So, when your child is being quiet and you are actually getting things accomplished that is when you should be curious as to what they are really up to! Here is what Bella is smiling about, I should have known she was accomplishing something too!

The first morning without Daddy for awhile and Bella starts off with a BANG!

I realize that a big part of being a kid is taking a bath in the kitchen sink (because let's face it, when else is that really acceptable,right?!). So when Bella had an "accident" while she was running around without a diaper I just put her in the closest place where she could sit, protected and entertained. Surprise, she LOVES sitting in the kitchen sink...........go figure! Let the adventures begin.........

We miss John already!

This was Daddy having a little fun with Bella..........................some days we have more time on our hands, can you tell!?

Bella was being helpful in the kitchen, basically that means she is staying out from under our feet and away from the hot oven!

Bella is practicing her perfect form on this one!

This is the latest attempt for us to get Bella to expand her horizons. She was not sure what to think of this at first, but John showed her how much fun a little buggy can be!

Bella was such a little water bug during her swimming lessons, but today she was not so sure!

Tubby Time

Tubby time is an absolute favorite in this household. Yesterday John found the cutest little "hanging ten duck" EVER!!! It covers the metal facet so Bella does not smack her head off of it, perfect for our little diva who only wants to stand................all of the time!

This was after a long day of traveling, so we

were both easily entertained! She just thought

it was sooooooooo funny when I was trying to

use my feet to throw her pants in the air and

catch them. She is so easily entertained!

Here is a video to show how proud Bella is that

she is "running" now. Not too much longer though

and she will not need to support of her father to do this!
