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.

First Haircut

Bella got her first haircut today. I am really bummed that I didn't get any pictures! It wasn't very much, just a little off the back to try and even up the layers. I did save some of the hair so I at least have that. She sat in my lap and did such a good job! She hardly squirmed at all.

Grandpa's Birthday

Today was Grandpa's birthday and we got to celebrate with him! I wish I could say that I made this delicious cherry pie, but I bought it at Central Market. I highly recomend it!

 Bella helped Grandpa blow out his candle, but...

 I didn't get a very good picture so here is the retake.:)

Happy birthday, Daddy/Grandpa! So glad we got to spend it with you! Love you!
