Here is our little explorer charging through the living room!



This is her new smile, of sorts. I call it her "scrunchy
face" and I think it is her way of smiling "big" when
she is really excited!


She is a complete camera ham though, once she sees
a camera it is like the rest of the world just
melts away.............we are in trouble!

This is Bella's new game. She loves when you put her down on the comforter and let her sink down..............must be more comfortable than the floor, so I cannot say I blame her!

This was Bella's first trip to the zoo. Alamogordo has a little zoo with animals that have been rescued and then cared for until their health returned (a fact I appreciate if you know anything about me and zoos). Sara was taking care of Bella so I got a little time off. Sara was showing Bella all of the animals, she was a great help! Thanks Sara!!


I love this "action shot" with the sea otter. Bella has clearly something more interesting in her stroller................guess that is babies for you!

This is where Bella has started to spend some time while I need to use the computer. Now that she is crawling it is hard to know where she is if I am not in the room with her. You can tell she is longing for "freedom" while she is in her pack n play though! She loves to look out into the front yard, very entertaining!

We decided to have breakfast and lunch out on the back porch today, it was so nice outside. Plus, daddy was working outside so Bella wanted to be with him rather than in the stuffy house.
