5 Months Old!

I can't believe how fast the time is going! 5 months ago at about this time I was in the hospital, strapped to monitors, having consistent, not too uncomfortable, contractions. It was a boring morning...but what a great evening!

Bella is growing up so fast. This past weekend she has really started rolling. She has been flipping over for a while now, but she got really good over the weekend. If she is on the floor, we cannot keep her still.

We spent the past weekend at my mom's. Calvin stayed in the woods pretty much all weekend and we hung out with lots of family. Bella's Grandpa Wayne even came for a visit.

Bella also got some new things. She has been getting really bored with sitting in her bouncer and swing or playing on her playmat. I ended up getting her the exersaucer and she loves it!



Bella also got a highchair. I have been feeding her in her bouncer, but she is getting tired of not being able to sit up. Her grandpa bought her this highchair this weekend and it's a big hit with her. She loves being in the kitchen with me while I am cooking or cleaning.


I think that Bella is teething. We havent seen any teeth yet, but she is chewing on everything and sometimes get super fussy and the only way she will calm down is if she has something to chew on. They have these feeders you can buy that look like a big pacifier but the "nipple" part is a mesh bag that you can put things in and freeze it. I put some banana in hers and omg, she loves it. Unfortunately it is SUPER messy. But like I said, she loves it.

I love this time of year. It's finally starting to cool off and there are so many things going on. Plus, the holidays are just around the corner! Friday I am hoping to get to meet up with my friend Shannon in the Woodlands to spend the day. She is my friend from College Station and she hasn't been able to meet B yet and I haven't seen her little boy, Nicholas, since he was around 2 months old (he's 9 months now!).This weekend is Bella's first halloween so be looking for some cute pictures! We have a party on Saturday night, not sure if I will be bringing B with us or not. Might be fun to just to be able to hang out with friends and not have to worry about getting my sweet baby home to bed. Sunday we have a baby shower to go to. My cousin, Tabitha, is about to have a baby girl. At my shower she told me she was 5w pregnant, so I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Next weekend is when regular hunting season starts. I will be a hunting widow for a few months I am sure! I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving. We always go to Austin to my dad's house. We also celebrate Christmas with them at this time because there is always too much going on to get back there again for Christmas. Speaking of, I've started doing a little Christmas shopping. I can't believe it's already that time of year. I love it!!

Hope everyone is doing good!

Just Checkin' In...

Haven't posted in a little while, so I wanted to check in and post some pics.

We have been busy with life. Hunting season has started, so Calvin has been busy with that. He's also been glued to the tv on Sunday and Monday nights watching football...driving me nuts!

Bella is good. She really is an easy baby. Almost never fusses, etc. She is a little laughing machine lately and I love it!

Last weekend we went to the Burnett Family reunion and took some pics of B while we were there. We also took one of all of us, but I haven't gotten a copy of it yet. My nephew and I made a cake to take, so I am posting a pic of it because it's pretty cute. Oh..also, Bella took pictures last week. They were old-tyme type pictures and I can't wait to get the proofs. But, I do have to wait til the 27th. She looked super cute so I hope they turn out good.

Hope everyone is doing well...
And now for a couple of pics.

Happy Friday!

I can't believe it's October already..time is flying! B wore one of her Halloween outfits to celebrate the occasion. She looked super cute as usual!



We went to Beaumont with Joanna today and did some shopping. This evening Bella and I went up to the church to a funeral visitation for a highschool friend, Rob. Super sad :( Afterwards we met Calvin up at my highschool for the Homecoming game. B did NOT like it! I assume it was too loud..or else she wasn't feeling great..regardless,she had a meltdown. We ended up leaving at halftime. It was fun to see some old friends though, just wish I could have visted more.

Tomorrow bow hunting season starts. Calvin is heading out to the lease before daylight. Bella and I are going later. Bella's grandpa Wayne is buying her some new clothes and meeting us out there around lunch. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day for B.

Happy Friday!!

What a difference a year makes.... (and 4 month stuff)

A year ago today I got this!



And now I got this!!!!!





Needless to say, it's been a great year!

Today Bella had her 4 month check-up! She is doing great! She weighed 13lb 14oz and is 24 1/2in long. She's in the 30th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for length. She also gets to start eating cereal and fruits, then veggies if she does ok with this. Unfortunately, she also had to get her 4 month vaccinations today too. She did much better. She only cried for a few seconds and then took her bottle and passed out. Since then, she's been in a great mood.

She's growing up way too fast. Her new thing is that she loves to blow bubbles and spit everywhere. It's lovely. She also is laughing, squealing and talking so much. She is alot of fun right now. Friday night she is going to her first football game and my old highschool. It's homecoming and her big cousin Hunter, is on the homecoming court this year.

Here are a few more pics before I go.

4 Months!

Sweet baby girl is 4 months old today. Just a few pics from 4-wheeler riding, which she loves.





Bella has her 4 month check up on Tuesday...I'll write more then.

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 years ago today...

was a really good day. One of my favorite days in fact. Because three years ago today, we did this....

I love you Calvin!
