Labor Day

I know I haven't been great at posting since Isabella was born. Quite frankly I think I am doing good to even get to work everyday. Notice there was nothing mentioned about making it to "on time". That is not really happening. I try, but to no avail. Anyway I have some catching up to do, so I will do that here.

On Labor Day we went over to my parents house for burgers. It was the first time all 3 new babies were in the same place. This was definelty a picture oppurtunity.We played baby switch-a-roo!! Musical babies. Whatever you would like to call it. Notice Ryan checking out Lexi.

Now we have it right. Ryan is now VERY interested in Lexi!!

Now Ryan is quite interested in his other cousin. He was hilarious. He would not look at the camera. He was far to concerned with these other two girlies. Watch our Ryan, I foresee some dress-up play in your future!

Labor day was definitely a day of firsts. Bella got a Bumbo chair. Terry had taken her out of church on Sunday and into the nursery, Tilly's mama Lindsay was telling Terry about the chair and he HAD to have one. She isn't great at sitting in it yet, but she is getting better.

At least she appears to be having a good time!!

Now you can see how she normally sits in it. She has figured out the lazy way to prop herself up. And yes she is trying to put her paci in her mouth. She gets it every once in a while. And no your eyes aren't fooling you, she is wearing a different bow in the second picture. It was brand new and matched so we had to try it out.

Here are some random pictures from Labor Day.And I saved the best for last. Daddy and Bella watching TV!!!

Look who came to see me at work today!!!!

Happy Anniversay to US!!

Eight years.....WoW!!! It truly has been an amazing 8 years with my sweet husband. We have had a blast and I can't wait to see what the next 8+ years will bring us. He sent me some beautiful flowers today and took Bella and I out to eat. He is taking me somewhere Friday night. He says it's a surprise!!! I'll let ya'll in on the secret as soon as I find out...

I love you Terry!!! You are the best Hubby ever!!!

Isabella is 3 months old!

I can't believe Isabella is 3 months old!!! She has been so much fun. Her personality is coming through daily. Terry and I both think she is going to be a little goofy. But hey, she comes by it naturally. Neither one of us ever claimed we weren't goofy. We get lots of smiles and are waiting very patiently for a giggle or two. She loves the silly sounds Daddy makes. She is starting to push up a little bit when she is on her tummy. It amazes me how quickly she is changing. She loves to kick at her toys. Terry says she is practicing for her soccer stardom one day.

It has been really hard for me to leave her everyday. Most mornings she is still asleep when I leave, but on the mornings she is awake and smiling I usually end up being late. Well lets face it, I'm usually late anyway. I'm already looking forward to Thanksgiving break so that I can spend a whole week with her. Going back to work has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I have been successful. I have a picture of her the desktop of my computer at work. I have two monitors one of which I rarely use so I see her pretty little sleeping face on it all day long. Sometimes I find myself just staring, then I get sad and I have to bring myself back to reality. Kids come back Monday so I know that I will stay busy but I will still miss her like crazy. Thank goodness for NANA!!! At least I know she is being loved on all day.

OOPS!!! HELP!!

Look at that face!!! I just want to kiss her all day long!!!
She is our SUNSHINE!!!

Baby's got a new pair of shoes!!

I had to take pictures of Bella wearing shoes for the first time. Silly, I know, but I couldn't help it. She looked like such a big girl. Anyway, just thought I would post some precious pictures of her.





We are seeing more and more of this precious smile!!! We LOVE it!!!

Bella in Action

Terry's words!

Tomorrow is Emily's last day home with Bella before she returns to work. I know it seems like a small thing to many of you, but for us, after many years of waiting for Bella to be here it is hard to let her go. We havent even let someone else baby sit her yet. We are not being self fish, we just cherish every moment with her. On Thursday, if you have a moment, send Em a text or an email with some encouraging words. We thank all of you for the love and support that you have given us over the years.

GOD BLESS!
