Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Baby Bell! We love you more than you can imagine.

Good to bad fast...

One of Bell's favourite things to do these days is to draw on the sidewalk with her chalk. After they finished drawing, Nana and Papa took her to an open house across the street - which is one of their favourite things to do : ) While they were looking around the house, Bell let out a man sized burp. Apparently, my mom thought it was my dad with no manners - nope that was our Bell. A couple of seconds later she started throwing up all over the place - poor thing! My dad came rushing home with Bell covered in vomit, to get her cleaned up. While mom stayed behind to clean up the mess. Thankfully, it was on the hard wood and not carpet. We are hoping that she just ate too many banana chips, and that it isn't the flu.

I'm a big girl now!

For the past couple of weeks Bell hasn't been interested in sitting on the potty. Previously, she wanted to sit on the potty every time we changed her diaper. Which was great, no pressure, we just wanted her to have fun, even though she still hadn't produced anything.

Today things seemed to be a little different. Bell and I were taking a shower together this morning; she was making a strange face and playing with her bits. I asked her if she wanted to use the potty, "Ya"! I called for Gabe to bring us the potty. She sat on it in the shower while playing with her wall paints, and Gabe and I signing song with her. "I peed Mama"! She may never pee again, because she won't always have the fun of the shower, songs, and art :) Who knows what will happen, no pressure...

They grow up so fast!

Part of my conversation with Bella this morning:

Bella: Money please, Mama.

Me: Here you are Bella. (Hand Bella my purse containing money, and keys)

Bella: Thank you Mama. Cards please, Mama

Me: Here you are Bella. (Hand Bella some old gift cards)

Bella: Ok bye, bye Mama. (Waves, signs I love you, and walks to the door)

Me: Where are you going?

Bella: Coffee with girlfriends! (Looking at me like I should have known this all along)

At least she knows what she needs to take with her when she meets the ladies : )
