Happy Halloween!

Can you guess what I am? Yes... I'm a little lady - ladybug that is. And I'm just as sweet as can be! Now that I have been sleeping more at night, I really can say I've been sweet to my parents. Happy Halloween!

Quality time with Dad

I just love my daddy! He is so good to me. He lets me sleep and crawl all over him, he plays with me (OK so maybe I really do want to eat that silly cow), and he lets me share some of his tasty beverages. He is definitely the coolest!

Happy Birthday to me!

Bella Jo has turned 6 months old, it's hard to believe! She is now 20 lbs. and 27 1/2 in. long. Although she is still not sleeping through the night, she is a bundle of energy otherwise. She is a very happy baby. She loves to watch Hunter play with his toys and bark at things (she giggles at that). She loves to eat foods that are orange - sweet potatoes, squash, and mixed vegetables. And she loves to eat her socks - not a day goes by where she does have them sopping wet! We are as pleased as can be with having her in our life.

Beep-Beep!

This past weekend we were shopping at Target. Low and behold, one of the end caps had a display of little wagons. Just for a laugh, we put Bella in one and tried rolling her around. She loved it! For the rest of our Target trip, we pulled her around in her new wagon. Now we put her in it around the house and take her for a "ride." She'll play in it with her toys, as content as can be. But don't let her fool you.... she's up to something with that grin on her face!

Cookie Monster!

Bella was caught red-handed this weekend! No wonder she earned herself the nickname "Chunky Monkey!" Bella has been getting into everything she can put her hands on. She grabs for anything in sight, whether it's the afternoon mail, mom and dad's food, or Hunter's toys, she loves to get a taste of it, too. Sometimes we end up having a tug of war contest. This time it just so happened to be reaching for a plate of Halloween cookies - the moment was priceless! Now she has earned a new nickname.... Cookie Monster!

General Information

We hope to post often about Bella Jo Rowell's triumphs, tribulations, and just plain good ol' days. We realize that many people are asking for pictures all the time. Oftentimes, it is too difficult for us to send massive emails constantly. Thus, we figured it was time to make a change - welcome to the world of blogging!
