Oh my!

Yesterday Bella threw a temper tantrum all the way through Hobby Lobby because I made her ride in a cart.

Today I took away my scrapbooking adhesive so Bella went to the kitchen rug to lay down and cry. Then she started looking in the oven door at her reflection while she cried.

After that she was eating her applesauce with her finger. I told her several times that she needed to use her spoon when she wouldn't I went to take the bowl away and she stuck her whole hand in to try and scoop it out before I took it away.

My, my welcome to a 2 year old!

Playin' in the Pool

Bella had a ball in her new pool. I'm not sure what she likes better though. Falling back into the water or climbing back and forth over the side. Either way it is a big hit!

All By Myself

We may be a little late in starting this, but Bella ate a whole bowl of yogurt all by herself today! We've been working on it little by little, but this is the first time that I've given her the whole bowl to eat by herself. Her face was covered, but it wasn't on the floor or in her lap so I thought that was a good sign! :)

Little Things

Just a few little things that would be neat to remember.

1. You like to draw with both hands at the same time.

2. You were sharing your water with bunny today in the car.

3. Dora the Explorer and Disney's Tangled are your favorite things to watch.

4. You made a new friend on the playground today.

5. Cheese and animal crackers are your favorite foods.

6. You like to make faces in your reflection on the oven door.

7. You call Daddy "Dada" and you call Mommy "Da".

8. Your mommy and daddy love you very much!

Doctor Visit

Because of Bella being premature the doctor wanted to do a 21 month check up, which we did today. She is 35 inches tall and 27.9 pounds. That puts her in the 90th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight.

Katy Graduation

We went to Salt Lake City this weekend to see my sister-in-law graduate with her doctorate in Physical Therapy. We enjoyed beautiful weather and lots of good family time.On Saturday we went to the Red Butte Gardens. Bella was having a terrible two day, but she stopped her fussing long enough to enjoy the water.No, we did not put Bella in a cage for her bad behavior! There was a little pagoda in the Children's Garden that Bella and Grant went into. This is Bella posing for the camera.Having fun at the park before we head to the airport.Tuckered out on the plane ride home!
