Oh, that silly Bell-Bell!

- Bella has started biting her fingernails. And she's not pretending- she's really biting them!

- The other day, I was having a stressed-out moment where I was rubbing my eyes in frustration and then stopped and said "BLAH" loudly. For those of you who know me well, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. It's what I do when I'm stressed. Well, my little parrot spent the next twenty minutes rubbing her own eyes and then saying "bah!" and giggling like crazy. Obviously my stress level dropped and I was laughing too!

- Last week I was talking with Irene and Bella was trying to get my attention- "Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama." I admit it, I wasn't paying attention. I was really focusing on what Irene and I were talking about. Well, Bella reached up, put one hand on each of my cheeks and physically turned my head to face her and then said "Mama! Milk!" What could I do but laugh and say "I'm sorry sweetie. Do you want some milk?"

- Here's a video of Bella with a bowl of ice cream. Notice Jack. Notice -and laugh- over the fact that I have a plastic tablecloth over my linen ones (after changing the tablecloth every other day for a couple of weeks, I wised up!). I correct Bella a couple of times during this video, but decided it would be fun to basically "see what happened". This is the real deal.


Here's a series of photos from this morning





- A new era: when I went in to get her after her nap, this is what I saw-


Bare feet? Bare legs? I assure you she was not like that when I put her in there! How long until the diaper is off too???

Oh, spoons are for eating?! I thought they were just there to make that clink-clink sound in my bowl! :)

I am loving the pigtails. If we don't cut JM's hair soon, he will be sporting them, too.

miss you.

Madi has discovered the joys of de-clothing herself at naptime too and she has the EXACT same look you captured of Bella...this "what?" look...isn't this such a fun age?? Let's meet at McDonalds and let the girls play this afternoon!
