the only time she has let me put her hair up, now that she has some.
love this outfit Poppy and CC sent, we called her strawberry shortcake all day.
Bella definitely competes with Sophia on being chatty these days...she goes through life and narrates what is going on...it is quite hilarious. Will Tobin be able to get a word in? He did coo back at daddy the other day...
One night at dinner, David was instilling some discipline and said to Bella:
'do not say 'no' to mommy.'
Her reply? 'no, daddy.' (I smile and look the other way)
Changing her diaper, the sticky tape stuck to her leg:
'ouch. Mommy you got me...' and she giggles 'you got me momma, ha ha...hee.hee.'
She was standing there rocking her baby doll when I smelled a foul odor:
'Bella, do you have a poo poo?'
'no, it is my baby.....let me smell (turns baby over and smells her bottom)...(with a face of disgust and concern) Diarrhea!'
Another time of discipline:
she will say 'ouch, that hurts' but she will not cry, she is a tough cookie.
one time she said that same phrase to David and then as he continued talking to her he just tapped her lightly with the spoon and finished his lecture, she said: 'I like that spanking.'
Any time she hears fire crackers (which is almost daily, as the funeral processions go right by our house on the way to the cemetary and any time there is a new store opening they go off), she says: 'bian paos (firecracker in chinese), I'm scared' and she covers her ears.
She has a serious whiny voice, that is so pouty cute, but we are really trying now to get her to 'say it in a normal voice,' and 'use your words' She is catching on.
'Tobin smelled at me!!!" (Tobin smiled at me), she loves it when he smiles. So do we.
