Bella Baby


Sweet Bella is sick. Yes her tummy finally got her into trouble. She ate a type of palm tree which is super toxic and has been at the vet since Friday afternoon. Her prognosis is not good, but we were given a little bit of hope so we will take it. We went to visit her on Saturday and she seemed in good spirits. But it was really sad to see her hooked up to an IV. Of course it is a long weekend so we will not know until Tuesday morning if we can take her home. Oh Bella....

Playtime+Fun=Naptime

Little one discovered she can sit up by herself for a brief moment today!!! With the new "trick" she really loved playing with some new toys we got today. She was all tuckered out.




And yes those little legs are as kissable and cute in person!

Beach Baby

We made it to the beach finally! Baby girl loved the beach and in true infant fashion as everything goes in the mouth....naturally the sand went straight into the mouth. She got her first taste of salt water when a mini wave crashed up against her. Oh and she did great on the plane. Not one peep!

Don't they both looked thrilled to take this picture!






Her little back looks so cute in a swimsuit!!!





Talk about kissable little lips



She loves her Uncle Sean!

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa M

Daddy thought it was a good idea to take little to go see her grandparents this past weekend without me! It was hard but kind of nice to eat breakfast at a normal pace and take an extended shower. I almost did not know what to do with myself. She even got to play with her cousin Carys and Uncle Sean! We are sure going to miss them, but are so happy for their new venture!!!

First Day of Solids!

We got the go ahead to try some solids by the doctor and see if she is interested yet. We tried feeding her with our finger first to get used to it and then moved onto the spoon. I think she liked the spoon! We are starting with some rice cereal and will try out bananas next week. She didn't know what to think of this new pasty texture. But was not opposed to it.

4 months

This week little one turned 4 months old. My how time flies! She is now 13lbs 12oz and 24 inches long. Our little dark haired brunette is now a blondie! Her eyes are still are as blue as blueberries; the doctor thinks they will stay bright blue. She smiles all the time, especially for daddy. She loves her little cage ball rattle and really likes when you read to here. Especially big, bright and colorful books. She likes to try and hold the books too. Bath time is a blast now, she kicks around and tries to eat her toys!

She rolls over really well and just yesterday rolled back to front instead of front to back. She is quite impressed with being able to do both. Rolling back to front makes her laugh. She has also discovered Bella and just stares and smiles at her. But Bella could careless. Every once in awhile she licks little one and then carries on about her business. Since we are going to start some form of solids very soon, I think those two will become best of friends!









We also had a picnic planned for Mother's Day, but of course the weather was chilly and wet. So we moved the picnic inside. Just what I wanted, some good old fashioned family time!

Grandma Comes to Visit!

Grandma White was in town for Mother's day! So we went to the arboretum to check out the Peter Rabbit flower houses. We had a ton of fun. Little did we know that Grandma would get the stomach virus that we all had!










This squirrel would pop the tops off of the cosmos and eat them!

Nothing is Sweeter Than a Baby Laugh

Little girl is sick again so we kind of have been hanging around the house. She was in good spirits earlier and I got it on video. Originally I was saying "dada and she was laughing out loud and when I said "momma" she just looked at me. She was kind enough to throw in some laughs for momma by the time I grabbed the camera. Of course she had a full on belly laugh when I said dada.

Plano Baby Rhyme Time

On Friday we ventured over to one of the Plano libraries for infant rhyme time.  It was  pretty neat as one side of the library is sectioned of for reading time and is painted like a castle with princes, princesses and animals.  The ceiling even looked like there were real stars twinkling above.  She learned row row row your boat and has a thing for bubbles!
