6 Months!

I've been trying to post this for a week, but I couldn't get the pictures to work. So here it goes..
Yay! We've made it to the 6 month mark. We've been having so much fun with our daughter, it just doesn't seem possible that it's been 6 months already. Here are some things that she can do now that she's 6 months old...

-She weighs 12 pounds and 10 ounces.

-She's 24 inches tall.

-Her head is 16 inches around.

-She can sit up on her own... mostly.

-She eats veggies, fruit and meats and all things pureed. She's liked almost everything we've given her.

-She still loves her jumper. She goes crazy in that thing.

-She likes to spit and blow bubbles. It's very messy.

-She really loves to throw up on her Daddy. She hardly throws up on anyone else.

-She likes to grab people's noses. Especially when you say, "Where's my nose?"

-She's getting better in her car seat. For the most part she hardly cries when we're in the car.

-She wakes up one time at night, usually around 4 or 5am.

-She goes to bed in her own room at the same time every night, 7pm.

-She takes two naps a day, around 9 or 10am and around 2 or 3pm.

-She loves watching other kids play and wants to join them.

- She still loves to kick. If she gets excited, watch out, because she might kick you.

-She loves to watch everything. If you're holding her you have to face her outward or she gets mad. She wants to know what's going on all the time.

-She loves going on walks and being outside in general.

-She can roll and roll and roll until she gets stuck on something.

-She can spin and move around on her tummy, but can't get up on her hands and knees yet.

Twilight

Well, I finally went and saw Twilight. So I'm taking the count-down to the movie's release off my blog. (Are you happy now, Dad?) As most of you know I love movies so I was really excited to see it. I didn't expect it to be as good as the book (and it wasn't) but it was still pretty good.

Our little Pterodactyl

Bella has been screaming up a storm lately. When ever she gets bored, annoyed, tired, happy, mad or just about any other emotion, she screams and screams. It's not too bad because it's a happy sound, but it's very high pitched and very loud.

The only time she wasn't screaming was when she discovered this spinning toy on her jumper. She got very into it.

Here are a couple more random pictures that I thought were pretty funny.

"Huh???"

"Get me off the floor now!" (This reminds me of Anna's "I hate pizza face." For those of you who know what that is, it is very funny)

With an oink oink here and an oink oink there...

I had to get a picture of Bella in her piggy wear (onesie and slippers) before it didn't fit her anymore.

Daddy was cracking us up tonight. I was trying my best to keep her in the frame with her sitting on my lap. Usually when the camera is pointed at her (especially this close) all she does is stare at it so I'm glad she kept laughing.

I found this picture when I was looking through an older file. It is from a month ago, just before we moved up to the bigger sized swaddle balnket. You can see why she needed a bigger one.

I was just talking to Grandpa Jerry and he wanted to know if Bella was rolling over and then back. She can do this, but I have yet to get it on a video that is short enough to post onto Blogger. This isn't exactly a video of that, but it's a video of her rolling. She almost rolls one way and then changes her mind and rolls the other way. If you listen to the TV in the background (it's Cash Cab, one of my favorite shows) it sounds like the guy talking (Ben Bailey) is commenting on what Isabella is doing.

Watch the birdie... and other fun things

Bella just discovered the bird on this toy. Even though she was facing the wall she was still so excited to be able to reach the bird.

Bella rolled over and ended up wedged between the Giraffe and the mirror. She couldn't move, it was funny.

Look at those cheeks!... I meant the ones on her face...

Bella's got her Daddy wrapped around her finger. She likes to look out the window and she knows Daddy will hold her up there until she's bored. Notice her hair sticking up in the back, it always does that. I can't wait until she has enough hair to put a clip in it.

We got to hang out with Cole a little bit on Saturday night. It was fun to see him again and fun to watch Bella watching Cole. Apparently he's very entertaining. After Bella went to bed, Cole had to check out all her toys, just to see what they did and weather or not they could hold him. Here he is checking out her Play Mat.

Bella has been getting better and better at sitting up on her own. She's able to sit alone for a couple of minutes before falling over. She still 'melts into the floor' (where she leans forward and can't upright herself) some times, but it's usually only when she's reaching for a toy. Man, look at that drool... yuck.

I couldn't decide which picture was cuter so I posted them both (hey, it's my blog...).

It finally happened...

When people ask me what Isabella's name is, they usually say, "Oh Isabella, that's so cute/pretty." Today was the first time that someone said, "Oh, like Isabella (Bella) from Twilight." I knew it would happen eventually. Now, there's no way to prove that this isn't where I got her name since we didn't tell anyone what name we had picked out before the books were released. But Dusty can testify that before we got married I told him that if he wanted to have kids with me I already had names picked out for two of our daughters (assuming we have two girls). One of those names was Isabella and the other one is still highly classified (you'll all just have to wait until the next girl comes to find out what it is). Hopefully no one will publish a best seller with _______ as the main character.
