Bella Update

Well, Bella had her 15 month checkup at the Ped's office. She is 20 lbs 14 oz, and about 30" tall. She is in the 24th percentile for her weight and in the 50th percentile for her height. So for now, she still has to stay on formula - but at least she is making some gains!!

She is just babbling away...some of her favorite words and phrases to say are: "Who's that? Where are you? How are youuuuu? book or bookahbook, Ta-da (stands for Tasha, Grandaddy & Gigi's dog), Hi-Hi, Bye, Dada, Bahbah (stands for momma - she used to say momma!), and baby.

Some of her favorite things to do are: walk around and around objects or people, read books, watch Jack's Big Music Show on the Noggin channel (love that this is a commercial-free channel!), go outside for a jog in her stroller, pretend talk on her phone (she'll say "hi hi hi hi hi" nonstop & if she doesn't find a phone handy, she'll put her paci up to her ear or the next handiest object), roll around on her big stuffed puppy dog, dance-dance-dance to any music she hears (she also "chair-dances" in her high-chair), and put anything in her mouth.

She likes ice water in her sippy cup. We haven't been able to get her to drink her milk out of her sippy, so she's still on a bottle. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? She's eating diced fruit, scrambled eggs and smushed bananas, as well as chunky food. She loves her YoBaby yogurt.

Bella has been SUCH an easy baby. She is so relaxed and easygoing. She has been such a huge blessing! Brady & I are just really enjoying our time with her and marveling at what she does every day.
