New Pictures (and some from Redding)

We got this toy from our friends. It has been passed down from friend to friend and now it is Bella's turn to play with it. She loves it and even though our apartment is small she likes to push it back and forth across the living room.

This one's for Papa. When Bella gets excited she tends to grab her pants. It looks like she's grabbing her crotch, but I swear that's not what she's doing.
She has been making funny faces the last few days. With this face usually comes some sort of singing. She likes to stand and play at her musical table and 'sing' to herself. It's actually very cute, when it's not annoyingly high pitch. We went down to Redding for Spring Break. It was a lot of fun. We went to the park with Dusty's Mom and two of his brothers and their kids. Bella had fun watching the kids play. Here's Hunter showing us how well she climbs.

Something about this picture cracks me up. I think it's the look on her face.

We made a trip down to Chico to see Dusty's cousin Nicole and her family (and to get my hair and my sister's hair done). We went out to dinner and had a lot of fun. Here's Bella and Mia, they liked to copy each other and since Bella's new favorite hobby is putting her finger in her nose, Mia did the same. Yummy!

Here's Bella and Papa at the park. Bella wasn't too sure about the grass so Papa is showing her how to crawl in it.

After she got comfortable, she had a lot of fun. One of the things she liked best was eating leaves.

What a goof.

Bella is a big time drama queen. She can turn the tears on like that. I don't know if you can tell, but there are tear streaks running down her face. What a sad girl.

I've always said that Bella likes the intro song to Gilmore Girls. I finally got a video of it.

Bella has been working on standing up for the last few weeks. She's fast becoming a pro. Whenever she lets go and realizes that she's on her own, she gets this look on her face like "oh yeah, I'm good." It's very funny.

Today Bella and I were playing peek-a-boo with her blanket. About 5 minutes after I was done playing I realized that Bella clearly wasn't done playing. So here she is playing peek-a-boo without my help (only my commentary).
