La Vida es Buena


Dave and I went floating down the Willamette River with his Uncle Bobby and my brother Mark and his three daughters. Two of the girls freaked out over the "rapids" - so called and looked bored or upset half the time. They wouldn't admit at the time, but we all had a GREAT time!

Bella woke up one morning with the craziest hair on the planet, I just had to take a picture, isn't she SO DARN CUTE?!!

We went to the park to see the duckies and the gees (there was lots of poop), but it was fun, I think Bella thought they were all Bonos, lol.

SUCH a cutie!!
Bella has cut her fourth tooth now. She has also now had her first fever and diaper rash. Needless to say those were sleepless nights of worry for her mommy and daddy! Bella is a crawling crazy baby and climbs on just about everything. She can climb the stairs and we are working on teaching her to go down them on her tummy. She is in the 0 % of weight for her age so our Dr. told us to try to fatten her up (she was in the 8%). Bella recognizes Bono's name and will go after him when I tell her to, it is pretty funny. She is scared of her bathtub for whatever reason however we tried our big bath last night and bathing went fine, so I don't know what that is about. Bella LOVES music and being chased. She loves it best when daddy plays with her or her cousins hang out with her.
So we also have this adorable video of Bella saying uh-oh. We tried posting it however apparently our digital video camera isn't the correct format for Blogger or even You Tube, so BLAH! You will all just have to hear or see her do it in person! :)
As for what else we have been up to . . . Dave has gone to a couple of Duck games, we've been to weddings, played with Bella, had lots of people come visit us, gone on lots of walks, I am sure there has been more, I just can't think of them all. Anyway as some good friends of mine say, la vida es buena (english translation, life is good)!

Dang, I didn't realize she was such a tiny little thing! SO CUTE! My kids don't have that problem, they are off the charts in their hugeness.

I can't believe she's 0% for her age in weight! She looks perfect. :) Sorry to hear about her first fever. Kadin got his first stuffy nose and cough yesterday during the night. So sad to hear that congestion! But he's getting better. You guys are awesome, and that's why life is good for you. Keep it up!
