One Month Later....

I can't believe Bella is already a month old. Time seems to be flying by. Life is definately busier with two kids.
I have made sure to take a picture of Bella each Sunday. This photo is also our first family photo taken on Bella's first Sunday when she was just 1 day old.





In this photo Bella is one week old and she is wearing a sweater because she has a crazy mom who thinks babies are eternally cold. Much to my surprise sometimes Bella has little beads of sweat on her forehead.
Curt is such a ham, but I have to say that I totally enjoy most of his silliness. He definitely keeps me entertained and it seems like whenever he sees that he's made me smile or laugh, he keeps going. Thank heaven for two year olds. He also likes to help me. He'll bring me Bella's binkie, but sometimes in his mouth. One time he sucked on a binkie until we got to the swings and then he finally gave it up- Luckily we have 3, so Bella had a binkie too.


Here's Bella at 2 weeks old. She grew so much that week. This dress is newborn size and now it barely covers her backside.




This is Bella's 4 week picture. The 3 week old pictures are the ones my friend Heidi took of Bella with Miguel. The hat is still a little too big, but it looked really cute on her. She has recently been making eye contact. It's cute when Curt will talk and then Isabella will look around until she finds him.
She holds her head up really well and she has been doing it for a few weeks now. She seems to be growing up faster than Curt did.

This is Bella's 5 week old picture. It is the same dress that she wore in the 1 week photo, but it fits a little better now.
Isabella's eyes are still dark and Miguel and I keep going back and forth on what color they will be. They are dark blue on the edge but inside they look like they will be brown.
She is so funny because she doesn't like to go to sleep. When I finally get her to sleep she usually wakes up when I try to lay her in her bed, but if I hold her or sleep next to her, she sleeps for a long time. I guess she knows that princesses deserve special treatment.
Bella's first month has been pretty eventful. We've been to the pool, the zoo, a movie, a puppet show at the library and to Wheeler Farm several times. I don't think we took Curt out in public when he was just one month old.

My awesome friend, old roommate Heidi Barrow took these adorable pictures of Bella when she was 3 weeks old. I wanted pictures of her in her dad's arm to show how small she is. Heidi is also going to take pictures of Bella when she is about 2 months old like she did for Curt. They are still my favorite pictures of him. I will be sure to put them up. Heidi is a professional, and what I really love is that she gives me the images on a disk so I can make as many prints as I want, so if any of you are interested, let me know and I will get you her phone number.
