I know these are totally out of order, but I LOVE these pictures and must post. A friend of mine (who was actually a past bride of mine when I worked at the bridal store) is a wonderful photography and she has agreed to take some pictures of Bella at 3 months (which was more around 4 1/2 months) 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. She does an amazing job, and we are so thankful she has agreed to do pictures of our precious little girl. She is so patient with her and got everyone of Bella's expressions :)

Happy Halloween

2010-12-02T18:05:00.000-08:00

Bella had her first Halloween and she was the cutest duck in Knox/Loudon Co. We dressed up in her duck costume...visited Grandma and Grandpa then went to Mimi and Pappy's to pass out candy to the neighbors. This consisted of us taking her around to the neighbors to hand candy out. Not many trick or treaters in the neighborhood and since Bella was so young.....Josh and I did not need the candy, so this was the best idea for her first Halloween. I think she enjoyed herself and she did look oh so adorable :)
In her costume....walking around the neighborhood

Yay, I got toys in my pumpkin basket

A Quick Note

2010-12-02T10:24:00.000-08:00

Hello to all our family and friends who read our blog. I am not sure how many followers we have, but no matter the number I will continue posting updates/pictures of our family as much as I can. Just wanted to send a little not to say I have not forgotten about the blog, but my time has just gotten away from me and I am very behind on our updates. However, I promise updated pictures and stats will be coming up this weekend......please stay tuned.
In the meantime here is a picture of Bella at 6 months.

5 months

2010-10-17T19:11:00.000-07:00

October.....Bella is now 5 months old!! She is so amazing and we just can't remember what life was like without her. She is so active and smart.....she is sleeping 11-12 hours a night :), eating rice/oatmeal and jar baby food twice a day...(some of her favorites are sweet potatoes, pears, applesauce), she loves playing/standing up in her exersaucer, grabbing new things..including faces, enjoys hearing her own voice, sitting/standing up with assistance. She makes us smile each and every day and is truly a blessing from God.

The joy of our lives....Really look at that adorable face and BEAUTIFUL Blue eyes

Smiling while playing with her care bears....yes she has a ponytail with bow in....it is the best way to "control" her hair in the morning....it is so curly and sticks up everywhere :) LOVE IT!!

Playing with Laugh A Lot's feet

Bella had her first sleep over (at our house) with Cousin Megan. Megan and I made cupcakes and of course Bella just had to help some before going to bed!!

Sunday afternoon....we put Bella in a box with some extra fabric and she was enjoying herself...Even Harlee is sneaking in for a kiss. Harlee loves Bella and Bella loves Harlee

Just feeling new things.....

Hello Mommy :)

Later we put her in a box in the front yard...it was a BEAUTIFUL day outside!! Playing with the blanket

Then she discovered the grass......

Very cool stuff Mom!!

She also enjoys playing with her dresses

Aunt Leah told us about a GREAT consignment sale here in Knoxville that was open for a weekend. It was great, we were able to get Bella some great cheap outfits and these 2 Singing Care Bears. Bella loved them at the store and even more when she got them home and they started singing. They sing together and she just smiles and grabs them....too cute :)

Singing with them

Ohh, Mommy and Daddy thanks so much for my new toys!!

Checking them out......Laugh A Lot Bear and Sunshine Bear

Visit to Cincinnati- October 2010

2010-10-17T18:36:00.000-07:00

We traveled back to Cincinnati the first weekend in October for Aunt Susie's 40th Birthday Party. Of course on our visit, we had to meet up with Aunt Heather, Uncle Jason, Sidney and Emili. So, we went for lunch at our favorite place LaRosa's.

Here is Bella playing on the table

Aunt Heather, Cousins Sidney and Emili

Still playing on the table....Thanks for meeting us for lunch....we LOVED visitng with you all :)

We also went to Ashley's soccer game, which was Bella's first soccer game. The weather was cool and rainy, so Bella and I said we would just wait in the car and stay warm and dry....however Bella did not like that idea and wanted to be out of the car!! Mommy held her for a little while, but then Aunt Susie kept her warm and dry.

Soccer star Ashley and Bella.....Bella has no shortage of love from her cousins!!

Bella Stats

2010-09-11T15:12:00.000-07:00

Bella is 4 months old now and is growing up fast.....she amazes us each day with new things she has learned.
Some new things she is doing: Smiles when you talk to her, rolls over back to belly, holds onto toys, sits up with support, eating rice/oatmeal cereal, found her voice...jabbers all the time, enjoys jabbering to family/friends on the phone, "sings" to music, loves looking around, sleeping about 10-11 hours a night...YaY!!
Bella had her 4 month checkup and she is doing great developmentally (stated by the doctor), she weighs 12.3 lbs (20%...a little below) and height 24.3 in (49%). She got her 3 shots again and did not do as well this time, she screamed when the nurse gave her the shots and the next day she ran a fever and I had to pick her up from daycare early. She slept most the day/evening and spiked again around bedtime. However she is doing just fine today (2 days after her shots).

I can Roll Over Now!!

2010-09-11T14:53:00.000-07:00

Bella is learning many new things lately...she learned to roll herself over from back to belly. We put her to bed one evening (on her back) and when we went to check on her she had rolled herself onto her side. The next evening we put her on the floor and over she went. She was 15 weeks and 3 days old!! She is 4 months old now and is getting faster at rolling over...it is so cute to watch her kick her legs up and over she goes :) She is growing up so fast!

Rolling over

Hi Mom and Dad....this is fun stuff ;)

Getting faster at it and rolls over with her hands in her mouth (she is starting to teethe too)

Look at her form...so smart

Now that she can do it, she rolls over as soon as you put her on the floor

So talented....roll and "chew" on her hands

And on her belly

SUCH A DARLING LITTLE GIRL....LOVE HER!!

Our precious baby girl Isabella is 3 months old today!! WOW, how time has gone by....she is such a happy and content baby whose Mommy and Daddy could not imagine our lives without her. Some days I wonder what it used to like going out of the house without 2 bags, a car seat, bottles, bib, burp cloths, an extra outfit, a binkie, and a toy......I don't even remember what our lives were like before Bella. She is so Wonderful and we praise God every day for her!!

FIrst "Road Trip" to Cincinnati ~ July 2010

2010-08-08T19:13:00.000-07:00

Well at 12 weeks old, we took Bella on her first "road trip" to Aunt Susie and Uncle Calvin's for a Gribert Family Reunion. Bella did AWESOME in the car ride, she slept most the ride only waking up when it was time for her to eat (which we were already pulled over for us to eat) she played for about 40 minutes back in the car and back to sleep until we reached Cincinnati. She was awake once we arrived (she was so excited to see her cousins) but went to bed around 10:30ish and slept till morning...not too bad. She had a great time at the reunion, and a great evening meeting her other cousins Sidney and Emili along with Aunt Heather and Uncle Jason. Overall she had a FANTASTIC day!!

In the car, happy as can be :)

Arriving at the Rollysons, playing with her cousins before bed!!

Cousin Megan helped with Bella's bath (since we did not bring her tub..too much to travel with)

Kissable CHEEKS!!!

I have been behind on posting pictures of our precious Bella......so I am catching up tonight!! Now that we are all moved into our new home, which we love I am able to get back on and post pictures :) Isabella is growing up and we are more in love with her each and every day. We thank God each night and every morning we have to spend with her. She brings so much joy to our home. Some things she is doing now.... smiling when she sees/hears people, and making noises/"talking". It is so cute to sit and watch her smile and talk to her toys. Such a DOLL!! Here are some pictures of her at 11 weeks!!

Happy Baby!!

Peek a Boo Mommy!!

Going for a walk!!!

2010-07-04T17:08:00.000-07:00

Bella enjoys going for walks and we have found out she is able to "sit up" in the stroller now, instead of lying in her carseat on top of the stroller. She loves being able to look around and just take in all the sights!! So hard to believe she is 8 weeks old. We took a walk tonight and the sun was bright and I forgot to take her a hat, so we borrowed Daddy's :) She is such a doll baby...WE JUST LOVE HER!!

Well 6 weeks has passed and today was my first day back to work and it went well. I am working part time for the next 2 weeks then going back full time. I am trying to transition myself slowly so I don't over do it. I only cried a few minutes in the car after leaving her at my Mom's. Bella did great with Grandma and is looking forward to another day with her and her first day with Mimi and Pappy on Friday.

My labor started on Friday 5.7.10 at 8pm and 21 hours later Isabella finally arrived. It was a very long labor but the end result was so AMAZING!!!

The begnning Friday night....

Saturday after she finally arrived....it was a "rough" day, but once I saw her, it was totally worth every minute of it :)

Our sweet Baby Girl

Just Precious!!!

Maternity Pictures- March 2010

2010-04-17T17:23:00.001-07:00

Back in March, we went with a good friend of ours to do some Maternity Picutres. We had a beautiful day and the pictures turned out FANTASTIC! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do :)

Pregnanacy Update

2010-04-17T17:13:00.001-07:00

Went to the doctor about a week ago for my 34 week checkup and well little Isabella is still doing FANTASTIC weighing in around 5 lbs, my fluid levels are great and I am measuring a little smaller than I should. However, there is no concern since baby and fluid levels are fine. The doctor also told me that little Bella is VERY LOW, well when she told me....I said "What does that mean" (keep in mind I don't have a clue about any of this.... ha.) My doctor said well this means "she is at the gate ready to go!!" She also said that she does not believe I will make it to 40 weeks. She is thinking maybe about 2 weeks early...but only lilttle Bella will determine that!!
Well today as I type, I am over 35 weeks and little Bella is still VERY LOW, which explains my back aches....however everything else is going fine, so no complaining from me. I can not ask for a better pregnancy, I am still ENJOYING every minute of it, knowing that it will all end shortly. Josh and I just can't wait to meet our precious little girl in a few weeks!!! YAY :) :)

Family Baby Shower ~ March 27, 2010

2010-04-17T16:55:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago, my family blessed me with a wonderful shower. We traveled back home (N.Kentucky) for the shower and it was great!!! My mom and sister did a great job decorating, getting the food, and hosting such a grand baby shower. I could not have asked for anything better. It was so much fun getting to see my family and friends that we have not seen in awhile. I enjoyed catching up with everyone, and was truly blessed with all the wonderful gifts we received. Bella will LOVE each gift :)

Of course I LOVE IT and just smile when I look down and see it. It is so amazing to know that our little girl is in there. We had some maternity pictures done this past weekend, so as soon as we have some of them I will post. Just a hint....they are going to be FABULOUS!!

I am so far behind in blogging updates on the pregnancy and I am so sorry about that!!! So, I am currently 22 weeks (5 1/2 months) and having the best pregnancy....feeling great, no sickness and just growing! I am LOVING every minute of this pregnancy and just smile when I look in the mirror at my growing belly. At our last appointment (12/31/09) I had a complete ultrasound and little Bella is doing great and looks so cute. She weighed 13 ounces...almost a pound :) Josh and I just are in aww of our little girl and how fast the pregnancy is going. In about 4 months we will become parents and could not be any happier!!! We are very much looking forward to welcoming our little Bella into the world in May!! Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers during this pregnancy. We are truly blessed with amazing family and friends.
Look forward to seeing everyone soon :)

Me at 21 weeks.......
