Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a fun filled week with family! First, we got to see Uncle Eric, Aunt Alissa and Baby Addyson. We hung out at grandma & grandpa's house and played all day. And, of course, Uncle John was there as well!
Uncle Eric even played in my princess castle with me. Mom didn't get a picture, but Uncle Eric even let me do his hair:)
It was so much fun to see Addyson. She is so beautiful!
The babies had fun playing together while I ran around the house all day long. I think Addyson is saying, "get out of the picture already" in this photo:)
It is so much fun to have a house full of little girls!


Then we headed to Terre Haute to visit with the Browne family. Cailynn and I played doctor...as you can tell I was really, really sick in this picture...I was so sick that Cailynn had to push me around.Bella was such a good baby. She'd let everyone hold her and she napped/slept really well. She showed off her beautiful smile all weekend.We attempted a photo shoot...mom said I wouldn't sit still, but then again I AM two.At least there were a few good shots...

Just Some Recent Pics

Hanging out with sister...
Our friend, Emma, came over on Friday. She is so much fun...and so are her mom and dad:)
Emma and Bella have matching bald spots...which is kinda cute!
I have discovered my singing voice! One of my favorite things to do is sing into my microphone while daddy plays the piano...our best duets are the itsy bitsy spider and Jesus Loves Me.
Sometimes I get to help him out on the piano too.
Bella is liking tummy time more and more. She stayed on her tummy for 8 minutes today without fussing...which is a record for her!
She is our sweetie pie.
Sometimes she likes the exersaucer...not always though.
Bella ate rice cereal for the first time yesterday. At first she wasn't so sure what was going on...but mommy and I encouraged her and she figured it out. I still don't know if she had more on her face or in her tummy, but it sure was fun.

Happy Halloween!

We started the night out by visiting Great Grandma & Great Grandpa's house. GGrandpa kept giving me more candy even though mom said I didn't need anymore (I think he didn't hear her...which was ok with me:)

Mom went to put my lion costume on and I decided I wanted to be a princess...so thankfully my cousins got me a dress up chest last year and I had all the things I needed to be a princess! Isabelle wore a pumpkin outfit/bib. She matched mom pretty well!
Then we met dad at church for the Harvest Festival party! It was soooo much fun. I played putt-putt with daddy. At first I didn't want to go into the room...there was some scary guy working there with a big wig, but after he took it off and showed me he was an all right guy I was fine. When I got to the hole and dad said, "put it in the hole", I just picked it up and put it in there...and then got very excited.
Then I got to have someone paint a rainbow on my hand. It was pretty cool and I sat perfectly still.
Of course, we spent some time in the bounce houses. Isabelle mostly watched me and all the other kids...and chewed on her hands the whole time!
We played a few games and I got a token to get a prize...which was cool because I got a bracelt and bubbles!Then we headed to grandma & grandpa's house for trick or treating. I was a little concerned when I saw kids in funny costumes going to MY grandma's house. I was a little hesitant about all this trick or treating stuff.After four houses I said, "back to grandma's house." So we went walked back.And I had a blast opening the door for the trick or treaters. I ran to the door every time I heard the doorbell!
