First Halloween Party

We had a Halloween party with our playgroup. Of course it was more for the parents than the kids, most of them didn't like being in costume. The parents of course loved it though - the kids looked so cute! We did a baking exchange as well so how could you not love that, yummy baked goods!

Scarecrow, Lion, Bee, Monkey, Fireman, Chicken, Pumpkin.

First Cold

Poor little Bella has her first cold. Trying to wipe a girls nose is not fun : ( Using the little sucker is even worse! As much as we don't want her to grow up too fast we can't wait until she can blow her nose. Or at least understand that we aren't trying to attack her with the tissue and blue rubber bulb suction monstrosity.

6th Month Check up

Bella, had her 6th Month check up today. It was at the same time as her morning nap, so was exhausted...poor little thing. She cried during her shots of course, and also got the first of two flu shots (she will get the second booster one in a month). The doctor suggested that we get the shot even though she isn't in daycare, but because we are in so many play groups. Thankfully, Tylenol made her feel better for most of the day. Her doctor was really pleased to see that she was trying to crawl, and that she could sit up so well. She didn't think that would be the case, because kids who are so chubby usually have a tougher time being so active. Nothing is stopping little Miss Bella though - although we would really like her to wait to crawl for the new house....I can always dream : )

Bella weighs in at 20 pounds 2 ounces, and is 28 inches long!!! So that rates her as off the charts - or greater then 97% (which is where they stop measuring). Her head is 44 3/4 cm, which means she is in the 95 percentile of girls her age. Our little peanut sure is smart, and well I guess not all that little : )
