Fun Times

Happy CANADIAN Thanksgiving everyone!! We are so thankful for our family and friends, and this weekend we celebrated you all with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pie... twice! You all are that special!

As Amy said tonight, "What? You have a blog?". We know, we know... so here is a long overdue post of new pictures.

We decided to drive to Calgary to visit friends and family a few weekends ago. We thought we would go BEFORE it snowed. We got there just in time for Bella's FIRST snow. I was freezing, but she didn't seem to mind!


Outside of Dave and Jey's place.


Love these girls.

Bella's two front bottom teeth came in last month, and it looks like she's working on the top ones now. As a result, there was about a week or two where she sucked on her upper gums. Here are a few of the faces we caught her making, hahaha!


Fish face.


Under bite.


No upper lip.


Such cute little feet.

Bella has a fun time throwing ALL of her toys off of her excersaucer. We put them all on there, and see how long it takes her to throw them off. As you can see, one of her favorite toys is an empty ginger ale bottle... go figure. So now she throws them off, leans over and watches them roll or skid away.


mid throw


Looking.... looking....


Aww, how do you say no to that face?


Reading together... kind of.


Eating her cereal and sweet potatoes. She can do it herself, thank you very much! I wonder who she got that from...


Just because we know WE'RE the ones you REALLY want to see


Izzy LOVES her jolly jumper. We're convinced she's going to be a little dancer. Put her in here and give her some tunes and she goes at it! Here's a midair heel-clicker shot. See the look of intense concentration? haha.


Having a drink after a hard day at play. Thanks for the water bottle Omi!


Nose grabs


Big smiles


Play time with mummy.


One of her favorite chew toys... my necklaces.

Growing Up

Bella has been going crazy chewing on anything and everything that she can get her hands on for the past few days. Last night, FINALLY, her two front bottom teeth broke through! Two at one time! She doesn't mess around. We're expecting the top two any day now, since she's still chewing like crazy and I swear I can feel them right under the surface. Anyway, here are some of the pictures from the past week!

Aunt Dianne & Uncle Duane drove up and we were able to spend a few days with them. We had a great time! Thanks for coming!!

Uncle Duane and Bella. She's showing him who's boss.

A visit from "Aunt" Ruth Mitchell (now Nilsson), her husband Stan, and her mom. Thanks for the visit!!

Enjoying one of her books. If she's calm enough, she likes to flip the "pages" herself. Check out those cheeks!!

Reading is fun!

Caught!

TWO posts in ONE day!!! We're AMAZING!!!

Matt and I did a little photo shoot with Bells yesterday, since it was nice out. I had made a little tutu for her, for whenever she starts to want to play dressup (I know, it won't be for a while), and so we put her out in the grass and got the film rolling. She might not know what "dressup" is yet, but she definitely likes chewing on her new skirt! Here are some of our favorite shots (keep in mind, there is only so much you can get a 5 1/2 month old to do for the camera, so they're all similar!). ;)


"Uhh, this grass looks questionable to me!"


Loving being outside when it's warm.





LOVE the smile in this one.


Practicing her dance moves.








We couldn't get enough of the color contrasts.


She likes big flowers.


Texture texture texture!


Having fun playing.


Planning her attack on Chester the dog.


Mmmm... this feels good on my gums!
