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.
