Santa!

Sunday Belle and I went to my work for breakfast with Santa. They had a really nice set-up! There was a buffet of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pastries, donuts, biscuits and gravy, and best of all made-to-order pan cakes. They had a candy bar so you can add things like chocolate chips or m&m's to your pan cakes. I was a bit upset that there was not a thing healthy. No fruit or anything. But it was good comfort breakfast food. They were doing face paintings and also had Doug the balloon guy. He can make some wicked animal balloons! I met up with some of my friend from work with their kids and had a fun time. We got to get our picture taken with Santa and he gave us a present. (a collapsible tent, pretty cool)

I want to apologize for the pictures. We had some problems with our camera and some of the pictures may be blurry. So I am sorry!

Computer Problems

We're experiencing some computer problems. We are able to but our SD chip right into our computer and it will pop up our pictures from it. Well the other day I tried it and it wouldn't work. I can't find our E drive that it should be on also. So I'm really sorry. I wanted to put pictures of our Santa experience this weekend but hopefully it will be working soon.

Big News!

Thursday night Blake was feeding Belle her nightly dinner of cereal. I was next to him while he feed her. She's getting better every time she eats and I love to watch her learn and explore. She looked at Blake and the looked at me and said "Mumma"! That's it! We started clapping and cheering at her. She knows who her mommy is!! Now Blake is saying dadda all the time to encourage her to say that. But she's so smart!

She's still getting better at sitting up on her own. I put pillows around her just in case. It's so funny she loves watching Jay Leno. She'll sit still for his whole monologue. It's the funniest when she starts to laugh!

Last night I was giving her her bath and now she likes to sit up. I'll let her play around with the water and her toys at the beginning. But about half way through she slid down a little bit on her elbow. It was funny 'cuz she chilled there for a while! Just hangen' out! It's so much fun and exciting to see your child explore or learn new things. If you look at the third picture below you can see that her feet are wrinkled!

Big Girl!

Belle at times looks so big. It's funny 'cuz she'll make these faces that just make me laugh. She has such a great personality!

Anyone that holds Belle knows that she is rocking. And not just a little she'll rock hard in your arms if your not careful. She'll do it on the couch when she's sitting there on her own. And over and over agian! These are some pictures of that.

First Family Christmas Pictures

Yesterday my friend Mel came over and took pictures for us. It was our vary first family pictures! I had so much fun and all the pictures turned out awesome! Belle did so good the whole time.

Daddy's Away!

This weekend is second shot-gun season so that means Blake is gone hunting. Belle and I went grocery shopping and rented a movie. (My sister's keeper, I hear it's sad but a good sad) Belle has been more grouchy then normal. I think she may be teething, but don't feel anything quit yet. She is doing awesome at sitting up on her own. She just needs a little support to make sure she doesn't smash her head back but still over all she is doing awesome. Such a big girl! We especially wanted to let Blake know how much we miss him and hope he's having a blast! "Baby girl misses her daddy!"
