Bella!





Hello! We hope everyone is doing great.  It's been a very busy and crazy month here at our household.  We sold our house, which closes on June 9th.  So as of June 1st all three of us (and Lucky) will be moving into the Watson house until our new home is ready.  We will be staying there for a couple of weeks.  Thanks Mom and Dad!  We hope and pray that everything goes through with our loan on our new house and we will be all moved in and settled before July.  

As for Bella, she's growing like a weed.  She' s over 13 lbs, and very tall.  We go to the doctor on June 1st for her 4 month check up so I will get her exact height then, but I'm guessing she's about 26 in.  We have had about three solid weeks of GREAT sleep.  She sleeps about 9 hours, then between 5:30 and 6 am she wakes up, Ben gets her and changes her, then he brings her to me, she eats, and we both sleep for another 2-3 hours.  It's been so nice to get full nights of sleep again.  In the beginning I thought we would never get to this point.

Bella has also been talking up a storm, and she's started to do this thing where she blows bubble with her lips while making lots of noises. (If you can even picture that, I'll have to try to get it on the flip to show you).  She's rolled over from her front to back a few times, and loves to stand.  We think she may be an early walker like me.  We still go to baby bootcamp twice a week and she loves her play dates with her BFF's Halle and Kendall.

On May 16th Bella got baptized by Father Mike Healy.  It was a very special day, and we would like to thank everyone who was there to witness it.  Bella did great during the baptism.  She didn't cry, and when he poured the water over her head she got a surprised look on her face followed by a huge smile.  She did great!

This weekend we are headed over to Seascape for Memorial Day, we got the okay from the doctor to put her in the pool, so we'll see how she does.  I think she'll like it because she loves her baths.  I will update with pictures from her first swim after the weekend!

Here are some pictures of Bella and her friends!
