Well, we made it, the first year! I had to go to school that day, but I only went for a half a day. I could not miss Bella's first birthday in any aspect.
We ended up hanging out and then going to Cracker Barrell, Bella loves the Old Timers Breakfast. :D Then we headed over to her Grandmama and Pappaw's house to get the house ready for her birthday partyyy. :D
Party time rolls around at 6 o clock, and there are no joke sixty people or more, and there are tons and tons of presents. They are still sitting in their original packaging and bags that they came in. I am such a procrastinator. :D
Tonight we are putting up the Christmas tree. Ohhh I should mention Thanksgiving, Bella ate her little heart out, we are having a problem with vegetables, but she liked the mashed potatoes. She isnt a really big meat eater.
Anyway, we are putting up the Christmas tree... even though Bella is asleep. I bought cheap stockings tonight and some ornaments we can decorate. :D and some glitter glue. I am one excited mother!
Well I am going to try to keep this thing updated more :D

Nine Months.
Well for those who actually know Bella's true age, will know that it's actually the 26th, meaning she is not nine months old yet, but I am writing the blog today because what is like one hour really?
Yesterday we welcome tooth number 4 to the world :D it's her top left tooth. She has her two bottom teeth and now her two top teeth. She's also starting to eat more like grown up food now :D yay Bella!
She can't really crawl all that well, but she can sort of scoot across the floor on her butt, it is more like you have to pay attention to where she was and see where she is in a few minutes.
We went over to Ricky's parents house the other day for a visit and their black fluffy annoying cat Midnight was meowing trying to get attention, and when he would meow, Bella would make a sound like "Ow" so she was mimicking him and this went on for a couple minutes until Midnight walked away, clearly getting the picture he was not getting attention, just mimicked.
Then today we were just getting up and downstairs and a car honked its horn and Bella looked at me and made a noise like she was just waiting for it to happen, it honestly sounded like she was trying to make that noise. So definately time to watch the language now around the small child, since she is apparently a very smart baby.
Its incredible that she will be a year old in like three months. Its surreal to me that my little itty bitty baby that feels like she was born yesterday is about to be a big girl. Time just goes by too fast. The most amazing blessings in life go by fast.
Being a mother is great and I wouldn't change it for anything at all, Bella is the best daughter in the world and I am lucky that I get to be her mother!
Happy 9 Months Baby Girl.

Eight Months...
Today is July 9, 2010 that means that Bella is eight months old. My how time flies on by. It is almost not fair that they don't stay little longer. I still feel like it was yesterday that she came into the world, and now before I know it she will be off to college and out of the house. Anyway on a happier note, Bella is just growing like a little weed.. at her 6 month appointment, she hasn't been since 6 months since that is just how they do it, she was 18 pounds 1 ounces and 27.5 inches long. She is getting so big. She is now in size 12 months, if you are going by height, which they do. I cannot believe that in like 3 and a half months I will be having a first birthday party for my little girl. We, me and Ricky, decided last night we should probably start trying to save money for it. This is going to be a big big time.
Some milestones that Bella is finally reaching is that she is able to roll over, she started doing this when we were visiting my dad in Indiana, she was rolling from her tummy to her back and back to her tummy. So she was a little over 7 months old when she started doing that!
As for a crawling aspect we are still not there yet, but that is okay because that means I get to cuddle her a little bit longer. I am afraid that once she actually starts being mobile that she will just go go go and not want to cuddle mommy anymore, and she is my little Nugs Bunny. Haha I call her that because its like a mixture of Snuggle and it sounds like Bugs Bunnys. :D
She does however have two teeth, and right now they are on the bottom, however, there is a top tooth it is RIGHT there you can see it but its not in.. the gum is still on it. It is really red and swollen so I think it definately is causing her some pain, which is never okay with me.
I love Bella and being her mother, she is sooo silly.
ALSO before I forget, she is also saying, "Hey Dada" and it sounds so cute, she hasn't quite made the connection that Dada is Ricky, but she will make that connection one day, Ricky told me the other day when I left for a job interview that she cried and said, "Mama" but I just don't believe that because I haven't heard her say it.
Well I think that is all I am going to say for now, and really all I have to say for now. So I guess until next time, which will probably be at the end of the month for her 9 month appointment.

Teething..Spitting...Coughing.
So it seems to have finally started happening. I am sure Bella is teething now. She has been SOOO fussy the past couple days, and NOTHING helps. She has been sooo fussy that going to class is actually a blessing, I get a 3 hour break. Orajel pisses her off, I am sure she doesnt like the way it tastes. She got so mad at my mom the other night for putting it in her mouth she wouldn't even look at her for like an hour, and trust me my mom tried. I have heard the first tooth takes the longest, awesome.
Bella has learned to spit now with her tongue. Like the gesture people do if they don't like something and they spit everywhere with the help of their tongue. Yeah, my daughter can do that now and how I figured that out was kind of funny. I decided we needed to go to Once Upon A Child and get the kid some clothes, since she has none. I put her down in her stroller because she was too heavy to carry, and instead of crying, she spit at me. Haha it was quite funny but at the same time I was like awesome she is going to be mean. She does it all the time now and Ricky said he is pretty sure she likes the way it feels on her mouth. Haha like it vibrates your lips when you do that. I don't know, but that is my daughter.
Another thing she has picked up on... fake coughing. I know it isn't real coughing because she does it at weird times with weird intervals. Mostly it is when I am not paying attention to her, and I think that it is when she doesn't want strangers to look at her. Like for instance, we were at Wal Mart the other day, and this lady came up and talked to her, well she looked at me adn started fake coughing, and I can also tell it is fake because I have heard real coughing. I think the lady thought she was sick because she looked at her and said bye. Haha. Then I think she does it to get my attention, because I was telling my parents about it yesterday and wasn't paying attention to her and all the sudden she started doing it. haha it is like she has figured me out, and that is how she thinks she can get my attention. It is super cute, but omgsh my daughter is smart.
SPECIAL EVENTS:

Shopping, Home Life.. Crazy
Shopping, Home Life, Crazy.
They said it wasn't gonna be easy...
I went to Once Upon A Child today with Bella. I was packing the other day and decided to pack up her baby clothes she couldn't wear anymore, and save them in case I ever have another one and it happens to be a girl. I was there for like two hours, the first hour I found clothes, but I was wanting to actually look and my fussy child wanted to be held and that didn't help with anything. So I walked around the store for an hour to get her to sleep. Then I spent the next hour looking through clothes size 6 to 9 months. I FINALLY decided on clothes two onesies and two blue jeans shorts, oh and another swimsuit. Then I noticed right before check out that the child had pee'd through her pants, awesome. So we paid and went home.
When I get home we pass daddy on the side of the road, and I talk to him til we get in the car, and I am all crazy and not paying attention. I get out of the car and press the lock button, and guess what is in the car, my phone, keys, oh and Bella. So I call Ricky and tell him he needs to come home, well we get off the house phone and then I notice somehow my door isnt locked, so I open it and call Ricky back and let him know he doesn't have to come back. Uhh so I get the child into the house and change her outfit and diaper, fun times. Then I feed her, and try to put her in her swing to let her go to sleep but no she starts screaming. So I feed her a little more bottle, and she goes to sleep.
Fun day, plus Bella has learned to spit with her tongue now and she did that to me in the stroller at Once Upon A Child, crazy kid. I absolutely love being her mommy, she the most spoiled little thing, but I honestly would not ever ask for a different baby or a different personality haha. Bella even picked a dress at Once Upon A Child, well I say that but she saw it and grabbed at it, so we got it.

Bella's Fourth Month...
Bella's Fourth Month...
My precious baby...
So we are all caught up now and about to add another month on Saturday. Whew, 5 months almost. It still seems like she was born yesterday. She is so big now, she smiles, laughs, CAN ALMOST SIT UP ALONE. She sits up if you sit her up, and everyday the amount of time she stays up is getting better and better. She has been to the Zoo and the Aquarium now. The Zoo she didn't care about not one bit, and the Aquarium, well she loved it. She tried to pet the jellyfish through the glass and then leaned in to try to look better and hit her head on the glass :D. She is getting amazingly big now. I love her sooo much. I recently read about a baby a little older than Bella by about a week or two, that had died of SIDS and it has made me realize that I love her so much. It makes me feel bad for ever thinking, "You are getting on my nerves" because in all honesty, she has gotten on my nerves, she has made me mad. I have never been so mad at her that I have to leave the room though that kind of action seems silly to me, for now, when she gets sassy though then I will probably do that, but she will be able to follow me. Haha. It just makes me want to cuddle her though since the death of that other baby, it really hit close to home, probably because the age. It really is a unexplainable kind of love though that I have for her, I don't have it for anyone else, and never will unless i have another child. You can only know this love when you are a mother or father yourself. It just makes me want to "Carpe Diem" but with Bella. I just want to spend everyday with her, and never miss a thing without smuthering her too much to where she won't be her own independent person because I intrude, but I just want her to know that I will always love her. I have realized recently my biggest fear is I will die and she will be too young to remember me, and have to remember me through pictures. I want her to have her own memories of me, I want her to remember who I am and I want her to have her own opinion of me and not have to hear what I was like through other people. I want her to know I loved her, and not have her hear from others that I did.
It is a very real fear, because tomorrow is not for sure. I love her so much, and she is changing so much. It is crazy. I want to slow down time, make it slower. I want more time with her. She is going to be five months old on Saturday, then after that 6 months, then a year, then 18 and moving on with her life. I don't know how I am going to deal with her being 18, but I wonder all the time how she is going to be when she is that old. I will love her no matter what but it is always fun to picture how they will be, but of course you wish them to be better then you were. Avoid the mistakes you made.
my favorite soo far, at almost 5 months old. Sitting up alone :D

Bella's Third Month...
Bella's Third Month...
So the personality begins...
Bella is definately growing up too fast. Still on formula and still doing good. Got a really good New Year picture of her smiling soo big. She is starting to get fun, she likes to play now and definately getting spoiled. She smiles now and it is soo amazing what you will do to see her smile. It is remarkable how much you can love someone you have known for three months. She is getting better about sleeping through the night, maybe wakes up once if at all, and gets up early.
Happy New Years
