Bella is 6 months old

Bella had her 6 month old pictures taken this past weekend. Where does the time go? She's already mastered crawling and pulling up, so Jen had her work cut out for her. Here are some of my favorites. It was hard to choose, so I posted most of them!


This one is my favorite!

She kept trying to taste the boa, so it didn't last for long.

She had a hard time trying to crawl away with that tu-tu in the way!

Mud Mountain Dam

We went to Mud Mountain Dam this past weekend. We packed a big picnic, played at the playground and Kayden and James went for a hike while Bella and I hung out in the car for nap time. It was a little chilly, but what can you expect from spring here in the Pacific NW? We were just glad to get out of the house and do something fun as a family.

Bella was a big fan of the banana pudding I made. She could hardly wait for her turn!

Hamming around

I tried to get a picture of them sitting together. Bella wasn't as thrilled with the idea as Kayden was, but she hung in there for a couple shots.

I bought a little crate to put Bella's ever growing collection of toys in. True to form for most kids, she found she'd rather play in the toy bin than with the toys.

Grandma's visit

My mom came up for the weekend. Her sole purpose? To spoil the babies. We had a great time, though I wish she could have stayed longer.
