she is 1 and a half!!!

That is right just 6 short months ago she was doing this.  Now she has changed so much. Now she walks (ok runs),  now she talks (kind of)  and has  so much more hair (for her) .    

anyways I just love this little girl so much.  she is so much fun!

Here is some stuff about Bella at 18 months

  She loves to eat and will eat pretty much everything you give her.  she just recently started throwing food on the floor (I hate that, foods wasted, and dirtys my floor and wall...) oh well.

   She is the best sleeper she goes to sleep at 7 at night and wakes up around 7 too.  She would sleep longer I know but Parker walks by her room when he gets up and everyday without  fail he wakes her up.  He says he is tiptoeing but I guess she is a very light sleeper that time of morning. She still takes one nap after lunch for a few hours.  At night when we get ready for bed I ask her is she wants to go to sleep and she squeals and run to her room as she waves to anyone in the room and blows them kisses.  It is hilarious!   Ever since she was born she has loved going to sleep.  Finally a child who loves to sleep and realizes it is such a good thing and doesn't fight it like most other kids.   It might be that she loves her pacifier so much she is so excited  to have it again.  It stays in her crib during the day.   She starts giggling when I give it to her.

She loves milk too when I get it ready she can hardly stand her self  so happy and rubbing her tummy saying please in sign language and saying her little form of "peas..."

 

She loves to read I always find her sitting there looking at books.

• She loves to play and do anything with her brother.  They love hide and go seek and chase.  
• She also LOVES her baby dolls,  she holds them to her face and gives the baby kisses repeatedly like 20 -30 times in a row.  she is so funny.
•   She thinks she is just as big as her brother and will do anything he does.  At the playground she fearlessly goes down every slide she can climb up to which is all of them.  She will not accept anyone going outside without her there.
•   She loves to make animal noises,  she know a lot and loves to read books about them, but whens he sees them in person close to her she is terrified.

 smiles for the camera...rarely

 

 loves her daddy... always

and mommy too

She throws fits like this...... where ever she is.

She loves to drink my smoothies every morning

• She hates to have her hair done. The second she senses a bow or flower on her head she rips it off and comes to find me to return it.  She is getting a bit better but she sees me pull out  rubber-band and she goes running.  She really just hates being held down for anything cutting fingernails, buttoning clothes on her, doing hair, brushing teeth, dr. check ups  etc....
•  she is so good at folding her arms for prayers
• she loves to clean up and after each item she puts away she claps for herself
• she thinks her brother is hilarious and copies his every move.

She is really such a sweet girl who makes me so happy everyday.  can't believe my baby is so big.  I love you Bells!
