Snow Fun

I've had so much fun playing in the snow this past week....I've played with mommy, daddy, grandma and grandpa. Grandpa and I even built a snowman on Sunday. We used licorice (I like to say ish-ish) for his smile!
I thought it would be fun to give grandpa a ride...
I'm not quite strong enough to pull him very far.
I can't wait until Bella is big enough to play with me...maybe next year??

What's new in Jan. 2009?

I just love this picture of Bella (thanks Aunt B for taking photos all the time:)....she is getting so much bigger and has her 6 mo appointment next week. Her cheeks are really filling out! She is rolling over now, but is completely content checking me out:)
We got used to see so much of our family over the holidays that we've been missing them this month. I talk about all my aunts and uncles daily and can't wait to see them again! My biggest news this month is that I am wearing big girl panties....I know, it's big news! My mom says she can't believe how old I am...
My favorite way to play now is probably dressing up. I love my new dress up clothes and I pretend to be a different princess each day. I sing and dance and pretty much entertain my mom and Bella.
Check out the videos below..the first one is of Bella laughing...she just gets the case of the giggles now (for something different each day it seems) and it is totally contagious...T

Recent Pics

My cousin (well kind of cousin:), Hunter, just moved to Carmel and we are so excited! He came over to play on Saturday.
It was fun to see him enjoy all the toys I've out grown:)

On Friday night, we went to Spaghetti Factory downtown after the Children's Museum. Bella slept through the entire dinner!
Daddy taught me how to suck up spaghetti....I've never enjoyed eating so much!
We had lots of practice...
It was fun to go to the Children's Museum with Dad...I got to show him my favorite spots and they had something called Jolly Days where they had even more things to do!

This was the best slide ever!

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!
