6 weeks
Yes, I am very aware that I left out week # 5. Things have been rather wild around here and I have been a bad blogger. Bella is starting to smile. I have gotten her to smile a couple of times now. It is so sweet but it doesn't last for very long. I haven't been able to get a picture of it yet. She has had a few really fussy days lately. We are starting to get very creative to try and figure out why she is crying, or screaming. This has led to her newest nickname "fussbucket". One thing about it though, when you get her calmed down there is a great sense of accomplishment!! She is getting stronger and stronger, holding her head up for longer periods of time and even trying to push up while on her tummy. She is sleeping pretty good at night. Sometimes we get 5 whole hours of sleep in a row!!! AWESOME!!! Those that know me well know that I LOVE my sleep. I don't know what I am going to do when I have to go back to work and can't take her morning nap with her. It will be sad times for me, that is for sure!!

A visit to Corsicana
June 27, 2008
On Friday we decided to take a trip North to Corsicana to visit with Terry's family for the afternoon. Terry's grandmother had not been able to see Bella because her doctor is not allowing her to travel at this time. We had a very nice afternoon visiting and Bella enjoyed getting to meet her great grandmother and hang out with her grandparents, Uncle Randy and cousins Stephanie and Justin. She did surprisingly well in the car. She tuned up a bit in the Conroe traffic as I suspected she would but all things considered I was very proud of her.
Mama, Daddy and Bella
4 Generations
Bella with Papa and Granny Gail

Justin was entirely to into his poses to pay any attention to Bella. You should have seen his "model walk". That kid is HILARIOUS!!
Stephanie and Bella. I like to call Stephanie the baby whisperer. Bella went to sleep every time Steph held her. AMAZING!! Also Congratulations to Stephanie, she graduated from high school this year!!!
We made it home with no problem. We are going on vacation in two weeks. Let's hope Bella will travel well then also. Say a little prayer for us......

Bella's first Dynamo Game
June 26, 2008
Check out her bow I had made for soccer games.
"Let's Go DYNAMO!"
Love this girl!!!
We took Bella to her first Dynamo game last week. I'm pretty sure she loved it!! She was so good, partly because she loves to be outside. I was so impressed with how good she was though. People were stopping us all the way to and from our seats to look at our girl. I am amazed at the amount of men that tell us how pretty she is...obviously they know beauty when they see it!!

Love this girl!!!Tiny Dancer's First Recital
June 22, 2008
Courtney had her first dance recital. Her class performed a tap dance. We were worried that she may not dance because she did not move at any of the dress rehearsals or while getting her recital picture taken. But the girl came through and danced her little heart out. I was so proud of her I even started tearing up. I really hope she will continue to dance. She took lots of pictures with her fans!!!!
Nervous before the show!
After the show!!!
Gorgeous!!!!!
I love this picture with her daddy.
