Pictures from the last two weeks

Some times Bella is just so funny. I find myself taking pictures of her all day long (What am I going to do with all these pictures? Thank goodness for digital cameras). She's cruising around the house like crazy and loves to get into things she's not supposed to. So far it's not too bad, at least she doesn't get into the bathroom (unless she follows someone else in there). Oh man, I hope I didn't jinx myself...

This is one of her favorite things to do, stand up under Daddy's desk chair. She always hits her head and then cries. I think she's figured out that someone will rescue her if she does this.

I am such a good mom. I have Bella on a strict diet of pizza and soda (next picture). We were at Costco with Katrina and Lizzy on Friday and stayed for lunch. Bella was freaking out because I was eating pizza in front of her and not sharing. So I gave her my crust and she loved it. The next day Daddy made pizza for dinner (do you see a trend here? I promise we don't have pizza everyday) so I gave her my crust again. I really just think that she loves eating what we eat and feeding herself; pizza crust satisfies both criteria. I was drinking soda in front of her the other day and, of course, she had to have some. So I gave her a can of her own. Just kidding. I gave her my empty can (I put a napkin in the hole so she couldn't get her fingers in it) and she loved playing with it. She totally had it figured out, she was putting her mouth at the opening and tipping it up on her own. I guess it's a good thing that there wasn't anything in it.We wanted to give a shout-out to Aunt Kellie. We got these pajamas last week and they remind us of Aunt Kellie because they have Ducks all over them. There was some discussion over whether these should be allowed in our house, but in the end decided that as long as they didn't have green on them as well, then they were fine. But I just have to make it clear, we are BEAVER fans and, in general, do not like the Ducks!
Since Bella is always begging to have what ever I am eating I gave her one of the marshmallows out of my Lucky Charms. Needless to say, she liked it. Her little tongue was blue it was pretty funny.
Bella's getting better at using her sippy cup. She already loves to play with it and has figured out that she can drink out of it, but hasn't quite figured out how to tip it all the way back to get the stuff out on her own.

Bella loves The Gilmore Girls. Every time that theme song comes on she stops what she's doing and watches it, then goes back to doing whatever she was doing before it started. It's pretty funny. Here were are eating lunch when the song came on.

We have a trash bag and a bag with all her snacks in it hanging on the back of her chair. She tried for about 3 days to get both bags in her hands at the same time. She'd get one and then in the process of getting the other one she'd lose the first one. She finally got both bags and was so proud of herself that I had to get it on camera.

Last week I put Bella down for her nap and she would not go to sleep. First she stood up and cried, then she roamed around her crib and eventually started playing with this toy (you can see it under her head). I guess some time during her play session, she pulled it down and then fell asleep in top of it. It looked like she was using it as a pillow. She stayed like this for her whole nap.

This is one of her new favorite play places. She loves to pull herself up on this speaker and then beat on it like a drum. She's so silly.

Bella just started doing this little dance. She cracks me up, just standing there bouncing up and down. She's also been doing this lasso thing with her pacifier attacher-thing. She swings it around like crazy. I can't believe I caught her doing both on one video, usually when I pull out the camera she just sits there and/or tries to take the camera from me. (why does she have two clips in her hair? her bangs are a little crazy these days and about 12 different lengths, so it takes more than one clip to keep them all back. that's why her hair in normally in piggy tails)
