Our tired Big girl after her July 4th fun.
Anna's boyfriend Henry. Henry and his mom Jessica have come to visit every week since Anna was born. We look forward to their visits.
Bella had her first trip to Build-A-Bear. Grandmomma and Granny(great grandmother) joined us. The idea, of course, came from Grandmomma. It was a fun time.

Growing baby Anna
Sweet girls. Bella does really well with Anna. She is mostly gentle and kind...but you can tell she is ready for Anna to play with her.
Bella enjoyed 2 pieces of Papa Johns pizza. It is one of the few foods she will eat.
Park Fun: We enjoyed a Saturday evening at a local new park. The playground is great for Bella's age. We look forward to going back and checking out the walking trails.
Bella sporting her GA hat backwards.
First time liking the swings.
Can't stop to pose with mommy.

Can't wear enough beads...at least when I'm in my PJs
Crib time
Our good friends and convienently neighbors too, Chad and Christina, came over last Friday night. Jason cooked some great ribs and the guys played pool until Bella joined in on the fun. Playing with the pool balls is now her favorite activity. It takes a good distraction to get her away from them....although, it is nice to clean the whole kitchen(yes! the pool table is in the kitchen) and have her be entertained.
She has now added the word "step" to her vocabulary. She is putting her princess step stool to use...grandma bought it to use in the bathroom for washing hands and brushing teeth...we are getting early extra use out of it. She pushes the stool from corner to corner and plays with the balls.

Anna attending her first birthday party. Another neighbor, Jeslyn Thomas turned one. She had a cute outdoor water party. There were three small pools and some slip-n-slides set up. There are no pictures of Bella at the party because she was all in the action and keeping us too busy to take pictures.
Fun party favors.

Anna in the swing for the first time. I'm sure she is liking a change from the bouncy seat.
One of the few quick snapshots of Bella with a hairbow in her hair. She pulled it out 2 seconds later. We had just bought new Dora ones. Guess you have to pick your battles. At least the GA hat is pink.
So far Anna likes tummy time.
One of Bella's many faces.
Got to take snooze breaks when you can around here!
July times have been good times. It is definitely a challenge having 2 kids under the age of 2 but it is a challenge we wanted and prayed for. The days are full of changing diapers, coloring, nursing, playing with pool balls, dancing, disciplining, and the list goes on. I would not change a thing. We go to bed singing the Barney song and I wake up at 4 am with it in my head. You just laugh and live in the moment, knowing we never get these moments back. God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
