after a few hours of being unhappy she finally fell asleep and took a 2 hour nap! Tyler let her sleep on her belly, which I know, is a HUGE "no-no", but we were desperate. And we checked quite frequently to be sure A)she wasn't crying or B)she was still breathing. :) We got B home, gave her a bath, shed a few more tears, drank a bottle and she is now sound asleep again. She wore me out today!

On a happy note - John started crawling! We captured just a bit of his new mobile milestone on video. He's such a big boy. And so good!!!

Here are some pictures ...

Mommy and Bella getting ready for the anniversarty party. We hung out in our robes as long as possible to avoid spit-up disasters on our dresses. :) Doesn't she look like a monster in this picture? Where did our tiny baby go??

Here is my one and only photo from the party. Bella doesn't look thrilled, but we were happy Christina got to meet her! And she looked too cute in her ladybug dress!

Here is Bella eating before our day went downhill. Look at the cute bib Aunt Jen MADE for her sweet niece! Thanks Aunt Jen!!

Bella's only picture in the pool, with Daddy. Can you tell she isn't happy?

John in the middle of his bottle (which he can hold himself now!) Doesn't he look like Brad a bit?
Here's the big boy crawling!!
