Hot and Sticky Summer

Let’s first start with a photo that will make you cry.

Look how big Bella is.  How did this happen?

How?!

Last weekend Daddy, Bella and I heard the beautiful sounds of the Ice Cream man from a few blocks away.  We gathered some cash and hung out in the front yard until he graced us with his presence. So worth the wait in the zillion degree heat. 

After selecting the watermelon popsicle for Bella, we stripped her down and let her go to town.

Good thing we did!

Here she is “before” …

 

Then we started to get messy.

But it was so worth it!

Look at this happy girl!! :)

 

Daddy rinsed her off and we went straight to the bathtub!

 

Bella met the twins, Ansley (on left) and Kinley (on right) last week.  We will be watching them a few days a week for a few months. 

We’re still working on learning to share and being patient, but I’ve seen an improvement in my B in just a few short days. They’re still getting “used” to each other but I know they’ll become great friends soon.  

These photos are too funny. Daddy lays on the floor with B a lot and Bella sits right on his chest since he doesn’t have an accessible “lap” to read books on.

(she doesn’t quite realize that it’s very hard for Daddy to read a book when you have a toddler blocking your view)

(and she doesn’t how rude it is to put your tushie so close to someone’s face when you toot so often) 

The second photo I asked her to say Cheese and smile.  This is what I got. 

Gotta love this girl!

Today I did a little design work and Bella was my tiny Design Assistant. She was such a good girl & got many compliments from other customers and workers on how well behaved she is.

She has them all fooled. ;)
