Pho - yumm!

Bell may have a new favourite food. This afternoon we had Pho for lunch, and Bell was in heaven! She would use her fingers to put the noodles into the Chinese style spoon, then try and eat the noodles out of the spoon. If she wasn't able to get the noodles out of the spoon with her mouth, she would then take them out with her fingers and plop them in her mouth. A little later on she figured out that if she sucked it would slurp into her mouth quite fast...loved it!! She was even a little disappointed when it was all gone.

New walk...

Bella has been walking for months - she usually runs everywhere she goes. Today, while we were volunteering she was in the classroom and she started doing this strange new walk. She started walking across the room on her knees. She was upright, but walking/wobbling along on her knees, as though she had no feet. Not the fastest mode of transportation, but pretty cute to watch!

She has also started saying Tracey and Wendy names "Trace, and End"...

Track star in the making...

A little back story...

I'm in training for the Seattle marathon at the end of the month. I'm only doing the half, but 13 miles is still further than I have run before. If all goes to plan, I will be running the Seattle Rock n' Roll marathon in June 2009 - the full 26 miles!

Why am I writing about this - and what does it have to do with Bella? She has taken to wearing my headband, running shoes, and running jacket around the house! Then wanting to drink my gatorade, while sorting through all of my gu's and powerbars! We have a little athlete in the making : )

Checking it twice...

Bell, is currently sitting in the hallway reviewing all of today's receipts. She is following along each item line with her finger - making sure we weren't over charged : ) Our CFO in the making!!

Swibi Swibi!!

Our girl loves to pretend! Today, I was walking down the hall and found her lying on the floor kicking her legs, saying "swibi, swibi" (swimming, swimming). Swimming in the bath tub is one of her favourite things to do, both on her front and back. Apparently, it is time for me to look into swimming classes, or taking her to the local pool!

Bed Hog!!

This is one of the reasons why we transitioned Bell to her crib : ) She weighs 25 pounds, and is less than 3 feet tall, but she still managed to take up the majority of a king size bed. The other reason we moved her out is because she has started doing tae kwon do in her sleep. We got didn't like getting kicked and punched - a 4am heel in the eye sucks!!

Our Canadian girl

I bought Bell and new touque (winter hat) the other day because it is getting chilly here on these rainy fall days. It doesn't help that she is still bald : ) So now she walks around the house saying "touque, touque" while wearing it and one mitten, trying her best to get the second mitten on....hilarious to watch!
