Elizabeth the photographer...

Mom has let me practice my photography skills lately....these are a few of my shots...the first one was actually is actually the most recent so I'm getting better!

Bella Scoots...

I feel like this is old news since Bella has been scooting for 3 weeks, but mom finally uploaded this video:) Bella is all over now and completely happy exploring on the floor these days...

Gulf Shores 2009

We just went to Gulf Shores last week with the Browne family...let's just say that I really like the beach!!!! We had a wonderful time and Bella (although she didn't make it out to the beach that much...due to naps/eating/windy days) must love the ocean because she slept soooo well. I won't comment on each photo as most of them speak for themselves...good times:)

Misc. Pics

Bella started scooting on her tummy about a week ago...but she still prefers to sit.
Bella and I had fun with the laundry basket! Mom said there is no reason to buy anymore toys...I'm not sure I agree with her, but it was fun...

I think I'm having as much fun playing with old baby toys as Bella:)

The Month of March

Bella likes to sit up more and more...she even started scooting some on her belly, but she usually just whimpers a little so that we'll give her the toy she is reaching for or wants.
Emilee made me my very own baby sling so that I can hold my baby dolls the way that mommy held Bella when she was a newborn. I love it!
Mom just thought Bella looked so cute in this hooded sweatshirt!


The first video below is of me and daddy playing memory. He taught me how to play a few weeks ago and for some reason mom thought it was cute (I told her the video was kind of boring, but she wanted to put it on here anyways). The second video is another "Annie" performance...I like to help mommy out with sweeping (or unloading the dishwasher or dusting or folding laundry...although mom says I unfold the laundry??) and so I decided to sing and act out a new favorite song! I hope you like it!

Healthy and Home

Last Thursday I got the stomach flu...and after two days of being sick mom and dad decided to take me to the ER. I was so good and didn't even flinch when they put the IV in me...mom and dad seemed real sad about it though. After they did some blood work they decided to admit me because my sugars were really low. So mom, dad, and I spent two nights in the hospital trying to get well. The nurses took real good care of me even though I wasn't too happy about the vital checks in the middle of the night! They kept saying how cute I was:) Bella stayed at my Aunt Meg's house...and from what I hear she had a really great time! I know they took good care of her, but we missed her so much. I came home on Monday and it took several days for me to get all better. I was still pretty puny and needed some time to get my strength back! So now, a week later, I am starting to feel a bit normal!

It was warmer yesterday and we needed to get out of the house, so mom and dad took us to the park. This was the first time that Bella got to swing! She loved it, but I think she loved watching me more!

Feb. Pics

We came home from grandma/grandpa's house one morning and celebrated Valentine's Day! There were balloons, princess hats, and cake for me and Bella! We had a great day celebrating:)
Bella even liked her balloon so much that it made her giggle when it moved.
I am quite the little helper. Now that Bella isn't as fragile, mom lets me help even more. I like to hold her and feed her and try to pick her up (then mom always says don't pick her up:( I like to make her smile and laugh!

In this video, Bella is eating some puffs...she just started eating them last week because she'd get mad if we sat down at the table to eat and she didn't get to join in the fun (even if she'd already eaten!)...so mom gives her puffs while we eat meals now and she is completely happy! Sometimes she makes it into her mouth and sometimes not...
