I can complete sentences!

Belle can complete so many sentences these days:

1.  I like it!!! (For anything she loves), Bunnies hop in the forest, Lions go roar, I love the pink elephant, We need to go go, I need to swing outside, It is hot out here, Be right back, I'm coming Mommy
 Love you Momma and Daddy, I'm hungry, please give me some food, Where did Mommy go? and  I want to call Daddy
So many others, just some of our favorites.  She can basically hold a complete conversation with us these days!  So awesome!

"Ceree" or Cereal

Belle loves eating with cereal with her Daddy in the morning.  It is one of their special times together. More and more Belle asks for "ceree" on a regular basis.

Here she is hard at work eating her "ceree".

The little bunny goes hop!

Belle has a bunny towel with the floppy ears and tail from pottery barn kids that she loves, see picture below.  Lately as we have been talking about what all types of animal habits, Belle loves to immitate their actions.  After bath time, she asks for her  "bunny towel" puts it on and hops all over the house, love it!

Loving baby dolls!

Belle just loves her babies!  She loves strolling them around, feeding them, rocking them and caring for them.  I love that she is so affectionate!

Teething

Belle always seems to get 4 teeth at one time, so we have only experienced "teething" three times so far.  Well, now we are again experiencing 4 teeth at one time, but this time it has been a little harder with the canines.  She has been up much more at night and MUCH more irritable. As you can tell from lots of her pictures  lately she hasn't been too happy! But thankfully they are finally starting to break through so we will have a teething reprieve until three, or so?  Even when she isn't feeling well she still loves to be outside!  We love how much she explores nature!

Mom told me I would get my pay back!

My Mom has always told me that I would get my pay back with Belle! That is in terms of clothes, when I was little I put together some interesting combinations and my Dad would ask if I was going to leave the house in whatever I was wearing numerous times!  Well, this is far from being as tacky as I was when I was little, but this is Belle's first attempt of dressing herself. Note:  her actual outfit is adorable, but when you add the rain jacket(that she refused to take off to take a bath, so we took a bath with it), shoes and lovely hat it really tops it off!  She is definitely becoming much more independent and starting to have opinions on ALL sorts of things!  Are the "2's" in our immediate future? I think so!

Happy Mother's Day

We enjoyed a great day with both of our Mom's and a little outdoor dining late this afternoon!!!  Belle loved having Gigi and Grams over to play and of course Pap too! 

We are so fortunate to have all sorts of wonderful women in our lives!!!

We didn't snap very many pics today due to chasing the little one around, but here is a horrible pic of me and my sweety on Mother's Day!
