Visiting with Big Daddy

Bella got to see her Big Daddy (my dad) this week. He came down for a funeral, unfortunately, but we had a nice visit afterwards. He hasn't seen B since she was 3 weeks old and couldn't believe how big she's gotten. These are a couple pics of them, along with Marcus, my nephew.




We don't have too much going on right now. Calvin's getting ready for deer season. This weekend, we have another funeral to go to (sucks!) along with a surprise 40th bday party for my brother that we moved up a weekend at the last minute. Bella is spending the night at her Maw's house tonight and I am about to go take advantage of it and get some sleep!

Three Months Old

I can't believe it's been 3 months since my sweet baby girl came into the world. She is so sweet and so perfect. We are totally in love!

Of course, I had to take some pics to celebrate the occasion. Here you go...

I thought this was a funny picture of her...Calvin, not so much.












So while I am snapping pictures of her, she decided she might want to try rolling over, and I got to catch it on film! (Of course, this was probably just a one time thing for now.
Starting out...


I think I am gonna go for it....


Here we go...


Success!!!

It's been a while...

I have been a busy mommy! Too busy to blog apparently. Too busy to take pictures of me girl, unfortunately.

Work is keeping me super busy these past few weeks. I have been able to work from home quite a few days, but that keeps me even busier than when I have to leave. Almost every day last week I was at home and my niece Tori came over to watch Bella while I did some work. On Tuesday we went to Beaumont because I had to go do some things at the courthouse there. Tori and Bella came inside and sat in the lobby while I did my work, because I just had a few things to check on. On the way home, we made our normal stop at Starbucks. Ususally I just drive thru but B was hungry and so we decided to go in and feed her before the drive home. While we were in there it started pouring down rain. Hard. You couldn't even see outside. We were stuck in there for probably half an hour with the lights going off and on and the place so crowded because no one was brave enough to run out to their cars. Once we got back in the car and turned on the radio we found out there was a tornado that had touched down and taken off the roof of Kohl's. Starbucks is in that same parking lot! We weren't able to see the tornado I guess because of the rain. There were several cops in there with us and lots of people looking out, but no one saw it. Scary!!

The past two weekends were spent at the deer lease. Calvin is putting up a new stand and has been busy building it. It is sooooo hot! Bella loves to sit out on the porch and let me rock her on the porch swing. We keep a fan on us and it the heat doesn't seem to bother her. This weekend we have been more low-key. Yesterday we stayed home all day until around 8 last night and we went over to my brother's for a poker game. Bella slept and we hung out in my nephew's room most of the night. Today Calvin is back at the deer lease, but B and I stayed home. I am trying to get caught up on some laundry and other house stuff. Not an easy thing to do these days.

Bella is getting to be such a big girl. She is constantly smiling/laughing/babbling. She loves to watch the kids shows on tv that have bright colors on them. She is also becoming an even better sleeper. At night she has a bottle about 6:30, then she and I get in the tub around 7. Her dad comes and gets her out, rubs her down with her night time lotion and she is O-U-T by 7:30 for the night. Sometimes she may wake up at some point for a bottle, but always goes back to sleep. Sometimes she will sleep through til 6 or 7 the next morning. It's nice for Calvin and I to finally have some time alone again. Our anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks and we are thinking of taking a short trip somewhere, of course we are bringing B with us! We can't be away from her too long!

Who could stay away from this cute baby??

Doctor Today....

and Bella didn't like it one bit!!

Today was Bella's appointment for her 2 month shots. I've been dreading it for weeks! The day started out good. I took off work and Daddy came home early. We went for sushi, to the mall and then for Starbucks. Things went downhill after that! Poor baby girl's face turns SO red when they gave her the shots, but she only cried for a minute and has been fine since then. She had 3 shots in her legs and one oral vaccination. Poor girl! The doctor said she looks perfect. She is growing right on schedule and doing all of the things she is supposed to be doing. She is 21 1/2 inches long and weighs 10 lbs now!

This is a pic of Bella and of Bella and Daddy before the dreaded appointment.



And one of her poor legs!


And now just some pictures of my cute girl...

2 Months Old (minus a day!)

Just wanted to post a couple of 2 month pictures of Bella Boo. Technically, she won't be 2 months until tomorrow, but I am super busy with work and thought I might forget.
Speaking of...work is going good. Not sure how long this project will last and if I will have another one after this, but I am enjoying it while I can.
Yesterday we went to Conroe for Calvin's dad's 80th birthday party. Afterwards we did some shopping at the outlet mall and on the way home we had some yummy sushi. Of course, I forgot to bring my camera, so no pictures of Bella with Grandpa Wayne.
This week Bella has to get her 2 month shots, yuk! I can't wait to see how much she weighs though. She seems like she is getting so big to me, but everybody talks about how tiny she is.
What do you think??
