6 month update

We had our 6 month checkup last week. And, Miss B did great! She smiled at her doctor which made it hard to get through the visit...Dr. Saenz kept smiling back and playing. Bella is now 26 inches long and 16 pounds 9 ounces, putting her at 80% height and 50-60% weight. Right on track and tall...wonder where she gets that from. Dr. Saenz went to lay her down to assess her and Bella kept raising up her feet and head like she wanted to sit up! She might be a yoga girl when she gets older!

This week has been full of "firsts".

1. She said "da da" along with babbles of all other sorts. She keeps findings syllables and I think it surprises her, shown by her facial expressions after she says them. Hearing her say "da da" is precious!! It also sounds like she's saying "hi" when we first go get her up. And, last night I heard her say "I love Mommy"...ok, just kidding. This momma's tryin' to get some love!

2. She has her first tooth! Say What! It broke through this morning. Mike noticed when Bella wanted to suck on his thumb, not her own.

3. When she's fussy, we can usually pat her mouth and she'll sound like an indian. Lately she thinks it's something to suck on. She'll get so excited and stick out her tongue as FAR as it will go and pant like a dog. Hysterical! We'll have to get that on video soon and upload it.

4. We made a quick Sunday visit to Grammy and PawPaw in Houston and had a great time playing with them.

Dancing with daddy!!!!
And, a cute "Bella" expression!
