A week full of extra love!

Our family had a wonderful week! Marc's parents were in town for Easter and Bella loved the extra hugs, kisses and overall attention. She had two adoring grandparents to sit in the backseat with on every car ride... crawl around on the floor with and basically lavish her with love 24/7. She was in heaven and couldn't get enough!

A trip to one of our favorite places... the zoo!

...compared to the same picture 5 months ago.

I really wish she would stop growing.... it is all going by SO fast!

Bella showing her ice cream that PopPop shared with her.

YES... we let her have a few bites of ice cream now and then and YES, I am wearing overalls. No comments needed for either! :)

All the kiddos at Easter. Poor baby... she never get any attention!

I just love the look on her face!

Hanin' out with PopPop.

I bought some Easter eggs for Isabella to play with and they were a hit. But the smallest ones were to large to swallow but just small enough to shove in her mouth. Although she was adorable crawling around with an egg in her mouth...still made me nervous, so I threw them away!

She loves to swing!

My sister, Emily, took some beautiful pictures of Isabella so I could give them to the grandparents for Easter. They turned out great!!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!!

Daddy's little 'Princess Bella'

Marc is a huge Star Wars nerd... oh, I meant fan! So our friends Sarah & Landon gave Bella this onesie. To some it could have been a fashion challenge, but Bella looks beautiful in anything! :)

On the move!

The last two weeks have been huge for Isabella... she has started to crawl, pull up and say "Dadda" and "Momma"!!! I am still in a little shocked at how it all seem to happen at once, but Bella is loving her new found freedom. Her main motivation for crawling was to get closer to the dogs. They are still confused as to how they are supposed to act when Bella is near... since most of the time I am trying to keep them at a distance (at least from licking her last meal off her face.) I am sure the boys will get used to her grabbing their tails and pulling at their jowls, but for now Apollo is scared and runs away and Zeus sticks around until he gets annoyed... which isn't long.

Some other fun pics....

B helping with the laundry...

... showing off her new hair accessories, which later were destroyed by my parents dog!

This is Bella's inquisitive look.... I love the pursed lips!
