Life of Bella

Summer seems to be just flying by! I can't believe it's already mid-August, and fall is just around the corner! We had a very busy month in July, and Bella continued to have lots of fun being her silly sweet self. :) 
Bella went bowling for the first time this month during a family reunion weekend. She looked pretty sweet in her bowling shoes. :) And actually enjoyed bowling quite a bit, although she was pretty insistent on doing it herself! Which made for some interesting scores...
Snuggling with her kitty friends and feeding them some type of food. This many cats are usually drug up from her room on a daily basis- partly because we have discovered a new fun game of dropping the kitties down our stairs onto Bella's head. She thinks it's pretty hilarious!
Bella has also been very into cooking lately. Many people and animals are served meals throughout the course of the day!
Loving on Tommy. :) It still amazes me how much he actually likes her! She pets him, sits by him, gives him kisses, and he doesn't do anything at all! That just shows that he is not as mean and naughty as other people would like to say. :)
Doing some acrobatic dance moves on the couch! Bella is signed up for dance lessons this fall, so I'm sure we will be seeing even more dance moves once those begin!
Complete with her dance moves, Bella also is quite the little singer. Much of her play throughout the day involves some type of singing as well- either real songs or ones created by her. :)
Another fun new game this month has been to have a "campout" over by the sliding door. She drug a pillow, this big blanket, and all of her stuff over there on a routine basis to do her camping party. I have no clue where she came up with that idea at! (Notice the straight hair in this picture- I straightened her hair one day for fun! It looked sooooo different- and long!)
Posing with some treasures from her Fancy Nancy book- and doing a very strange smile! Bella is quite the little Fancy Nancy herself. She still loooooves dressing up and making herself into a beautiful princess! I don't even know why I bother putting normal clothes on her most days, as they are usually taken off to wear a princess dress.
Bella is very good at riding on her tricycle now! I think she'll be ready for a big girl bike next year for sure. 
Hee hee, I think she looks like the wicked witch of the west riding on a broomstick here. :) 
Apparently Tommy got lots of love from her this month.
We continued to spend lots and lots of time at the pool! One Saturday afternoon, I took Bella by herself to the pool while Gracie stayed at home to nap with Daddy. Then I could actually take a few pictures of Bella swimming- not possible to do on my own with two kids!

Making some "soup" for me to eat. :)
Having a little snuggle and tv time on the couch- most likely watching her new favorite show (to my dismay)- Caillou. Bella is quite obsessed with Caillou for some odd reason and doesn't ever want to watch anything else. Apparently, when she starts liking something, she has to fully immerse herself into it!
She loves that pink nigh-nigh. :)

Doing some more cooking and eating!
Bella got a new cash register earlier in July as well- and she became quite obsessed with playing grocery store and doing check-outs. Mommy had to alternate between checking out groceries and going grocery shopping many many times! As I said, she tends to become obsessed with things she likes. :)
Another fav- playing games on Mommy's phone after the day at Adventureland. :) Even better when there is a furry friend to sit by!
