My Valentine

Yesterday we celebrated Valentine’s Day

We celebrated love

And we have a lot of it!

We started the morning with pancakes! Mommy made special milk and soy free pancakes in heart shapes for Bella & Daddy made yummy pancakes for Mommy and Daddy to enjoy!

Bella got a sweet pink puppy from Mommy and Daddy!

We went to Aunt Jen & Uncle Brad’s house for lunch and had a lot of fun playing with John and the family!

Bella enjoyed her first taste of pizza!

We found an American Flavor Vegan Rice “cheese” which she actually liked!

Here’s our little Red Riding Hood all ready to go!

Snow!

We had a winter storm a few days ago (as if you haven’t heard!) and got a record 12.5 inches of snow last Friday! Tyler, Bella and I enjoyed the snow and Daddy’s day off from work on Friday!

Our neighbor let us borrow their sled to take photos of Bella. We did. She wasn’t thrilled.  Especially once the sled started moving!

I think Bella prefers to be indoors … and warm!

Bella’s buds

Last week Bella and I visited Isabel and Allie for a play date on a rainy day. Although I didn’t have my camera – I know, shocking! – I managed to snap a picture of B in her “cupcake” shirt made by Aunt Jen. Now I use the word cupcake loosely because … it’s a little misshapen. But regardless it was made with love and Bella loves it. Can’t you tell?

Later that day, Bella found a new “toy”! It’s a lot of fun to splash in Purdy’s water bowl. :)

Bella visited her boyfriend Tucker last Friday and had a great time playing with him and all his toys!  Tucker even let Bella share his big boy chair with him!

They played a little basketball.IMG_1019

And cooked a delicious meal for us!IMG_1021 IMG_1023

Thanks for the fun evening Tucker!   IMG_1035

On Saturday Bella and I had the whole day to ourselves because Daddy was out of town.  So we went to see Grandma and Grandpa and tried a few new foods at lunch.

She loved pickles!

But was not a fan of Pastina!

After Bella and I did a little shopping for her birthday party (!), Sarah and Christy came over to visit! IMG_1046

IMG_1045I made the mistake of leaving her by herself while I checked on the bathtub

…. after taking off her clothes!

This little girl can move now!

We had a naked baby on the run!

Daddy came home on Sunday and we watched the Super Bowl with some friends!

Bella is the “big girl” of the bunch! Here she is with Caden (4.5 months) and Tyler (1.5 weeks).

Ohh I love holding sweet tiny babies …….. Can’t wait for Baby Brown #2 to arrive! :)

Ready to go home! Bella has all her toys stuffed in her backpack. :)
