Similarities

Bella has been playing with bowls for the past few days, (who needs toys when you have fun bowls?) and I took this picture because I used to do this when I was a little girl. So, here's Bella.

And here's me!

I thought I would put in a couple of baby pictures of mom and dad too. I think she looks a little like both of us!

Bella got to wear her first baseball hat on Tuesday and also got to go to her first softball game. What a big day!

More pictures to come soon!

Picture Mania

Here are some great pictures from the past week. Enjoy!

Bella had just woke up from a nap and her hair was sticking straight up. You can see it a little bit in the pictures but mostly her faces are great!

Rudy's is open!!! We decided to take Bella to her first rootbeer stand this past Saturday (when the weather was still beautiful). She had fun watching the girls skate back and forth and also eating the menu! We decided that next time we go we'll have to get her a grilled cheese or bring something for her to munch on!


Bella got to play with Eli a few times this week! She really loves looking at other kids and babies! She's wearing her new dress that she got from Grandma Kathy too, she looked so cute!

We can't leave Bella too close to Eli yet though, because all she wants to do is grab his face!

I have rediscovered some settings on my camera (sepia and black & white) and I have been taking pictures like crazy because they turn out so good! Either I should have been a photographer or we have a very photogenic little girl...I think it's the later! Here are some pictures of Daddy and Bella playing.

She's always so happy after bath time! Squeaky clean!

Here's another time I took a lot of pictures! She's wearing a new dress that she got from Aunt Nancy and just playing on the floor.

What a trip!

We just took a big trip down to see Adam's family! We got to see so many people and had so much fun. Also, since the Crusade job in the Cities was not for us, we are looking into moving to either Milwaukee or Madison. So, this trip was a nice time to check it out and see what's there! At Grandma Kathy's house Bella LOVED playing with this mirror. She would just sit in front of it and smile and talk to herself! We're going to have to get her one for our house I think!

We also got to visit Uncle Ben and Aunt Laura in Madison on our way home. This was so great to see them and the cousins got to play together too. We got some great pictures of Bella and Oliver playing! We're so excited for them to grow up together!
