She's Crawling!!

It has been too long since I last updated! So, I have lots of pictures and catching up to do for everyone.

Bella is doing so well: she is finally crawling, babbling all the time, screaming when she's excited, and getting more teeth (and along with that comes all the drool and fussy times). It has been a little over a week since she started crawling and it still seems so funny to see her moving around on her own! It's still pretty new for her, so she's not too fast and she hasn't gotten away from us yet. We have had to start closing the doors and putting up the baby gate. Within the past few days she has also started to pull herself up to kneel and stand. I can't tell you how weird it is for me to walk into her room to get her after a nap and see her little head poking up over her crib!

Adam and I are doing well also. We are still in the process of looking and hoping for something different. A new job for Adam and also either a different apartment to rent or a house to buy. So, we'll see...whatever God has in store for us. It's definetly a test of trust and patience.

Okay, now for some pictures. Enjoy!

Bella got a pink baseball and glove from Grandma Kathy before she was born and she finally got to play with it! All she really wanted to do though was chew on it. I don't think she understands the concept of 'baseball' yet! :)

For a few weeks when she was excited she would make this face, rock back and forth, and breath really heavy. It was funny because it looked like she was so mad but really she was just excited about something. I was glad I caught it on camera!

Next to Bella's high chair in the kitchen is a wooden rack that we store some kitchen things on. On the top of it is a little TV for the kitchen so we keep some movies there too. Needless to say Bella can reach them and she loves to play with the movies! Here she is with our favorite TV show. We are convinced that she really loves it too because she started to crawl on a Thursday night while we were watching 'The Office' together!

Here's our little munchkin crawling away!! She seems so much happier now that she can move.

Along with crawling all over comes all sorts of new things to explore. So, Bella now likes to crawl under the toys that she can fit under. The funny thing is though that she will crawl under, play for a little bit, and then cry because she can't figure out how to get back out! That will come, but until it does we think it's pretty funny!

When dad plays his guitar Bella wants to play it too! This was on Thursday this past week. Then on Friday Bella and I went out to garage sales in the morning and luckily I found Bella a toy guitar of her own!

This is another great toy that I found at a garage sale! It's a 'learning table' and it plays music, says the alphabet, numbers 1-10, colors and so much more!! It's great what you can find for cheap at garage sales! This is a toy that she pulls herself up and stands next to in order to play with it. Although she can pull herself up, she doesn't always get her feet all the way under her as you can see!

She really enjoys this toy!
