some more pictures








We have a lot to catch up on....

Bella is now almost 10 months, (at the end of this month). I can't believe we are already starting to think about her first birthday! How the time has flown by. Bella started walking right after she turned 9 months old...now that she's almost 10 months, she's a pro, walking everywhere. Her little personality shines through every day. Bella and I are very busy between music class, The Little Gym, Gymboree, and play dates with all of her little friends. It is not uncommon for Bella to hug onto all the other moms at our classes, and during music and Gymboree she is always in the middle of the circle bouncing and clapping to the music. Walking at 9 months has definitely attracted a lot of attention from the other moms, and no one can believe how mobile she is. Bella has 6 teeth now, 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. Teething was a bit rough when the top teeth were coming through. She got a fever and seemed to be in a bit of pain, although it's nothing a little Tylenol could not cure. Bella never ate or really liked baby food after many many attempts. Her favorite foods at the moment are avocado, cherios, chicken, turkey, black beans, cheese, peas, and yogurt melts. Her all time favorite is still her formula, which she drinks about 32 oz a day of. Bella is definitely an easy going baby who goes with the flow....we've yet to encounter a full on temper tantrum at Stanford, although that's maybe because I always buy her whatever she wants...(we just keep that from Daddy)...just kidding...hehe.
It has been so nice now that Bella goes to sleep about 6:45 or 7 until about 6 or 6:30 in the morning. The mornings are not so nice, but I really can't complain...by 8:30 am she is back to bed for her morning nap. Then she takes another nap at about 1:30 or 2. It's amazing how much babies sleep! Although I can understand because she works really hard during the days playing!
Here are some recent videos and pictures:
