Eight Months Old and Counting. . .

Bella loves to show off her sandals. She thinks she is "big stuff."

Bella thinks,"Are shoes really supposed to hurt a girl's feet this bad? I'd grimace if I knew how!"

Bella also loves her naps, especially the times where she wakes up and plays around until she tires out again. She likes to spend that time practicing all of her lastest tricks. She has now mastered going from laying to sitting--but then she remembers she is supposed to be sleeping and doesn't want to get "caught" playing around.

"Quick! Back to sleep! Mommy's coming!"

Palin' Around

Here are a few shots of Bella just hanging out. In one shot, she is showing off her latest dramatic trick--the fake cough. Last week, she went to visit her good friend Caroline in Athens (Alabama, that is), and she taught Bella how to pull up to a standing position. Thanks a lot, Caroline!

Do I look like my Daddy or what?!?!?
