One year older and one year wiser

Bella had a wonderful birthday. Of course, she has no other birthdays to compare them to, but she had a great time. She celebrated with lots of family and a couple of friends. She still has yet to take her first step, but she believes that we must celebrate one monumentous occasion at a time. To date, Bella can say about 15-20 words (not counting what she tries to repeat after a person) and she can do about 15 signs. She has learned so much in only one year's time.

"So you call this sugar, huh?"



Meet my friend Caroline. She teaches me how to do things, like eating cake and taking care of baby dolls!
