Kick kick kick!

Bella has had a lot of fun this week! We went for a walk up at Predator Ridge where she got to pick up pinecones. Matt took her across the street to feed miniature horses (pictures to come!). She has learned to LOVE eating with a fork. She got three new teeth this week too!

I went back to work this week, so this was also Bella's first week going to daycare. She goes there three days a week, spends Thursdays with Aileen (Omi) and Fridays with her Daddy. She's had a great time at daycare where she has a whole new room of toys and friends to play with. I miss seeing her all the time though!

Like Andrew Bundy, Bella is a FIERCE hugger, which we love. She dances... all the time. She loves being in on the joke, and if someone else is laughing, she is too (the fakest most forced laugh you'll ever hear, it's hilarious). She is great at kicking her little stuffed soccer ball around the house, and we're convinced she's going to be the next female Maradona. She is such a happy, smily beautiful TODDLER/RUNNER, and we just can't get or share enough of her. Sooo, here are a few more pictures, and a video. :)

Matt loves this picture

No Bella, I don't think that can all fit in your mouth...

Once again, you've proven me wrong.

Texturelicious (so says Mathew)

Getting those new teeth through

Spying on the dog next door

She likes her spoon too, although it's a bit messier, as you can see

Playing at the park

She loves to move

Getting down to feel the grass (that building in the back is where she goes to kindermusik classes, where she gets to dance, shake things, and hit drums... it doesn't get any better than that)

Yes, we dance in the park too

PINECONES!!

OOOhhh, another one!

Check out my pinecones Mummy!

Toilet Humor

Bella seems to have a thing for bathrooms. She likes drumming on the toilet lids, and hitting the flap of the garbage can lid so it swings back and forth. Like Andrew did, she loves unrolling the toilet paper. Recently she has discovered the toilet bowl brush, and the plunger in the guest bathroom. We've done well at never letting her get too close. One time she managed to grab the handle of the plunger, and then we had her. She KNOWS she's not supposed to touch them.

Fast-forward to tonight... Bella and I were playing in her room, and she decided to go for a walk with one of her books. She PRETENDED like she was going towards the kitchen. I walked out of her room and started to lead the way. I happened to glance back at her, and she was standing there watching me. All of a sudden she smiled, dropped her book and literally RAN to the bathroom!! I don't think I've ever seen her move that fast! I had only been about 5 feet in front of her, and she had made it to the plunger by the time I grabbed her!! She's only 11 months (this weekend). I think we're in trouble with this one! I'm pretty sure we're done with "redirecting" her, and we're going to just lock them under the sink.

I wonder what she'll discover next...
