Thanksgiving

So I'm a little behind on my blogging...
Thanksgiving was quiet this year. It was Ann, Melinda, Grant, Bella and I. Bella loved being Gran's right hand girl!

This is how Grant spent most of his Thanksgiving morning.

Taking Care of Mamma

Yesterday Bella covered me up with her special blanket, gave me her special bunny, brought over her little chair and started ready books too me. She said, "Mommy tired."

Santa

I took Bella to see Santa before Thanksgiving and as you can see from the photos she wasn't very keen on the idea. The only way she would go anywhere near him was if I was holding her. I was not planning on being in the photo. I love the progression! Today though, we were at the mall and when we got back to the car she asked to go sit on Santa's lap. I don't know where that came from, but I didn't test her to see if she really meant it. It was too close to nap time. :)

Baylor-Tech Game

So Ann took Grant, Melinda, her boyfriend Eric, and me to the Baylor-Tech game, Saturday. Imagine being a Tech fan, in between two Baylor alumni, on the Baylor side and that was me. It was brutal! Grant was very composed, but Ann was just down right giddy! I guess I don't blame her. It has been a long time since Baylor has had a winning season and they did play well. Here is a picture of our awesome seats. Thank you Ann!

Potty!

Monday, Bella and I went to get her a potty chair and yesterday she actually told me she had to go potty and then went! What a great birthday present! Then she went again today! We aren't consistent yet, but it's a start. I may have to go to Pull Ups instead of diapers because getting her diapers back on her after is a battle of the wills. Of course it doesn't help that we have to put her potty in our bathroom because there isn't room for it in the guest bathroom, next to her room. I have to lay her down on our bathroom floor or bring her changing pad into our bedroom. I don't think we're ready to go cold turkey and use panties. That may be just me, but I don't think she's that aware all the time. Wow! I hope I'm ready for this!

Bunny Band-aid

Our beloved bunny is definitely showing his age. He had a hole in his ear, but Aunt Melinda came to the rescue with a bunny band-aid. Note that the fabric matches Bella's bedding.

Hair Pictures

Here is a picture of what Bella's hair looks like after the haircut. Not that much different, we just evened up the layers a bit. I haven't tried to put her hair in pigtails yet it might be just a tad too short for that.

 

 This picture was just too cute not to post.
