Bellaisms

          Straight from my little comediene:

-"Mommy my tummy is runnin' off"

-" Mommy, do you wanna play play play play play-doh?"

- "You have got to be kidding me"

-"Look at these tapestries" (I kid you not)

    In other news Bella is doing great in her Puggles class at church and is warming up to her Moppets group.  She now wants to tell the kids about her stickers for instance and is even participating in discussion in Puggles. She is both hilarious and rebellious all at the same time.  Just coming from her mother and I am sure most that love her, her laugh lights up the world.

"My Best Friend"

No she's not naked but she is playing with Christmas cards

Doesn't he look happy?

He's smiling!
     Bella says Juno is her best friend. She regularly chokes him, pulls his tail, and even smacks his head. We are constantly telling her that this is mean. He gets her back though by mouthing her or her toys. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

With Mike

     Thanksgiving 2008 found us at our home hosting our first Thanksgiving. Mike did most of the cooking and did a great job at that. We had copious leftovers and the Holmes and Compton families joined us.  We are also hosting Christmas this year and are really looking forward to seeing Bella on Christmas morning at home. We are thinking of doing an untraditional  meal and I am really excited about it. Happy Holiday Season everyone!

Me and Mike

     This past weekend we went home to Daytona to see family and so Mike could go play golf with Tony and his Uncle Mel. Uncle Mel and Aunt Bobbie are in town for Thanksgiving from New Jersey. We met them in Orlando for dinner at an Italian restaurant named Pacino's and it was yummmy! Bella and I got to spend a little time with my mom as well. There never seems to be enough time.  As usual it was a whirlwind weekend that flew by. We were home in time to eat  dinner with the Fariello's and for Bella to play with Ethan. She quickly became very sick and had a fever of 100 this morning. It has broken but she is still really stuffed up. We are getting family photos made this evening so I hope she feels better by then. Wish us luck!

     In other news Juno was just neutered and seems to act as if  nothing has happened. The pictures above are the evening of and he was half off the couch.  Funny! 

     Bella has also shown a new interest in going on the potty. Nothing has happened so far but she actually wants to go sit on it. She tells us she has to go and pulls down her pants and even wants to go into the bathroom by herself and she even shuts the door like she needs privacy. She is just plain hilarious. 

She's come out of the closet

The guilty parties
See Mommy I share with Juno

     Bella has this uncanny knack for wanting to eat inappropriate foods at inappropriate times. For example, candy right before dinner, crackers or goldfish for breakfast etc. Because I usually say no, she has taken matters into her own hands. Yesterday, I couldn't find her and she was awfully quiet so I went hunting. And there she was sitting in the pantry eating Wheat Thins. Yes, they are good for you but will ruin a kid's appetite. It gets better... At 4:45 this morning I hear crunching in our room. At first  thought it was Juno licking himself and tried to ignore it but when it wouldn't stop I got up to check it out. I found Bella at the foot of our bed on hte floor eating out of a huge box of Goldfish. Mike must have left them out in the living room before he went to bed and she just grabbed them on the way to our room.  Nothing comes between this kid and her Goldfish!
