Christmas #3- Great Grandma's House!

Christmas at Great Grandma's with the family. Bella and Gavin got to play for the first time. We think that it was some much needed interaction for Bella. Bella was showing Gavin how to play with his new toys, since she was an old pro at it. She had a lot of fun!

Bella and all her Gifts!

This is Hurricane Bella and MOST of her Christmas gifts. Santa was very good to her! She must of been a VERY good girl this year!

Merry Christmas! Christmas Morning at Home!

Christmas day at home, Nana, Papa, Uncle Josh and Aunt Donna celebrated Bella's first XMas. Bella again did well opening gifts with everyone. Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Markie came over and we all enjoyed brunch, that was cooked by Daddy and Mommy(mostly Daddy)! It was yummy! Santa brought you a very nice surprise, Elmo Live!

Bella's First Christmas (Eve)!

Bella did pretty good opening up gifts on her own. Daddy helped her figure it out. This was Christmas Eve opening gifts with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Markie. She had a great time!

The greatest toy EVER!

Look Mama! I am standing!

Bella has been battling an ear infection for a few weeks now, not that you could tell. She said her first word yesterday, (other than Mama, Dada & Baba) December 3. We were at the store and she say a man holding a little baby boy. She pointed right at him and said baby!

She also took her first unassisted steps December 3 too! She is getting more and more independent as the days go by. I am so happy and excited for her, yet so sad :( My baby is growing up. It's crazy that she will be a year old in 2.5 months!Already!

Raiding the Fridge Already!

She Found the Oreos!

Not bad for a sick little girl!

Standing, getting more and more adventurous, everyday!
Her first cold and an ear infection,but still happy as can be!

She slept like this the whole grocery shopping trip!
