15 month update

This post is late but there's been alot going on in our household lately. I'll have to blog about those things later. But I wanted to update everyone on what Bella's been up to these past few weeks.

1. She has 3 more teeth! - 2 more on top and 1 on bottom.
2. She is saying "cheese" "thank you" "love you" and "Alli" (for Aunt Allison)

3. She likes to eat avacados, bananas, pretzels, pasta, bread, tomatoes, grapes. I gave her a big helping on grapes, cantaloupe, and pineapple. She separated them all into their respective piles, pushed the canataloupe into the cup holder of her highchair, and ate the grapes and pineapple. what?

4. She is 20 pounds and 30 inches long and you can definitely tell she's losing some of her baby weight.
5. She is running, running, running!
6. She is finally drinking from the sippy cup! woohoo! Still nursing, but sippy cups throughout the day.
7. She is still taking two naps a day - one long one in the morning and a shorter one in the afternoon/early evening.
8. She is going to daycare one and a half days a week at our church. Mike's semester this time requires him to go to school three days a week so we put her in daycare the days I have to work or he has to go to school. So far so good. The daycare worker said she is doing great, which makes a momma happy.
9. She likes to wave!

10. She has started coming to sit down in our laps with a book. Yes it melts our hearts, little cutie. Then she'll just lounge and we'll read. My favorite this week? "I love you through and through".



Well, this post is short and lacks wit. But, we're all sick right now with a yucky stomach bug. Bella got it over the weekend, and then my mom, grandmother, three aunts, an uncle and a cousin got it too. Then Mike and I got it yesterday. Thankfully, Grammy came in last night to help out. And, help she certainly is!

Here's the monthly giraffe pictures.
