It's been a pretty uneventful week so far, and in my book that is really nice every once in a while. Bella and I have stayed pretty close to home spending some quality time together, (she has been extra clingly lately) I'm thinking she may be sensing the big change in her life. We did make a couple more successful trips to the gym, and I'm happy to report that everything is still going great in the child watch area !!! I even wrote a note to the manager because Bella's friend in the child watch is AMAZING with her.
Bella will be happy to tell you though, she has a big "ouchy" on her thumb. A couple of weeks ago her thumb somehow got slammed in the shower door. Hmmmm I wonder who is responsible for that ????(hint: not mommy) Well her nail is officially falling off, and it kept bleeding all day on Tuesday. Enough for me to call the doctor, they were thoughtful enough to tell me to save my co-pay and told me how to bandage it properly. Well...we now know Bella HATES bandaids on her thumb. She turned purple, she was screaming so hard. Needless to say we opted against the bandaid. Daddy did try again when he came home, and that was a bust. So we tried again after she fell asleep, well that little stinker woke up at 1am screaming. By the time we walked in there and checked on her. She was sound asleep with the bandage hanging on the rail of her crib ;-)
Today was the BEST !!! We were invited out to a splash pad by some great friends !!! Bella had been there before, but she was just a baby. I actually thought it may take a few minutes to warm up. NOT !! She let go of my hand said bye-bye mama, and took off running. (There is a pool attached but it is heavily gated off). She didn't check in with me again for over two hours. She LOVED running in and out of the water, chasing the other kiddos, it was truly a sight to see. I've never seen her love water so much. This place is amazing all the water either comes out of fountains or the ground. The parents can just kick back and relax and the let the kiddos run around. Of course we wrapped up our fun time headed home with Bella's golden brown tan. The best part she took a three and half hour nap for mom !!! This followed by a great evening, you just can't beat that. I did ask that her fashionista aunts not judge the swimsuit though, this was the back-up to the back-up as the first two didn't fit my little chunky monkey ;-)
You gotta love a girl who has curves...and one who loves to show that belly off !!
We were a little bit sad to hear that daddy was heading out of town tonight for a few days to New Mexico. We miss and love you !!!

The expression on Bella's face in that first picture just sums it up- she is obviously having the time of her life! So CUTE! Glad you had a wonderful time-
Sorry to hear about the thumb. We don't do well with bandaids over here either. Shoot- neither boy does. Kyle keeps it on for about an hour and off it goes into the trash...
Hope Frankie has a safe trip home--

That splashpad looks fabulous. I can't wait to take J there - he LOVES the water and the pool.
These are the greatest pics ever! Of course I think we are all a little partial. She looks so precious in her swim suit. Keep all the pics coming.
Have a happy week.
Kiss Bella for us.
