Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that yesterday was Thanksgiving but we wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are of you all! We are so blessed with wonderful family and awesome friends in our lives. We wish we could of course be closer to all our family but we love you all the same! SO much! We have so much to be thankful for this year. Blake and I were blessed with such a wonderful bundle of joy in June, we both still have jobs, we have an awesome roof over our head, bountiful food on our table, and great health! Everything else is just a cherry and whipped cream on top!

Belle was able to join in on the good food! Well sort'a kind of. She had her first taste of "solid foods" yesterday. She is a little over five months and is ready for real food. We started her on rice cereal. She did really well. She started to get upset about being in the Bumbo more than anything. But I think over all she liked the food.

Sorry for the Wait!

I am really sorry for the long wait! We got a new camera. It is Blake and mine Christmas present to ourselves. Then I went out of town on Sunday to Iowa City to see my Aunt and Uncle. Oh and of course I've been addicted to the Twilight serious. I've been trying to get them all read. There is four books in the serious and I'm only on three. The second book just came out in a movie. I love them all! Everyone should read them they're delicious reading!! It was wonderful being able to see my Aunt and Unlce! I love them so much and wish we were all closer to eachother so we could spend more time together. I want Belle to love my crazy hairbrained Aunt as much as I do!! Love you, Aunt Lisa!!

Anyways Belle is rolling over all the time. She gets more and more intrigued by things. If you have anything on your shirt she wants to grab it. She's getting awesome at using her hands. She has to be strapped in in her bouncer 'cuz she'll wiggle her way almost out of it. I have pictures! I like I said sorry its been a while but here are some new pics of our precious!

We have a rolly polly!

Last night Blake went to change Belle's diaper and she rolled over! She's been getting really good at rolling to her side. But tonight she went completely for it!! She did it like five times. We were able to get it on video tape. I did take some pictures but they won't do it justice! I was expecting this. The last week Belle has been getting more and more squirmy. She's gotten really good at using her hands and arms so it was only time! We are so proud of her! She's such a big girl!

Go Bears Go!

We got Belle another adorable Bears outfit! The Bears are on tonight. Now if they'll win may be another story but we'll have our fingers crossed!

Updates!

I just wanted to update ever one on what Belle has been doing now. It's obvious that she is getting better control of her arms and legs. She is now really rolling to her side. Only when she is straining to see something will she roll completely over. But she has started to sleep on her side. I'll put her down on her back and she'll roll herself to her side. Its quit funny! She is doing really well at pushing off with her arms. But she is still love that tongue of hers. She's also found her toes so when ever her socks are off she wants to eat them. It's always funny to see kids bend like a pretzel to eat their feet! She is getting bigger every day!

Ho Ho Ho Santa!

Last Saturday Belle and I ventured out to the Guard for the kids Christmas party. There were activities for those old enough, food and of course old saint nick. It was Belle's first time experiencing Santa and she did awesome! We saw Josiah who she wanted to eat! That was funny! She looked at him like "Mmm You look good!" Belle was able to see alot of good friends we hadn't seen for a while. We are definitely ready for Christmas!
