Oops! I Forgot!

Can't believe I forgot to mention that Bella weighed 7lb. 1-oz and was 19 in. long at her last doctor's visit.

Pumpkin Patches and Doctors



Weekend before last Grant, Bella and I met Grandpa Garvin and step-aunt Claire at a pumpkin patch in Flower Mound that my friend Cari suggested. It was quite the production! Mazes made out of Hay, food vendors, blow up slides, and of course pumpkins! My main goal was to find the little cauldron that said "My First Pumpkin Patch". I had seen pictures of Cari's kids in it. As you can see I got my picture, but we also had to make sure and get a picture of Grandpa on the John Deer tractor! Then it was off to pick out pumpkins and finally to pose for a family photo.

We also had doctor visits last week. Bella got all of her shots and she did so well! She of course cried in the beginning, but stopped quickly. The nurse and I commented that unfortunately she is probably used to being poked from being in the hospital so it didn't shock her. Thank goodness those days are behind us! Everything else checked out fine so we don't have to go back to the doctor for a month.

Good News




We went to the opthamologist yesterday and everything checked out fine. He doesn't need to see her back for 9 months. Very good news! Grandpa came by doesn't she look so small?! Hard to belive that is so much bigger!

Growing Like a Weed




We went to the doctor yesterday to be weighed and Bella is now 6lb 9oz! The nurse also commented on how long she was so Grant and I measured her last night and she is 19 in. long (she was 15 in at birth). I also put her in her first New Born out fit. Actually it was a couple because her premie diapers are now leaking. I can't belive how big she is already! She is still a sweetie though, just look at the sweet picture of her on my chest.

The elephant picture is to show her growth compared to when we took her picture with it in her car seat.

Tomorrow we go to the opthamologist to make sure her eyes are growing the way they should.

Not a Pumpkin Patch


Grant, Bella and I were in San Antonio this weekend spending time with some friends. While we were there we revisited a pumpkin patch from last year, but when we got there they didn't have any pumpkins! What a bummer! They said their pumpkins were coming in Tuesday. There were some pretty plants though so we took some pictures anyway.

That is actually the last time Bella will wear this outfit. She has actually grown too big for some of her clothes! Yea! People laugh at me when I say this, but she is getting so big! She gets weighed again tomorrow.
