What a vocabulary!

Belle is starting to put together sentences and identifying most items out of her books.  It is so hard to believe that she is truly turning into a little person.  She just talks away these days and still is an avid reader which we are so thankful.

Girl's getaway!

A few of my girlfriend's and I headed up to my Dad and Liz's house in the NC mtns to enjoy some relaxation!  Ms. Belle joined us and loved hanging out with some of her "aunts". One of my bestest is expecting her second daughter, gasp in less than a month now!  But, we had a little celebration for Ms. Eva.  Can't wait to meet her and thanks for a wonderful time!!

Here is a link to the Mcgalliard family blog with some more fun pictures!  Thanks girls :)

Thanks Dad and Liz for allowing us to crash your pad as well!

A little ham!

Little Miss Personality, dancing around, sharing water bottles and our newest found fun, shoveling food in the dogs faces.  Little did they know if they weren't hungry they were eating anyway, with this little cutie chasing them around with a hand full of dog food.

Backyard fun with Daddy and Mommy too!

One of Belle's favorite things is exploring in our backyard with Daddy :).  She loves picking up sticks for his burn pile and just being a kid.  It is these moments that I cherish so dearly and want to plug in a bottle and never let out.  So adorable!

I like to cook with Mommy

Most nights my little chef helps me with dinner.  It is something that we love doing together and know we will for many years to come.  Here she is at work!

New Favorite Toy

Barnes and Noble has the BEST children toys!  Sometimes Belle and I will just go in there to play with the toys! I bought her this toy around Christmas knowing it is still a little too old for her.  Belle loves stacking different variations and designs.

Ellie comes for a little visit

My dear college friend Ashley had a sweet baby girl named Ellie in January. She stopped by for a visit a few weeks ago.  I had such a great time holding sweet little Ellie and reminiscing about when Belle was that tiny.  I can't really even remember it?!  How sad is that?  We still owe Ellie, Ashley and Jeremy a dinner.  We are so excited to have little Ellie here and can't wait for future play dates when Ellie gets older :)

As you can tell Belle loved playing with Ellie's car seat until Mommy came in  and took it away.  I didn't get a great picture of Ellie since I didn't want to flash in her sweet little eyes.
