Mommy's Taking Over

Hello Everyone!! Joe has totally dropped the ball on keeping up on our blog, so he has turned the responsibility over to me. Now that he is back to work and the "daily grind" he has not been able to find the extra time to keep up with it, SO he has told me to give it a shot.

So let's see....a lot of time has gone by since his last post. Bella is now almost 3 months old!! Where does the time go?? Each day just seems to get better and better. Everyday she is learning something new and doing something that makes us laugh. I have gotten the privilege of staying home with her for 13 weeks and I wouldn't trade this time for anything. It has been the best 13 weeks of my life. Becoming parents has been the greatest blessing that Joe and I could have asked for. I am due to go back to work on Oct 1st, and needless to say I am very sad to have to close this chapter in my life. I will no longer get to spend every waking moment with my angel and I am going to miss her terribly. For now, I am not going to spend much time thinking about that but rather making each day count that I have left.

Bella had her 2 month check up where she weighed 10 lbs 2 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. She is growing like a weed! Of course there was also the 4 shots that she had to have too :( very sad to watch but she was pretty brave. She was baptized in early August and a big THANK YOU to all of you that were able to share in that special day. She is such a good baby, she has been sleeping through the night for a while now and gives us big smiles during the day. We have gone on a couple play dates with my cousin and her babies which has been really fun. We got her pictures taken which was quite the experience but she did very good. I was going to be happy if we got one where she was smiling, but we ended up with way too many to choose from!! (I posted a couple for you to see)

So that is a very quick glance at the past couple months...there will be much more to come!
