Glen Lake Girls

Some girlfriends from college and I all worked at Glen Lake Camp and Retreat Center for some summers and we still get together once a month to have dinner, sleepovers or play dates. In the group there are 8 children and 6 of them are girls.

At the beginning of this month we had a play date and got all the kids together (except for 1 who was with his grandparents) and got this cute picture. Don't we have adorable children?! The three babies were born within a few weeks of each other and Bella is the oldest, but used to be the smallest. Isn't it amazing how time changes things?

Another Tooth

It looks like we are getting another tooth! You can definitely tell that Grant and I are new parents because when she started eating less and sleeping more and being inconsolable we immediately thought something was wrong and took her to the doctor. Dr. Tom was very gracious and assured us, with out making us feel too silly, that everything is fine and that it was probably just the tooth. So much for being the star, laid back, new parents. :).

We did get new measurements while we were there. She is 18lb 15oz and I just did the math on what I thought her length was and there is no way she is 44" long. That would put her at 3' (right?). She's getting long, but not that long.

Bella still has no interest in crawling. She won't even stay up on her knees if I put her up on them. She immediately flattens herself out. She's getting pretty steady on her feet so the Dr. suggested maybe she won't crawl so we're going to start working on the walking and see if we have any better luck with that. Dr. Tom wasn't concerned that she wasn't crawling. He said her coordination seemed to be developing fine she may just be content to stay stationary. Maybe that is one downside of having such a content baby. Or is it a downside that I'm not having to chase her all over yet? Hmmm?

4th of July

For the 4th we went with our friends the Thomases to a ranch rodeo in Granbury and watched the fireworks afterward. Bella was Mesorized! Did you know that Granbury's fireworks show is rated the 9th best in the southwest? Here are some pics.
