Happy Halloween

Halloween this year was a blast for Bella. Last Sunday we carved pumpkins and Bella loved that her Daddy made her a cat on her pumpkin. Then on Friday there was a Halloween Festival at Bella's daycare. Bella dressed up as a princess. She was fascinated with her wand. Her good friend Jericho, who Bella plays with all the time, dressed up as a dinosaur and was going around saying "Roar!" Bella spent the night dancing with Jericho and her other classmates, eating cupcakes, and by the time it was ready to go home, she didnt want to leave. It was a fun-filled night and a great Halloween. Although trick-or-treating will be waiting for us in the future, I dont think Bella is ready for that experience. She is still quite shy and most likely wont walk up to strangers to get candy. For now, we'll just enjoy watching everyone else trick-or-treating and spending family time watching movies together.

Fall into Fun

Have you heard the news? This month we found out that Bella will be a big sister to a lucky little one. She is praying for a sister, and her daddy is hoping for a son, so at least mommy will make someone happy. Aside from the wonderful news (and feeling under the weather with a bit of sleepiness), we have been encountering technical difficulties. We had computer issues which is why this post is SO late arriving.

Now on to the good stuff. Bella has been enjoying this fall. She loves driving home looking at all the Halloween decorations in people's yards. We spent one afternoon going pumpkin picking. She really enjoyed it. We're about to carve pumpkins this weekend so new pictures will follow. Aside from the wonderful fall times, Bella loves watching Beauty and the Beast (thanks Aunt E!). We have to watch it a little each day, and just yesterday she started singing along. She is a big helper to mommy already although she loves to be in control. As independent as always, she lately has started sleeping in bed with mom. This doesnt always work out so well because she loves to twist and turn in her sleep. I've awoken to find her at the foot of the bed, and one time when Bryan came home he found her head facing toward me and her feet dangling off the side of the bed. She's so fun, it's wonderful being a mom!
