Oh how time flys!

The other night we were having dinner and now that Bella is a big girl now she sits at the table with us. Well she was telling this story and it was the cutest thing I have ever heard but she was really into it. She would stop and cover her face and starting laughing at her story and then she would say Bella that's funny. Jesse and I were catching about every other word. I love when she starts talking and you interrupt her she says much louder than you saying "no no no wait, let me finish." She is too cute. All these stages that she is going through are great she has her own little personality and let me tell she is full of life. I love love love her. When I drop her off at my moms house in the morning and I say bye baby mommy's going to work and start walking out she screams "wait mommy, kiss then I kiss her then she says wait mommy hug! That is the best feeling in the whole wide world. My whole life revolves around that little girl. It seems just like yesterday she was my little baby girl barley fitting in my arms and now she's this little prisspot walking around the house with her heels and a purse, dancing and talking. Time flys by so quickly.

POTTY TRAINING





So I am really not sure what I am doing wrong but I CANNOT get Izabella to potty anymore. She has done it some but now she'd rather just do it in her diaper. I mean she can sit on that pot for 15mins and then the second she is up and has her diaper on she will pee right in her diaper. I tried taking her in the bathroom when Mommy goes but that doesn't work. We have read books, I have even got stickers and a chart that even if she sits on the potty she would get a sticker but that doesn't help at all. She even has the "big girl panties"....NOPE DOESN'T WORK. If anyone has ANY advice please please share. I know I don't want to force her to do this but I don't want my little girl to be 6 and pottying on herself.

HELP ME PLEASE!

Our Beach Trip

This past weekend we went to Emerald Isle and stayed with Jesse's parents. It was a lot of fun. Izabella is getting her last tooth in and she was a little fussy and of course had the bad diapers so I was thinking the worse of what this trip was going to be. As far as the potty training well let me just say it's hard to do it on a mini vacation. she was not having it at all. She would however tell me after she did her business that she was done rather than saying mommy I have to go. She loved being on the beach but did not like the fact that she had sand everywhere. She was quite funny when she did have to pee and we took the little swimmer off......she just squatted in front of everybody and peed! My daughter has NO SHAME!

Jesse's cousins came and spent the day with us on the beach as well. Later that night his other cousin Marc came that Jesse hadn't seen in a really Long time which Jesse was really happy about. We went to eat at this local Mexican restaurant and wait over a hour. I was not happy about that at all neither was my impatient Bella. I am glad that we did wait though because the food was great. While we were eating two tables down this little boy began choking on a chip he was eating. That was scary I was in tears just seeing his face! People were running to help but a lady from another table came and got it out! It remind me of the time Jourdan was choking on a chip at Bellas first bday party! That was so scary and the reason I really don't let my baby have chips.

We had a great time but now it's time to get back in the routine that we are used to. I hope my mom doesn't have that hard of a time with Bella and can help her get back to normal!!!!

Some of my favorite photos taken of Bella!!!

Izabella's first year I was constantly taking her to get her pictures made. She loved it. I took her to SAY CHEESE in greenville, our photographer was amazing her name is Lyndsay. She had a way with Izabella that was just great. I haven't been doing a great job this past year at having her pictures taken. It just seemed better to do it with our own camera than have them taken. I know that may sound bad but Jesse was starting to tell me we LIVED at the studio. When she was born I wanted to have every month taken so we could see how much she has changed throughout her first year. Looking back at the pictures now I am glad I did it but I really need to get better now. I did take her to have her birthday pictures taken and that was quite an experiance. We went somewhere different and Izabella is a talker now so......she let the lady know when she didn't want to lay a certain way or put her hands a certain way. The photographer tried to put a pink BOA on her, Izabella said "ewwww yuck, no way." LOL Then after the 6th pose she said I AM DONE! It was so funny but thats my daughter!!! I love her so much

Two years old!

Well Izabella turned two on June 12th! She is such a sweet little girl. She is a very loving baby girl. She doesn't like to see anybody cry or get upset. There is no better feeling than getting off of work after a long day and walking through my door and here she comes running to me and saying mommy I missed you and I love you. I love her so much. She is a true blessing.
