Easter

We started celebrating on Friday with Papa T and Nana. They had an Easter Egg Hunt. She was all about putting them in her basket and then throwing them all out. She also loved her bunny ears.

Saturday we colored Easter Eggs and then put stickers all over them, since that seems to be one of her favorite things to do these days.

Sunday we got dressed up in our Easter dresses went to the Phoenician for brunch.

The Easter Bunny was okay from a distance, but she hung on close to dad when he got close.

Waiting to eat, so we played with crayons.

Being so grown up

I had my 28 week appointment today. It kind of shocked me when Dr. Watters said see you in three weeks and then we'll start every 2 weeks. Gabby had a great heartbeat and we are anxious for her to get here...I just forget that it is around the corner. Time has flown by faster this time around...especially with focusing on Bella...and now that it is heating up here I am really ready for her to be here. I did buy her a swimsuit, so I know where we'll be this summer - in Papa T's pool!

Bella loves my cell phone. I have so many pictures of her "talking" on it. Sorry to everyone she accidentally speed dials. She was funny carrying her purse around and talking on the phone, then she looked at me and says bye and walked to the door.
This past weekend we went to Babies R Us and got Gabby's bedding. Of course we had to buy Bella a toy since she was really good in the cart. We came home and she decided it was fun to vacuum with Mommy and the ever expanding Belly.
On the phone again...she loves to talk until we actually call someone for her to talk to then she just stares at the phone and won't say anything.
I loved her reading the other morning. She loves her ladybug book.
Bella is growing up so fast and is so funny. She loves shoes and has decided that it is fun to walk around in my flip flops. I got this video of her the other day and she was just too funny.

I love Bella' laugh, especially when she really gets going. She was in the car last night and I gave her the mail to hold and she dropped something and for some reason it just cracked her up. Then Zona was into a "kissing" mood and tickled Bella under her chin.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

Upon Request New Videos and Pictures

Here are new videos and pictures of Bella - since Uncle Ryan can't seem to get enough of his crazy niece.

Bella takes after me and eating her chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce.

She has become VERY attached to her blankets. She has to hold all of them in the morning before she eats. Makes me wonder why she throws them out of the crib in the morning.
She looks more grown up everyday. It seems she is getting taller, but last time we measured her she was still 31 inches. Maybe by her 18 month check up next month she would have grown a little more.
I love her smile.
All smiles when daddy walks in the door. Definitely Daddy's Little Girl.
She was doing the actions for 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed until Zona came in and gave her some morning kisses.

She has become very vocal lately and is now getting frustrated when you don't understand her or she can't get her words out. Here are a few new words (well some) that she's saying these days.

I'm not sure what she was doing this morning, but it was funny - some type of song with hand motions. She also loves climbing into our bathtub - well climbing on anything works for her.

Quack Quack

Mommy had a scare on Friday, when I went to get Bella out of bed her leg was stuck between the bars. After almost 10 minutes I finally got her out, but she had a huge bruise on her leg...so we went to Nana's for the day to hang out with Uncle Ryan. While we were there, Bella got to feed the ducks. Papa and Nana have ducks in their pool, and since they keep feeding them they probably won't be going away anytime soon.

Props to Uncle Chad

Uncle Chad caught this giant Marlin in Cabo last week. It weighed 129 lbs and was 122 inches long. It long took him 45 minutes to reel this in!!! We can't wait to see it hanging above the bed :). CORRECTION: 200 pound marlin...sorry Pugs I guess dad wanted to pretend the fish he caught a few years ago was bigger than yours!
