curly Q

Look at this funny little curl Bella has developed. I guess the hair on the top of her head is getting longer .... and she has a bit of a curl or wave to her hair.

She's gonna be a heart breaker! :)

Bella is still thinking about rolling over ... just hasn't happened yet.

Auntie Em with the babies at grandma & grandpa's house this weekend!

Tyler has been waiting for nearly 4 months ... and today ... he caved. He took the jumpster out of the box and set it up in the doorway. He kept saying "i think she will really like it!" She wasn't too enthused at first (because she was asleep in my arms when he picked her up to put her in!) but she seemed to like it after a while. We got some smiles and I think it will really help her gain strength in her legs & continue to gain strength in her neck & "core"!!

Notice her arm inside the "seat". She's a little small for it but it's do-able.

And a video ...

Family & the DMA!

Good Morning Bella!! This is how we find her many mornings! Smiling and stuck in the rails.

Daddy is thrilled that Bella is almost ready to be carried in his infant carrier! He keeps testing it out to see if her neck is strong enough. :)

Bella hung out at great grandma & grandpa's new apartment with us while we moved them in. Look how excited she is for them to be in Texas!

Bella met some of Tyler's family for the first time on Monday night!

Bella with Uncle Merle.

Tammy and Townes!

Today we ventured to the Dallas Museum of Art! They had kid activities today so Aunt Jen, John, Kinsey & Tucker met us for a fun afternoon!!

We had a fun day! Thanks for inviting us Aunt Jen!

Fourth of July!!

Bella enjoyed her first 4th of July!

Here are a few of the many pictures we have from the fun filled day!!

Bella is thisclose to rolling over! Well we hope so at least. She gets this far, then just stops. Soon she'll roll all the way. :)

John and Bella modeled their festive outfits!

Then we swam!! Great grandma bought Bella so many cute clothes from Janie and Jack including this ADORABLE bathing suit!!! Thanks grandma!

Recognize the glasses from yesterday's post? Doesn't she look cute!!!

Bella spiced it up a bit and changed into her bikini this afternoon. She fills it out well.

silly John wearing Bella's pink sunglasses!

After swimming Bella hung out in her terry cloth hoodie :)

... and hung out with grandpa while he ate

Bella ended the exciting day with a bath! She was pooped and barely made it through her last bottle when we got home. She fell sound asleep at 8:10pm!!

Always the Princess

We met Bella's boyfriend, Tucker, and his parents for dinner last night. They had a wonderful evening! Tuck enjoyed gourmet grilled cheese. Bella waited until we got to grandma's to eat dinner ... she was shy and didn't want to eat in front of him. :)

Here she is all dressed up for their first date!

the handsome couple ...

Bella with Brent! :)

Today we went shopping! Bella's ready to go .. and wearing pants!!!! Can you believe it?? No dress for the little princess??!! but she looks pretty darn cute AND she even got a few compliments from the ladies in Nordstorm (and macy's ... and from a few other random admirers)

Bella put her mark on the North East Mall! She threw up in the food court and in the bathroom after I changed her diaper. Oh ... and could they put the changing table ANY higher in the bathroom? Seriously .. once Bella was laying on the changing table she was level with my shoulders. Very akward.

Bella was a good girl ... so she got a few special gifts. Tell me how cute this piggy bank is!!! We've been wanting one since she's been getting money from Grams and many many $2 bills from great grandpa! This piggy should do the trick.

It says "Always the Princess" on the side. Very fitting.

Tomorrow Bella will be stylin' in these shades. Adorable.
