All about Bella!

Baby Bella is quickly becoming a little toddler! She is a sweet baby and enjoys cuddling up with a book on Mama or Dada's lap.  She is our little mermaid and has always liked splashing in the water during bath time or at the pool. She really likes going under at the pool, which is amazing because William was terrified until he was 4 and now he can't get enough. She is a water beach baby after all.

Here are some fun facts about our little girl.  

Favorite book(s) - her favorite book is The Three Bears. Other favorites include The Little Mermaid, and Good Night Moon.

Words - Bella is an early talker and has many words, including Mama, Dada, Mermaid, more, brother, Curious George, dog, bottle, that (everything is "that"), and Bella. We ask her "what is your Name?" And she answers "BeBa" lol. She is a cutie and we love hearing her voice come out. 

Songs - we have so many favorite songs but some of her favorites are "Old McDonald," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Hey Dilly, Dilly." She seems to have some natural rhythm and can humm "Old McDonald" really well, as well as other melodies. 

 

Physical Development - She is into everything, and I mean everything. We have to watch her like a hawk. She is also climbing on everything. She has been able to stand on her two feet for a few months and can stand up by herself. She is cruising on furniture and walls. She can stand up on her own and has taken 5 to 6 steps at a time. So I guess technically she has started walking. 

Favorite Toys - she likes taking things in and out of bags and containers. One of her favorite things to do is take all the books off of bookshelves, which gets interesting at the library. She also loves anything Big Bro is playing with. She will destroy any toy set up William has going on. William is good with her and thinks its funny but has started to close the door in his room so he can build whatever he wants without disturbance. Kind of funny.

Animal noises - Bella now knows a few animal sounds including cow, horse, bird, monkey, and cat. We ask her "what does the cow say?" and she says "moo." I need to get a video of this.  

Foods - she loves to eat just like her brother. Her favorites I would say are bananas and strawberries but she also likes blueberries, watermelon, and of course, pineapple. Favorite veggies include avocado, sweet potatoes, and peas. She is definitely not a vegetarian, she likes meat, steak and chicken. She also likes yogurt and fruit smoothies I make at home. For now she eats great but you never know when that could change. 

She loves to blow kisses, give high fives, dance, clap, color, make big messes, and hug her stuffed animals. She is a dream and we can't get enough of our little girly love baby!
