Happy Halloween

Our Renaissance Princess.The dress was made with Love by Nana! Isn't is Beautiful?
Full length shot.

B She was loving this dress!

The only one of 7 that actually got carved!

Bella really enjoyed scooping out her pumpkin. She even licked it a little! Silly girl. After she was done she colored on it with crayons!

On Halloween Daddy, Mommy and Aunt Donna took Bella to the mall to do some trick or treating. This was her actually first year. She was a bit over whelmed with all the loudness and commotion from all the other kids. Bella got a lot of stickers! Before she got to trick or treat at Grandma and Grandpa's. Then we were off to Nana and Papa's. For her first Halloween she did very well! Maybe next year we will venture out door to door1

October

Isabella Climbs everything! Even with only one boot on!

Chillin'

Pretty smiles.

September

Bella loves to hide in her kitchen cabinet. She will say bye-bye! and close the door!


Just thought this was a beautiful pic of our little girl!

Bella LOVES to color! Crayons, pens, pencils, food you name it!

This is the sweetest picture of Daddy and Isabella!

Life's a beach

Bella and I went with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mark to the Utica Zoo and afterwards to Sylvan Beach. Mommy and Bella messing around in the water. She loved it! It was the first "wa wa" other than Nana's pool or our kiddie pool that she had ever been to. I swear she makes me want to move to a lake/beach!

Playing with her sand toys!

Eatin Dirt Again!

Yup, Eating dirt again. This time it was the yummy dessert Dirt! Super Easy and Super Yummy! All you do is make a box of instant pudding, chocolate or vanilla, according to the directions on the box. We like chocolate. Mix a tub of thawed whipped topping into the pudding. Crush a whole package of oreos, your choice. Mix half in with the pudding mixture. Spoon pudding mixture into individual cups and top with the rest of the crushed Oreos. You may garnish with a gummy worm if desired. Refrigerate at least 1 hour! Then enjoy like Bella did. She enjoyed so much she needed this...

She was so messy, she needed to wash up in the sink. Which I thought that it would be quick and easy. It was until Bella started DUMPING water over the side of the sink onto the floor. Oh well, kids will be kids, right?

Eatin Dirt

We were having septic issues, so half of our yard is piles of dirt. Bella wanted to play one day and apperently got hungry too! Before this she shoved her whole self into a tiny little sand wagon!

The scream face

Then and Now!

She likes drinking the water too! Just a little comparision. The top pic is the first time that she went swimming last summer and the bottom two, the first time this year! What a difference! 5 months and 16.5 months!

Miles of Smiles !

We finally blew up the kiddie pool for Bella to play in. She won't actually sit in it. She squats and stands in it! Weird kid I know. Besides the fact that she HATES water in her face, she LOVES being in the water. She takes buckets and cups and pours them everywhere. Make sure that you are not sitting on the side of the pool with shoes on, because she will dump water on your feet! We also found out that water on the slide=super fast slide!

Playing outside

First Boyfriend...already

We had a surprise Bday party for Jay on Saturday. Our friends brought their nephew, A who is 3. Boy did Bella and A take a liking to each other. Kissing each other and everything! It was soo cute. Bella and her older man. It was great that Bella got to play with someone close to her age! She had so much fun!

Bella's Vocab

I really must be procrastinating going to bed. I got this idea from a friends blog about her daughter. Let's see what I can remember, right now.

Mama-of course, I hear this all the time

MA -this means she wants your attention, more, get this for me. Depending on the tone!

Dada or Daddy- Yup this is a recent one for her, she will even point to a pic of Jay and say Dada!

Nana- refers to bananas, yellow things, produce ( Bella and I will go back and forth over an Apple. She says, "Nana". I say "apple". Over and over.) and of course Nana ( jay's mom)

Donna- her loving and favorite Aunt Donna

Grrr Ma- Grandma of course!

Cracker- Weird, I know but she says this clear as day!

Vrroomm- Car, Motorcycle etc! Even if she sees them on TV!

Bow Wow Wow- This is a dog. If she hears or sees one she says this!

Hissss- She hisses like a snake and knows what it is!

Bell Button- Her favorite body part the belly button of course! She will want you to show her yours!

Baby- I almost forgot! This was her first word, besides Mama. There are a few dialects of this word too. Her dolls are bay-ba! Plain ole' baby is any child or baby! Bay-be? She says this with a question when she is looking for a doll or the baby that is in the computer or cell phone! Silly girl!

Bye, bye- She knows what bye-bye means. sometimes she will go to the door or get her shoes.

Hi- It's super cute when she walks around with a phone, or even a remote for that matter, up to her ear and starts talking on it!

ducka-she can say duck, tho I don't encourage this word as much as the others.

moo-Whenever she sees a cow she moos. Daddy loves this *wink*

All done or done- when she is done she is done!

She also knows a few words in sign language.
Milk-can refer to a drink too.
All done/I don't know
More

I know that there are a few more words she knows ( I actually put a few more in here). There are a few that she will repeat once, but not say again. I can not think of any more for the life of me! I will update when my brain is not fried from lack of sleep!

Bella's Room

Bella's Closet
Book shelve with her books and toys.

The other end of her room. Still a bit bare.

We are still working on finishing up Bella's room. It's painted and has most of the big furniture in it. If you have noticed her bed is missing. That is because it is in our room. Since moving she has slept in her own little toddler bed every night! We are so proud of her. It didn't even take much fighting! LOL! Her walls are 2 shades of purple parallel walls are matching shades. The one end looks so bare! This room is so much bigger then her old room. There are more toys to add. Also some pics on the walls. When we are finished I'll post a pic of the finished product!

Can you find it?

Can you find the neon green post it? It's in Bella's hair you say? This little girl was roaming around the house for hours with this post it in her hair. It was hilarious. She got into a pack of the post it tabs and they were EVERY WHERE! She had a ball tho...Bella like paper, especially riping it up!!!

Pudding...Playing or Eating?

I decided to let Bella finger paint. Knowing that she still puts things in her mouth I made some instant vanilla pudding and threw some food coloring in it. It was her first time trying pudding. I think that she ate more then she "painted with". Surprisingly she didn't make a horrible mess. Tho a bath was waiting afterwards. I think that she had some fun. What do you think?
