Miss Bella!

I didn't keep track of Bella very well this month. :) So I guess she hasn't really done anything new, which is pretty true! Her life continues to revolve around playing princesses, being a princess, acting silly, singing, dancing, drawing, painting, and being the sweet little girl that she is- and getting oh so close to turning 3! Can hardly believe that my baby is going to be three years old. :( 

As I have mentioned, Miss Bella is not very cooperative when Mommy wants to take pictures of her. However, I am able to entice her occasionally, especially if she gets to stand by some pretty flowers. She is very much a girly little girl!

With a silly streak. :)

And a beautiful smile!

Here is a very typical playtime activity for Bella- dressed up like a princess while playing princesses of course. I'm sure they were singing some type of beautiful song here, as all princesses do!

Surprisingly enough, she doesn't have on all of her accessories here! Usually when she puts on her princess clothes (which was been occurring daily lately), she needs to complete her outfit with some beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and crowns. Mommy, Daddy, and Gracie also get accessorized as well. :) Despite Daddy's protests!

Bella has still spent lots of time doing sidewalk chalk, and would get very sad when April rains washed away her beautiful artwork. :(

Her favorite thing is still her beloved "nigh nighs." She always needs some snuggle time on the couch , especially if Mommy snuggles with her!

Thankfully, Bella's attachment to me has been weaning these past months. She isn't so sassy with Daddy and when he helps her do things (sometimes.:)) and doesn't need us to play with her all the time. It makes me glad that she is growing independent, but it is definitely bittersweet as I realize she's growing up and doesn't need me as much.

One fun outing Bella had this month was going to Pet Fest at a park here in town, which was held by the Marion County Humane Society. When I read about kittens and puppies to pet and hold, I knew Bella had to attend. :) Daddy was out of town, but Grandma Sheri came along to assist with the girlies!

Bella holding her favorite kitty- naturally the orange one. Not sure why, but that is definitely the color of cat she is drawn to!

She was not a fan of the puppies at the park however. THey were a little too big for her liking and definitely made her a little nervous!
