Still alive

How long has it been? I know, too long. I am just enjoying the real life talking to people at night instead of blogging. So, One day I will catch up, and hope I remember everything.
In the meantime, before I relive our summer here, I will do a little Bella boo update:

She is still a chill baby, and all smiles, take a look:





Okay, so maybe she is not so much a baby anymore, at 14 months old, where did the time go?
She can take about ten steps on her own, but really prefers to speed crawl. She is babbling and talking like crazy, some of it is understandable, and she is really understanding more too: she says things like: Da-dee, dog-gee, CC, Pop-pee, mama, cracker (craaa er). She can feed herself with a spoon (with double bib action), but she manages to get most of it in her mouth. She is still quite tiny for her age. At her last appointment she had dropped off her curve some, but we have been really trying to fatten her up. She seems perfect, but she really looks like a ten month old. Developmentally though she is all there.
We love this little girl, did I mention, she was still SO cute!
The other evening when Sophia prayed she said: 'thank you God for Bella boosk.' (this is a nick name we call her some times, I just smiled, we thank God for our Bella boosk!

On the road again

Sophia, Bella, CC, and I spent last week without the guys hanging out and getting ready for our trip to Florida, which commences tomorrow. We will be on the road for a LONG time! Hope to catch up blogging sometime.... so many more fun things to post....

A tidbit.
While daddy was away Sophia talked to him every night before bed, this just happened to be the time that they were on the bus on the way back to the dorms where they were staying (OshKosh, Wi). He would always tell her about all the airplanes they saw every day and then tell her he was on the bus. By the third night of saying this she said: 'it sure is taking you a long time to get there!'
