Bella has had some new exciting happenings in the past weeks! Here are some pictures to show what's been going on...
Bella had her first morning with bed head! Despite that small amount of hair, it was standing up into this mohawk one morning- mainly due to the fact that she burrows her head into her bumpers when she sleeps at night.
First time that Mommy painted Miss Bella's toes! We amazingly kept squirmy still enough to do this, although it wasn't an easy task. And those pink toes looked very cute! I didn't paint her fingers since she chews on them so much. Fingernail polish doesn't seem like it would taste very good. :)
Bella has also had her first swimming lessons! And first time she was really in a pool long enough to enjoy it.
Bella absolutely adored the water, which we thought she would. She splashed all over the place, showed her silly smile to everyone, kicked those chubby legs... it seems we may have a little water rat on our hands!
There are several kids in her class who are around Bella's age, and some of them were not very happy to be in the water. Definitely not the case for her! Looks like I will be spending a large portion of my summer swimming.
Bella also got to go on her very first plane ride! We went to California last weekend to visit Derek's brother and family. I must admit, I was definitely nervous to take Bella on the plane. My ears always kill me on planes, and I didn't know how she would handle it. I also knew it would be a challenge to keep her on our laps for such a long time period! However, Bella did awesome. On the flights out there, she slept for most of the time. The way back wasn't as successful, but she still did well. Our last flight had several other babies on it, one of whom was sitting in front of us- and he was absolutely freaking out. Crying kids used to kind of drive me crazy on the planes, but now all I thought was thank goodness that's not me. :)
In California, Bella got to experience some awesome weather! Even though it has been getting nicer here, it was definitely a lot warmer than she is used to. We went to the park one day to let Bella and Cayden play around.
Bella enjoyed swinging again!
Bella and Cayden swinging together- it also looks like Bella is staring Cayden down. :) She loved playing with a child her size!
Sitting in the grass for the first time, which she actually didn't mind. Naturally she took it upon herself to pick up tiny little sticks and leaves and tried to eat them.
Bella standing like a big girl!
Hee hee, I think this picture is funny. They're zoning out watching our portable DVD player on Matthew's lap. Cayden started watching it, and Bella thought she needed to join in on the fun!
Awww, cousin love! As I mentioned, Bella loved being around Cayden and watching him play. They had lots of fun together! She is definitely taking much more interest in kids now than she used to, although she would rather just give them a big smile than actually play.
Bella can stand on her own for quite a bit of time now! She has started to take a step forward, but she falls right away. However, the walking will definitely be coming at some point since she has a lot more interest in it.
