Trip to the Park & more Butt Bouncing...

Last night mom let me go to sleep with my hair wet... when I woke up this morning it was SUPER curly...



Mom bought a book of easy kids activities and one of them was to fill a bottle and make noisemakers! It's entertained me all day!


This morning it was very overcast... but it also means it wasn't as hot... so we went to the park... it was a perfect 78 degrees!


We fed the ducks my gerber puffs (see the little ducklings)...


Then they called over all their ducky friends and we had quite a crowd...


"Mom look at all the ducks"


"Ok get in line and my mommy will give you food..."


Then the goose showed up and scared away the ducks and scared me even more! Bad goose!


So it was time to swing... I always enjoy swinging.


Oh and snack time too...


Mom realized today that I had never sat in grass... she's allergic so she was afraid I might be too, but I didn't seem to mind it...



"Mom it's kind of itchy..."


Here's another butt bouncing video... mom was singing OutKast's "Hey Ya" to me.

A Comparison...

Mom says this post is proof that I do occasionally wear an outfit more than once... we've pretty much been through all of my 6 to 12 month clothes at least once and now we are repeating Mom says taking pictures of me in clothes I've already worn isn't as fun, but she thought a comparison might make it a little better.

The pictures with the big bows are from June 3rd (right as I was cutting my two bottom teeth)... do I look different?




Mom thinks in the past two months I've really transitioned from looking like a baby to a little girl... what do yall think?




If you enlarge this picture you can see where my top two teeth are coming in... the gumline has changed ALOT in the last week and my gums have little blisters on them that HURT!

2 day post...

SATURDAY
My Saturday and Sunday weren't that exciting... just trying to wait out this teething thing and stay comfortable in the miserable August heat...

"If I teeth on the tylenol bottle will it work faster?"


"Come on mom it won't hurt to try..."


Maggie and I hanging out on the floor trying to stay cool...



SUNDAY
Has mom told yall that I picked a blanket... it's purple, waffle weave and I love it. I sleep with it every night and every nap and sometimes when mom gets me out of my bed I bring it with me... I'm pretty attached to it. Mom told dad tonight that she is going to buy a second one and start switching them out in case I loose it or something happens (she thinks I didn't hear her).

Look baby Mother Teresa


"Do I look angelic?"


"Maybe I'll go as a ghost for Halloween.. Am I scary?"


"Yeah daddy I was hiding under there"


"Blankie I love you"...


Mom was cooking me some carrots for dinner and needed me to stay occupied for a few minutes so she pulled out two pieces of tupperware... worked PERFECTLY!

Babbling & Laughing

Here are three videos featuring my babbling, laughing & my newest skill... tongue vibrating!!! It's like rolling your "r"s in spanish... Mom is pretty amazed that I can already do that because it was something she loved to do as a kid.

Chocolate Ice Cream & New Jersey

Who needs toys when you've got things like measuring tapes laying around the house? Mom was trying to measure me the other day and I decided that it was a great toy!


"Does this really mean I'm not getting any more new toys?"


"I can have some new toys... you promise?"


"YAY!"


Do you know what tomorrow is? It's the 1st COWBOYS Pre-season game!!! WOO HOO!

Mom decided I needed a jersey to support my 'Boys...


"Seriously mom? We have Cowboys tomorrow????"


Yep, I support Tony Romo (mom likes Jason Witten)...


Note from mom: Seriously how cute is this jersey? We bought it in 18 months so she can grow into it, but it's SO freaking cute!


We watched an episode of Hard Knocks this afternoon so I could see my Tony.


Tonight we went to Chilis for dinner... I love playing with coasters... they are GREAT chew toys!


Guess what just opened up by our house? BASKIN ROBBINS!!!!

Mom decided she's been holding out on me with the chocolate ice cream for way too long (since I haven't shown any signs of food allergies) and BOY did I like it better than vanilla!!!


Mom also gave me the end of her sugar cone... mmmmm....


"What do I have something on my face?"


Daddy got artistic with the macro setting...


Contemplating what flavor ice cream I want to try next...

The Swimming Baby Ballerina...

Today I had my last swim class... While I'm not exactly "swimming" yet, I definitely don't mind going under the water and I REALLY enjoy kicking up a storm!




"Hey Bella, where have you been?"


My weekly after-swim picture... I was enjoy being naked and wrapped in a warm towel.


If you don't know by now, mommy was a ballet dancer when she was a kid. Now she just dances with me around the kitchen, but she is hopeful that I'll dance someday.

She bought this shirt and ballet skirt for me last September when I was just a belly bump. I LOVE it!







Here's the whole look...


Mom let me wear a simpler skirt to the mall to meet up with Corbin...


Mommy thought it would be fun for us to ride the little carousel. SO much fun!


"Mommy I'm all by myself!"


Look how wild my hair is getting!!!


It's mad scientist hair!
