The best baby of the year award goes to: Bella!!!


oh what a wonderful baby! let me just start off by saying that last night she slept from 10:30pm til 6:30am that is eight hours straight!!! she has always been a wonderful sleeper but that is just incredible since she has been born, not one night has she gotten up more than twice or even stayed up all that long. she usually wakes up sometime from 3:30-5:30 to eat and then right back to bed. she is great during the day too. around dinner time (conveniently) is her fussy time, but most of the time it is not even all that bad. For her two month appointment a week and a half ago he said she was just perfect. she weighed 6.10 when she was born and she was 10.11 at 2 months (47%) exactly 2 pounds a month. perfect! and she has grown another 2 inches to 23" (87%).
She eats about every three hours and then plays for a bit and then sleeps. She still loves Parker and knock on wood he still loves her too. he always wants to know what she is doing and then reports it to me every two seconds, like "mommy she sleeping, then a loud noise and a poke, oh mommy she awake, awake, oh she crying mommy she crying mommy". All while I am sitting right there. and every time she cries he says " her more eating mommy, more eating" and pulls on my shirt! too funny. he is just very concerned for her.
In the past few weeks she has started smiling too. I have been very slow to catch it on camera, but I have a few. they are always better in person, but these are pretty close and cute. we all just love her to pieces!
