The Big Sister

She is truly that, a big girl. I can't believe how much she has grown these past six months. I'm amazed daily at the things she is learning to do. Everyday she is working and getting closer to standing on her own. Currently she doesn't have the balance to do it, but she is determined.

Learning to stand is a bit easier with the Leap Frog Walker. However, she tries to do it on her own, but tends to pull the walker over on herself. It isn't exactly front heavy to keep from tipping. One day she'll get it.

Now days Bella loves to give kisses. Usually they are open mouth and slobbery, but on occasion she will deny you a kiss. It's cute when she does it.

And of course she thinks she can do everything "big people" can do. Including drink from glass bottles. Of course after attempting to drink it she started to grind her teeth against the glass. Mommy said enough was enough, but Daddy was able to catch a picture before Mommy made her mad.

Another toy she favors is her Leap Frog Learn & Groove Music Table. She discovers something new on it everyday. It also helps that Daddy shows her once or twice something new and before you know it she's got it down pat.

And due to her advanced learning skills we were finally able to purchase the Super Yard to stretch from one end of the living room to the other. It will help keep her out of trouble the more she grows. She's not sure what to think of it and hasn't bothered it yet. She has used it for balancing while trying to stand up using her table.

So, she probably will not like me for this picture, but who cares? I took it to show off her chubby little legs. Not only does she have knee wrinkles, and thigh wrinkles, but she also has hamstring wrinkles. My little piggy looks so cute will all of her rolls!

As she learns and grows she realizes she can reach things she couldn't before. She's always had a thing for her monkey in The Monkey Show. Now that she can get to her knees she tries to lick him through the plastic. Such a goof.

Last but not least, with some assistance she can stand up in the bed and play with her teething toys. Daddy got some pics tonight of her standing and falling down. She didn't like the falling down part so much, but who does?
