Here are some of Bella’s new faces… they get better with each passing day.  Enjoy:)

Bella is a sieve… she drools and drools so we’ve been using a lot of bibs to catch the surplus.  As you can see she doesn’t really appreciate when we take them off.  Yeah, you could also say that she doesn’t like it when her daddy messes with her:)  She’s still a cutie-pie though.

Bella learned how to roll from her tummy to her back.  She’s getting to be such a big girl.  Much more alert and cooing a lot.  She’ll actually carry on a conversation with you.

All these pictures are from our visit to Bill’s families cabin in Packwood.

check out all these silly Bella faces.

Heather’s coworker, Michelle, and her daughter, Brooke came over for to hang out.  Brooke enjoyed Bella’s mat just as much as Bella.  Too cuties:)

I can’t really explain it, but there is something magical about a sleeping baby:)  As grandma Teri would say, ’she’s the cutest little porta-bella around.’

Bella loves being on her mat and staring into the mirror.  There is a wonderful song by  Carly Simon titled ‘You’re So Vain’ that I think of when she’s on her mat.  I’m beginning to think Bella is excessively proud of her own apperance and qualities:) 

Jet is such a big helper, sometimes too big of a helper.  He always wants to copy the way his mom and dad interact with his sister which can be problematic.  I should have never let her taste food because Jet tries to let her taste everything.
In this clip Jet does a great job consoling his little sister.

Mom and Bella find some time to catch a few zzzzzz’s during the day.
