It is so funny how every day is different with Bella. Over the past few days, she has decided that it is fun to do everything with her tongue sticking out - crawling, standing, sitting, playing, etc. I don't know why this fascination has just now come about...she's been sticking her tongue out for awhile now, but it's kinda funny. She has also decided to use her crib and play-yard as her teething object. There are teeth marks all over it!!!
We have started to give Bella "big people" food...and she's not to sure about it. She likes toast and some chicken mini-hot dogs (I think she likes to play with it more than eat it - see below), but apples, carrots and pasta she won't touch. When we give her pasta she will eat the sauce and spit out the pasta pieces. I'm sure she'll get used to it eventually...I mean she's part Italian how can she not like pasta!!! The apples I can't figure out, since she likes dried apples and applesauce, but not cut up apples. 
Her other big news is that she is standing longer and longer by herself. Today she stood for a good 25-30 seconds balancing herself with her toes. Yesterday, Joel said they were playing and she just stood up from the sitting on the ground with no help from any object or grabbing onto someone. We are still trying to get documentation of this feat, but every time she sees the camera shes gets down and crawls over to it.
Last but not least, she now gives "five" and waves bye-bye...although it is pretty much the same action of her waving her arm around it's still really cute. Hope all is well.

Teething on her crib sounds like her father. We still have the end of the crib that has the teeth marks where Joel chewed on it! Can't wait to see her this week-end. -Granna
She must take after her Uncle Chad on chewing up the crib. At least he was our last baby and we didn't have to use the crib again. Nana
