Pool Fun

We went to our friend Tracy's for some food and fun and little one got to play with another little baby. He is 6 months old, and they could not get enough of each other. Quite fascinated with one another. Most of her little play group friends are almost a year old so someone just her size must have been neat in her eyes. That little boy had some moves; even put his arm around her. Daddy was not having that!!!

Algae Eater

Since little one is pretty close to sitting up on here own, I thought I would let her try and sit in the pack n' play and play around. This is what we got...I guess she likes how it feels on her tongue!

Father's Day Weekend

We packed up our things and headed to Boerne for Father's Day! I was a little nervous about a 5.5 hour drive with a baby, but little one traveled really well in the car, in fact slept most of the way. She loved being spoiled by grandma, grandpa and uncle M. We got to pick some veggies from the huge garden that uncle M help put together! We saw scorpions, a leaf eater ( who happens to eat window screens...who knew), a walking stick, hummingbirds and all the stars in the sky!

So get ready for some picture overload...I just can not help myself

Happy Father's Day Dad! We are the luckiest kiddos to have you as a Dad. Love you soooooooooo much!

The green hand shake lives on! Tradition is, whenever one of the kiddos leaves from visiting, Daddy gives us a handshake with some $$$. Little ones got her first green handshake. Lucky girl! Straight to the piggy bank.

Happy 1st Fathers Day!!!

Loving on her Grandpa

Relaxing with Uncle M

First trip to Bass Pro of course with Grandpa. I like the sign above the door.

She Nose!

Our newest trick is pointing out momma'a nose! Still working on getting her to point to her own nose. She starts to move her arm up that direction and then just starts smiling.

Take 2

Bella is seriously a champ. We noticed something on her side, what we thought was dirt on her. Turns out it was a BB shot wound that had clumped over. So we took her to the vet...to our surprise there were two BB shots wounds. Normally they just let them heal on their own but with her still sick from 2 weeks ago, she is having a hard time fighting off the infection it caused. Bella did not even seem bothered by it at all. Turns out we had to file a complaint with the police. They came out with the CSI unit and a detective. They even found a foot print plus some pretty obvious evidence. Looks like whomever it was, got up on top of our water meter and pelted Miss Bella. Needless to say they are about 99% sure that they knew who did it. She never barks and minds her own business. The kids were just being mean which just make it even more awful.

5 Months Old

Our little one has turned 5 months old! I think I say it every time, but time does fly by so quickly. She was super cooperative today so I just took some shots of her playing around.

She can almost sit up unsupported; I say by end of the month she will be on her own. So far she has tried eating avocados, bananas, apples and sweet potatoes. She likes all of them but really loves the sweet potatoes and apples. Up next are peas and squash. She still loves her bath time and even tries to drink out the the cup like mommy and daddy drink out of cups. She is really starting to mimic things we do. I know they do not know what they are saying yet, but whenever she cries she cries out "DADDY." Clear as day! Waiting for him to come rescue her. I can not believe daddy's little girl starts so early.

On another note, we started back up with our Kindermusik classes, baby rhyme times and sing along classes. She is tuckered out come end of day.

I love this picture. I could not stop laughing. She just leaned over and struck a pose!

LIttle Miss Independent

Since bumpers these days are not reccommended we went with a breathable bumper. Well little one thinks it is a leg rest. No matter how high I put it or where I move her she finds her way back over the the "leg rest." She also has developed this cute little habit of crossing her legs like a little lady.







This morning little one was eating her mashed up avocados and got a streak of independence in her. She was trying to feed herself! She has been trying for the last few days but finally got it right. Our little baby is just 5 months (well in a week) and learning so quickly.





On another note...Bella is home and doing great! The doctor could not believe she is doing so well. Most animals that eat that toxin from the plant go to doggy heaven pretty quick. Bella officially is a medical marvel with a cast iron stomach!!! She has even been up to going on the 1.5 mile walk every morning.
