Her first Boo Boo

Well, it's not her first one but it certainly is the hardest she's hit herself... We went to eat at a friend's house and she was walking, but then tried to run/sprint and BANG! She hit the leg of the couch with her forehead... poor thing... she cried and cried and cried and wanted me or Billy to hold her the rest of the time... We put ice and, thankfully, it didn't swelled too much.

On some better news, she's been sleeping through the night for the last 5 days!! Woo Hoo!!!
:) Please keep praying that she'll continue like this for a long long time! Mommy and Daddy need their rest! :)

And we are getting ready for campmeeting so I don't know how much I'll be able to post. But here's a picture of Bella from a day or two ago. Is she cute or what?!!

She's 13 months!!

WOW! Last month flew by us! Bella's already 13 months and she's just absolutely positively loving walking! LOL We went to the outlets mall in Tulare and she wanted to walk around every store we went in. I think now she hates the stroller! She discovered she has legs and "why not use them? Right?!" :) By the end of the day, she was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as we started driving back home. It was pretty amazing!

Our house is also getting more organized. Slowly. We still have to put frames, curtains and decorations up, but it's mostly organized. I'll post pictures as soon as it's presentable! :)

Happy 4th of July!!

In the afternoon we went to some church member's home to eat and celebrate their boy's birthday. Good Filipino's food!! :) And tonight our neighbors invited us to join them light their $10 worth of fireworks! LOL So we went outside to see them and then went down the street to see some more fireworks by other people in the neighborhood. Pretty exciting! LOL And Bella was sleeping inside the house the whole time!!

I've also been working on my CJ (circle journal) layouts for Sandy and I'll post them tomorrow.

More vacation pictures

I'll try to post a few pictures every day so you all can enjoy Bella :) These are from a trip to 2 Aquariums - one in Houston and the other one in Galveston.

We are back!!

And into our new house! Last Sunday, about 20 members from our church came and helped us move to our new house - 2 houses down! Unfortunately our landlord had to foreclose on his house. But God blessed us with a beautiful house owned by our previous landlord's sister. So, I've been organizing as much as possible! Of course my scrap room is almost done! :) LOL Bella has a bigger room and even has her own bathroom AND a walk-in closet! Little brat! We already painted it the same as her old room but havent put the border yet. We'll have to do that sometime this week.

Bella is walking every where and she loves when we pretend to chase her. She laughs to hard!!! And last friday she started clapping. So now she walks and claps at the same time. She looks like the energizer bunny walking everywhere and clapping! LOL

Pictures coming...
