A day in the life....

Wednesdays and Friday afternoons I'm able to work from home. (The other days Mike is home doing the following schedule but with school work and papers.) So, our normal day is mixed with feedings, work, diapers, nap, work, feedings, work, diapers, walmart runs, dinner prep, work, diapers...but, so much fun! It's amazing the amount of work you can get done when you know you have a limited amount of time before the cycle starts again. Right now she's in her swing blowing bubbles and playing with her toys. Then, a random squeal and smile and making-funny-noises with her mouth happens! I thought i'd upload fun pics from the day to show a little of our day-in-the-life of Bella and mommy (working and playing).

Sleeping...she likes to cover her face lately...and she's still sucking her thumb, fingers, or all at once! Grandmother (Bella's great-grandmother) notice the blanket she sleeps with everyday! Love you!

Wake time! When we go in there and say hello she smiles and looks around until she finds us. It's so cute when she's looking all over before she sees us. Yes, we LOVE this time!
Change time! Yesterday, I put her in an outfit that was too small but, by golly, I made it work. (Mike said i'm in denial and i'm not arguing with him.) So, I put her in the outfit below which turned out to be form fitting on that cute, big tummy and capris. She's just workin' it! And, hey it's spring so pants turning into capris is ok, right?! She's so cute and "rolly" right now so her little tummy budging out of that shirt was so cute. Allison and Mike laughed at it when they saw her.

So, we changed outfits! It's challenging putting outfits on her nowadays because she grabs her feet or your hands or hair or glasses.

Swinging...uhm, poor kid looks bored. I guess my writing grant application letters or publications aren't exciting to her.

Bumbo time on the play mat. She'll grab the butterflies and pull them down as hard as she can. Then stick them all in her mouth. Then, she'll grab the lion thing and stick it in her mouth. Then, she'll grab the toucan and stick it in her mouth. Then, it's onto the giraffe...you get the idea. Drool baby lives on!

Helping mommy wash bottles and dishes. Look at that double chin! She's started sticking out her tongue a little bit and squinching her nose when she smiles.

And, night time bath...yes, she grabs her feet most of the time in there too.
