Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's DAY!?

So have I told you about my awesome dad?

He ROCKS! He likes to watch cartoons with me, lets me watch lots of music video's and teaches me about all things 80's. He thinks this is very important to know about. But he also lets me watch Yo Gabba Gabba cause mommy won't and Wonder Pets while I he feeds me my afternoon snack everyday.

Today mommy fixed daddy french toast for breakfast and since I have mastered the fork I feed myself some yummy french toaste and BACON!

I am turing into a little chatter box or at least when I feel like it. I can say all kinds of words now I just don't do it for the therepist maybe I enjoy her company and don't want her to stop coming. I am putting words together too. I can say I do IT and I see YOU. I am 31 1/2 inches tall not much weight gain only 21lbs but I don't stop till they make me. I have not had a bottle in a month and now drink from a straw sippy cuppy. I use a fork and a spoon. Mommy got me a bigger kiddie pool this summer and I love to play in it, sure beats a bath.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy father's day. I am off to nap before I take my daddy to buy some new shoes for father's day. :)

Happy Early Mother's Day

Today is the oldest Melon Head Birthday, that lead me to realise that two years ago on May 2, 2009 I held my baby girl for the first time, with mother's day just around the bend it made me stop and be greatful and thankful. Just wanted to say thank you again to everyone who prayed for us during that time and to remember how Great our God is and how lucky we are to serve an awesome God. Allot has happened in two years and it is just been one wonderful journey to be on. I can't begin to say how much I love Bella and how much joy she brings us everyday. She is such a happy little girl to be around and has so much love to give us. It is all the little things she does that bring a smile to my face. I love our time in the morning when we fight to get that little pony tail in her hair and she grrs at me yes she hates it but trust me she loves the attention she gets when it is in. I even still love to change her diapers even the dirty ones still; but I love it more when she goes in the potty. I hate when I am away from her and can't wait to be back with her. She is getting so big and more independent as she grows but I hope she always needs me the way I need my mom.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy mother's day.

She is hard at work.... She loves to play a peek-a-boo game on the computer I know crazy computer games for infants.

This is what she does when mommy is away and daddy is in charge.
Time Out.. LOL

Crazy Days

Bella is 25 months She is still slow at talking but continues to add words everyday. and has begun to put words together in sentences New Words this Month: No potty do it I Mine OK away Together: I do it I done She is still the easiest baby and now the easiest toddler..As I say how easy she is she is having her a meltdown cause her daddy just left. She does have a bit of of separation issues from us but I think there are worse things my sweet girls could cry over than us leaving her. We have no idea why we are so blessed but hope we never forget how blessed we are. So my best friend is pregnant and we are so excited she is having a little girl. She already has a little man named Wheeler he is Bella future hubs if we have anything to do with it. She has him wrapped around her finger he is an older man of 4 years. I only hope Bella Marie and Ruby Marie are as close as me and April and will be BF's for 30 years. So with that exciting event time to plan a Baby Shower and I love to plan a party. I have been out searching blogs and the Internet for ideas and hope to share some of the stuff I have found out on some really great blogs the last few weeks. Just a few ideas I found. Aren't they fun makes me want to have several showers for her. But time does not allow for that someone else has a big important party coming up too and I must focus on that not everyday the talking trash turns...... 60 that's right folks she will be 60 next month I know she does not look a day over 30 and that must make me a teenager too right. ;) I love the crayons this would be fun at a teacher's shower; my BF also loves to color so I thought of her when I saw it. Not to mention it looks cheap and easy to recreate.

This is so cute.. Love the baby onsies above.

Is this not the sweetest picture of the two of them.

I was pregnant with Bella.

Bella loves her Aunt April and Uncle Shawn (that's the BFH - Best Friend Husband)

Wheeler didn't want Bella to lay down by herself so he laid down even thought he was not tired, I tell you that is son-in-law material right there already putting my little girl's needs first.

I think she had him from the beginning. This was the first time they met.

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:

Nite Nite

Baby

Good Girl

Doggie
Cat

Parker

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.

BONK .. POW .. BLAM

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.
