7 months and growing...

Isabella was officially 7 months on the 18th! She is growing like a weed and according to our scale, weights about 18.8 lbs. She is such a firecracker and will be crawling any day now.... as soon as she can get her arms and legs to work together. I keep putting off baby proofing the house.... I don't think out of laziness but because I am in denial that my baby is growing up so fast! I really hate it and wish everyday that someone will invent a pill that would keep her little forever. I know... I'm horrible... but it's the truth!!! I can't help it!

Bella's monthly "Pooh" picture has recently turned into a wrestling/gnawing match.... where Bella always wins! Of course.

No, I didn't let her fall off the chair.... but she defiantly tests her limits.

Last weekend we had a family birthday party for my brother Brandon (26) and cousin Ali Grace (4). The party had a Cinderella/princess theme...... Brandon had little input as to the theme but was happy to be Prince Charming, minus a costume.

Ali Grace happily shared her title as 'princess' with all the other girls..... therefore, Isabella rightfully took her place on the throne! :)

Then in her Daddy's lap for a quick break...

.... just about nap time....

After all the fun and a quick bottle with Aunt Mimi.....

... Princess Bella needed to get her beauty sleep!

Just some other fun pictures!

6 months and growing....

6 months... WOW... I can't believe it has already been half a year since Bella blessed our lives!!! We went to the doctor last week for her check up and she is weighing in at 17lbs (70th %) and 28 inches (100th %). I went into the appointment so proud of myself for not running to the doctor the first time my child came down with a minor illness (a cold) .... until the doc started to listen to her chest! We were then informed that Bella did not have a silly little cold but had bronchiolitis! I felt horrible!!! We were sent home with a nebulizer and ordered to administer breathing treatments every 4 hours. It has been a week now and Bella is still very gurgly when she breaths but hopefully we can clear it all up at our appointment on Monday. Needless to say, I learned my lesson!

We usually take a picture with Pooh bear each month to show how much she has grown in comparison, but Bella has become quite the picture hog!

Throwing bear out of the first pic...

... now second...

... third...

... fourth...

... until she finally got her way and got to shine solo in the picture! :)

Amidst all her toys, the remote is still the favorite!

Along with music class, we are now taking swimming lessons. At the first class I was a little worried because Bella didn't like the last time I took her into the tub with me... so I prepared myself for some crying but Bella loved it! She had a smile on her face the whole time and even allowed me to 'dip' her under the water without screaming.
