There's lots of pictures and videos to post, but no time at all. We're busy planning our little one-year-old-to-be's birthday party, plus busy packing for our big trip!!!
Lots of things happened since I last posted. We had the holidays. We spent x-mas eve at Uncle Gil's house, went to midnight mass, and had our own little x-mas celebration with us and the grandparents at our house. Bella got a little grand piano from Santa, and she gave us a little concert. I will post that video at a later date... it's hilarious... she even gets up a little and bows. X-mas was spent at Mark's aunts house, where we had to leave early since I had to work that night.
Tom and family came home for New Year's Eve, where I was still at work, so the whole gang joined me in ringing the New Year at Walgreens! So the holidays were fun and exhausting, now we're just running around getting ready for this weekend.
So Bella is now a walker. She's been walking from furniture to furniture for a few months now, and she's taken a couple steps here and there, but I never considered that walking. But now she really walks... she walks up and down the hallways, even turning around and walking the other way! She's so cute, she keeps her hands out in front of her for balance... it's so cute!
Uncle Tom taught Bella how to clap to "If you're happy and you know it." Belly's so good, she claps on cue! So now I'm teaching her "Twinkle Twinkle" using the "close-open" hand gesture.
Anyways, so Bella's newest trick was last night. Mark and I ordered out, and we've been pretty much feeding Belly anything now. Mark decided to order her tater tots (apparently Bella has started eating her school's hot lunch plan and she's been loving tater tots). Anyways, we were sitting on the couch eating dinnr, Bella came up to me with her mouth wide open waiting for her tot. I hesistated a little, then she brought her mouth closer to me. I grabbed her tater tot, and was heading towards her mouth, when she suddenly screamed, "AHHHHHHHHHH". This was SOOOOOOOO cute!
