32 Weeks: HighChairs, Army Crawl, and a Road Trip

This week we took a quick trip to Fort Worth, and Bella did AMAZINGLY well in the car seat-rarely crying on the 9 hour trips. We think that she is finally getting used to it, and her big brother helps to keep her entertained. While there, she sat in the high chair for the first time in the beautiful high chair/stroller cover that my dear friend, Freddy, had customed made for Bella. Bella is so active now, and wants to grab and put in her mouth every single thing that she can reach. She is doing the army crawl, and we think that she will be crawling soon. We have had a couple of restless nights and I really am hoping that her teeth come through soon. She has been disinterested in eating baby food and only wants to nurse. She has also been super clingy and wanting me to hold her close all the time, so I truly think her gums are bothering her. Bella is giving me the sweetest "Baby Kisses" (open mouthed, wet, sloppy kisses), and they just melt my heart! I love my baby girl so very much!

31 Weeks-Valentine Beauty, Kitchen Spoons, & Constant Smiles

There are lots of pictures this week because our beauty was so full of smiles and had so many cute Valentine outfits to model :). Every time we talk to her or even look at her, she burst into a huge gummy grin with her eyes closed. She is truly the happiest child I have ever seen-what a JOY and blessing from God. We discovered that her favorite toy is Mommy's pink plastic mixing spoon. Who knows--maybe she will love to bake like Mommy :)?? She loves bouncing in her exersaucer and is getting really good at grabbing, playing, and interacting with the toys. When doing tummy time she is getting good at the army crawl and drags herself to get the object of her attention. She has even started putting weight on her raised arms so it is just a matter of time before she will be crawling. She loves her big brother and loves to laugh with him and touch his face. No one can get her smiling and laughing quite like Jaythan. He is a great big brother and loves to help pick out her veggies and fruits for dinner and help entertain her. Enjoy the pictures of our beauty and joy!

30 Weeks-Mum Mums & Valentine Beauty

This week Bella wore lots of pretty heart-themed outfits since Valentines Day is approaching :). She looked beautiful in the pink and red! She tried her first Baby Mum-Mum and absolutely loved it. Those things are super messy, and her entire outfit was covered in shredded rice bisuit :). She continues to eat well and loves almost all vegetables and fruits with the exception of sweet peas. She enjoys playing in her bouncer activity gym and tries to chew on all the fun toys. Her hair is growing so quickly and is getting thicker and darker.
