Hope you have a minute....or two

So it has been a while since I have posted anything! Here are some pictures of what Ana Bella has been up to lately.....


My baby isn't a baby any more!
Walking around and showing off the new shoes
We went to walk the Big Dam Bridge
And to the Zoo
After bath time

Being silly...she makes so many faces

Playing Peek-a-Boo

Shout out to Aunt LeAnn

Big girl PJs

We used this moses basket a lot when Ana Bella was born, but once she started rolling over we stopped using it....she has now started climbing in and out of it and watching cartoons!!

Go Hogs Go

She loves to play under her highchair and the Jumperoo

Watching The Incredibles in her basket! She also loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny

Watching TV w/Uncle Grant

Trying on Uncle Grant's Rookie of the Year belt

Even though we didn't go to the game...we still supported the Hogs!!
And decided to get Ana Bella's ears pierced!

She did so good. I cried more than she did!! They are so cute!

Trying to get a picture where you can see the ear rings!

Best I could do!!!

More pictures to come next week after Ana Bella's 1st Birthday!!!

July 2008

July has been a busy month! I feel like Ana Bella has gone from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds! She is a super crawler, is pulling up, feeding herself and talking all the time! She is so much fun, but quite a handful! I just love watching her discover new things! Here are a few pictures from the last month!


Just hanging out
Self feeding

Happy 4th of July (I couldn't get her to look at me, she's a bit hard headed like that)
Going for a swim at Lake DeGray. Todd and Grant got Ana Bella her mode of transportation for the weekend!!

Hello.....is anyone out there???

Adventures in Self Feeding....she LOVED the spaghetti!!! Maybe she just LOVED playing with it!

I just love this picutre!!!

One of her favorite places to pull up!!

9 Months Old!!

Ana Bella turned nine months on the 14th! I can't believe how fast it has gone by! She is starting to act and look like a little girl instead of a baby! Kind of sad, but this age is so much fun! We went today for Ana Bella's nine month check up and it went great! Here are a few stats on her:
-she weighs 19 lbs
-she is 27 inches long
-she started crawling last week and is already a pro!
-she can say her d's, m's, b's, g's and working on t's
-she is pulling to her knees, but not standing up yet
-she will go to anyone that wants to hold her and is a big flirt with the guys!
-she has 2 teeth on the bottom and seems to be working on a few more
-she loves the water! every time I have to get her out of the bath she throws the biggest fit and she loves swimming in the pool!
We are having so much fun watching her discover new things and developing her little personality!

Doing the splits! Maybe she will be a gymnast??
Fake crying!
This is what happens when we go to Todd's house!
Not wanting to sleep in the pack and play!

Ana Bella

Ana Bella hasn't started crawling yet, but she moves around in circles to get where she wants and what she wants!!

Before Ana Bella's first swim
Swimming! She LOVED it!!
I left Ana Bella in the living room playing with a few toys while I was cleaning around her. After a short while she had pulled almost every toy out of the basket!
She is trying so hard to get up on her hands and knees to crawl! I am sure that she will get it down soon!

#1 DAD

Here are a few pictures of Ana Bella w/Daddy! They are so in love with each other and I love watching them together!!

It has been a while!

We have been super busy lately! I started a new job!! Alejandro has been working non-stop!! And Ana Bella is growing and growing and growing!!

Ana Bella is 8 months old!! She is doing so much now! She is a little rolling queen and is working on crawling, but tends to only move in a circle or backwards! She has two teeth on the bottom and as always is so active!! We are just amazed daily by the things she does and "says"!!

We are so excited for the summer!! Alejandro's sister and her husband have a pool and I can't wait for Ana Bella to take her first swim!! Plus Ana Bella will have several new friends this summer....Addelyn Harrison, Baylee Busch, and Baby Smith, so we can't wait for their arrivals and to meet them! And Alejandro is going to Honduras with our church on a mission trip at the end of June! Besides that we are planning a pretty low key summer!!

Here are a few pictures from the last few months.....


Jax's 1st Birthday Party....I think he said something funny!!!


Ana Bella LOVES bathtime! She gets so upset when I have to take her out!


Trying to get a picture of her teeth, but all she would do is grab for the camera or stick out her tounge!


Being silly and playing!


Finally a picture of the teeth!


Pretty girl! Somehow she inherited all the recessive genes in the family...blue eyes and light hair. But one thing she did inherit is her daddy's ear that sticks out! Ana Bella's left ear sticks out and Alejandro's right ear sticks out, so there is no denying her!!!!

Trying jello. Of course she loved it! First time in a restaurant high chair
She wanted to order something from the menu, she chose applesauce..
