Growing Up

Belle is growing up way too fast. When we came to the US the week of Thanksgiving she could barely say momma and dada. Now look what's happening!









Nate jokes and tells me that in a few weeks she will be explaining why she shouldn't get time out! That, surely will be the day :)

Belle Feeding Baby

Yesterday I showed her how to feed her baby with a plastic spoon and fork. After my demonstration she promptly shoved the spoon into the baby doll's face and started saying, "mmmmmmm". Hilarious! I wanted video but she took it all to her room so I snuck up on her! Notice in the video that after she sees me she puts the spoon in her mouth so she can pick up her baby and carry the fork.... she is wanting to go behind the curtain with all of it!!!




It reminds me of this video taken when she was little and we were feeding her! She now always says, "mmmmm" when she is hungry too!

Speed Demon

Although this video was taken about three weeks ago it still makes me smile. Belle in a walker outside in my parents driveway holding a silver spoon wearing her pajamas and blue bandanna! She was loving hiking up the driveway and then running down it... needless to say she burned a few holes in her socks and even skinned up her big toes. That's what being a kid is all about though!

More Chit Chat- Video of the Week

This was taken early in the morning when she talks the most. I didn't want to turn on the light because then she gets interested in other things! You can here her loud and clear though!!

She has been practicing talking for some time now but now it has moved to the middle of the night and very early morning. She wakes me up with all her little laughs and coos right around 11pm and 4am. I can't help but smile at her when she does this even though I am exhausted beyond belief!

Video of the Week

I tried to post this 2 weeks ago and you can tell from her outfit and her mosquito bites on the face :( The outfit no longer fits at all and the mosquito bits are another story. Still a good video though!!

Watch Belle Grow

My friend Carol made this video from the pictures in the blog. It's crazy to see how small she was and how fast life is passing by. Thanks Carol!! 

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.
