14 Weeks-Laughter and Hand Coordination

At 14 weeks, our sweet Bella has discovered her voice, and her laughter is truly the most beautiful sound! She laughed uncontrollably after a major dirty diaper today, and it was the cutest thing (the laughter, not the dirty diaper ;-)). She has also discovered her hands and loves to chew on her fist nonstop. We think she may be teething already. She has also gotten really good at finding an grabbing her binky from her lap and then putting in in her mouth. She absolutely loves to hold tightly onto her blankies at all times. She is such a joy and has truly captured our hearts! This week was my birthday, and I can think of no greater gift than to be Jaythan, Savannah, and Bella's Mommy!

13 weeks-Beach Beauty & Daddy's Little Pumpkin

Bella had a busy week. She met her Grandma Burrell and Aunt Serena for the first time. They came and spent the week with us. We went to South Padre Island for the day and Bella enjoyed the water, the sun, and hanging out with Mommy under the tent on the beach. She looked like a little bathing suit model and was posing for the camera in her baby blue bathing suit and shades. Later in the week we joined big brother, Jaythan, on his Preschool Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch. She wore her "Daddy's little Pumpkin" onesie and looked so cute. Our little Pumpkin Pie is such a joy to our hearts, and we are loving every moment of being her Mommy and Daddy.

3 MONTHS OLD!!

Time has passed so quickly, and our precious baby is now 3 months old! She truly is a GIFT of Joy and Beauty to our Hearts and brightens our days with smiles, sweet sounds, and even laughter. She is turning over consistently from her tummy to her back and tries so hard to hold herself up in a sitting position. She is always very alert and loves to look around over your shoulder. She despises the car seat, preferring for Mommy to hold her in the sling when we go shopping. She enjoys lying on our knees and talking to us for long periods of time. I really enjoy my times nursing her as she has started to interact with me more-staring into my eyes, playing with my clothes, etc... She loves it when I sing to her and often joins in with her sweet little voice. She laughs out loud when Mommy plays "This Little Piggy" with her. Such a Joyful little Princess God has blessed us with!

12 Weeks of our Beautiful JOY

Sweet Bella Joy continues to bless our hearts with her sweet smiles, cooing, peaceful spirit, and laughter. This week I got a great video of her singing along with me to some of her favorite songs. It was truly precious! She is turning over from her belly to her back quite frequently now. She wakes up so joyful in the morning and full of so many smiles for us. We continue to thank God daily for our beautiful blessing!

11 Weeks of Beauty & Joy

This week marks 11 weeks that our precious baby has brought us Beauty and Joy. She has been smiling and laughing more with each passing day. We started "tummy time" this week, and she seemed to enjoy her playmat for limited amounts of time. Today, she turned over for the first time from her back to her tummy!!! Yay! Our baby girl is growing up so quickly, and we are cherishing every second!
