To Sleep! Or Not To Sleep?!

I have started Belle on a routine now. I've been letting her decide when she wants to sleep and eat and now it's biting me in the butt. The last couple of months Belle would not eat much during the day then cluster feed at night. That was okay (at first) 'cuz her bed is right next to mine. I would just wake up, feed her, and go back to bed. Well it'd not cool waking up like four times a night. So after talking with my best friend (Mellisa) I decided to get Belle on a routine. She is doing good, at times. Like when daddies home we get off it. That's okay cuz it's daddy! But she's doing good at taking scheduled naps throughout the day. And at night she'll do okay at going to bed. But the pitiful part is just how pitiful she is! She is so over dramatic!!!! When putting her down in her bed (upstairs) she'll sit up and hold onto the sides and just cry, wanting us to pick her up. And trust me it's hard. Most of the time it's 'cuz she's tired and doesn't know yet how to put herself to sleep. But the funniest thing is now she'll sit up, cry, then fall face first over 'cuz she's so tired. And she'll did that a couple of times. It's not funny but it is! For her naps we have our baby monitor up in her room so I watch what she's doing.
















P.S. There was and is total supervision for this blog. No child was injured or harmed in any way in the making of this blog. And no we do not leave her slouched over!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub!

I was over at Grandp' Parker's tonight and cousin Josie was there. Grandma decided to give Josie a bath and Belle joined in! Belle loves her bath time. And you can see it's even more fun with company! Belle loved to watch Josie splash the water! Josie would splash then Belle would copy. It was funny! Josie and Belle got all pruny! That always meant you got good and clean!








Do we really have to get out?

7 Months!

"HI!"
Blake and I can hardly believe that it's been seven months already. Belle is doing so much now. She is truly growing up to be a great baby girl. God blessed us with such a wonderful little person and we couldn't be happier! Here are some pictures I took today.



I'm talking to you. I jabber all the time!!


She's saying "Hi-i-i-i!"

I love my toy!



Out of my way I'm coming through!

Crawling?...

So for the last week Belle has been showing signs of crawling. But it's not until the last two days that she will do it constantly! Today when I was trying to get ready for work Belle got up on her knees and hands and started to bounce her butt. She moved her hands forward as she bounce. But she wasn't quite sure what to do from there. You can see her thinking hard about it! "What to do from here?" She's tries so hard! She'll move back really good but not forward. The other thing is now she wants to pull herself up! At Parker's the other day she just started to pull herself up the chair. She is so incredibly strong once she gets to crawling it want be long before she's standing. She already wants to do it! I've been taking a lot of pictures of it for all of you but they don't do it justice! There may be a lot of pictures so bare with me.














I can get up!!
