March for Babies

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. I'm walking in March for Babies because I want to do something about this. And I need your help.
Please support my walk. Making a secure donation is easy: just click the 'donate now' button on the page. Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!

I walk for my baby girl born at 23 weeks 4 days weight 15 oz. She just celebrated her second birthday on March 12 she is the exception to ever rule. Other babies born fight so hard for a life and have so many problems before they are even 24 hours old. We walk to support all familes who have had to sit by a bed watching as their little one fights to breath and others who have to make the ultimate sacrifce to not put their baby on a machine. Having a premature baby is one of scarest things a parent has to go through, we walk so one less child might have a chance. Please support the March of Dimes in the fight to save babies, sponsor me, walk or sponsor someone you know.

Thank you

Bella's 2nd Birthday - Sneak Peek Pictures

Foto Fabulous has done it again!
I really can't get enough of her work and I love how she captures my little family perfect just how I see us in my head every time.
If you are in our area and are looking for an amazing photographer she is it.
She is the sweetest person. She came on Saturday and did Bella's 2nd birthday Pictures for us even with a headache!
I can't say enough nice things about her and she is very professional. Both my kiddo's love to have there pictures take by her even my 15 year old.
Unfortunately he was not feeling up to pictures on Saturday so we let him skip out of the birthday pictures.
But Bella showed her love for big brother by wearing her little sister shirt.

We went for a casual day for Saturday, I know can you believe this me dressing Bella casual.

But I couldn't stand it and had to throw a TUTU on her right before Melissa showed up.

Bella's Birthday

We did it another year older....



So to give you all a quick update.

• Bella is walking.. no correction running around like a little wild women into everything. She is 100% in her terrible 2's and days we love it and days I need a hot bath to relax but I wouldn't have it any other way.
• She is now 20lbs and 28 1/2 inches tall. She can officially get out of her baby carrier. I can't wait it will be like a whole new world to her, still want to have her facing to the rear just because it is safer for them.
• She talks but is moving along slow in that department so ECI has decide to increase her to ever week for therapy to see if they can push the words out of my stubborn hard headed little girl.
• Her favorite thing right now is bed time, I kid you not people if we ask her if she is ready to go nite nite she grabs her babies (she has two) and goes to her bedroom door and waits for us. She has even come to us with her baby and said Nite Nite and gone to her room. So with that we have decided that while I am not ready for her a big girl bed. She is telling me otherwise. She will be getting a new toddler bed for her 2nd birthday from her Grandma. I am excited and nervous all in the same thought of it.
• We have also started working with a fork, she is so determined to get the food on the fork only to loss it before it gets to her mouth most the time but with each day she is getting better and better.
• She still spends a lot of time looking at book, she is getting better with crayons they now actually get used on the paper and not in her mouth.

Words she has said:

Baby

Good Girl

Doggie

Has a mouth full of teeth and sometimes will show them to you. Loves to brush them too,


Love to play outside so for her birthday she got a slide fort thing from mommy and Daddy for her birthday. She loves it and since today is her birthday it is in the living room so she can play on it and lets just say we had our first 2 year old tantrum when I tried to get her to stop playing to get dresses today. She has even been nice enough to share it with her babies.


So you saw the invited, she is having a super Hero party. Should be lots of fun; everyone keeps reminding me she is a girl like I am not aware of this fact. I couldn't possible make her anymore girlie. But I thought why not do something that all the little kids will enjoy and who doesn't like to wear a Super Hero Cape. I know I do.

Today it was family day with just mommy, daddy, brother and Bella. Along with a good friend the wonderful Melissa of Foto Fabulous came over and took some birthday pictures for us. I can't wait to see what she got. I know I will love them!

Will post pics once I get some.

DID SOMEONE SAY COOKIES!

Did you know my birthday is tomorrow and I will be 2 years old. My mommy and daddy have been busy planing me a special party and I am so excited. Check me out over the weekend I went shopping for a big girl bed and tried some while in the store. I sure hope I get one of these; I think my Grandma got me one but I will try to act surprised when I get it. Do you think this will work do I look surprised?

Last year I had an Oh la la 1st Birthday and Carol made me the most wonderful pink poodle ooo la la cookies that I just knew I had to have my mommy and daddy get them again for my party this year.

Thanks to the wonderful work of Cookie du Monde I have the perfect birthday cookies again this year for my second birthday. Carol of Cookie Du Monde has the most to die for cookies and to top the awesome taste she hand decorated and painted each cookie specially for ME. Just got my own special cookies in the mail today for my Super Hero 2nd birthday. And look at the bows I know my mom will be making something out of those for me.
