Bella's growing

Billy took Isabella to the doctor yesterday while I was working for a check-up. She doesn't have an ear infection anymore. So that's great news! They also measured her and weighed her. She's in the 30th percentile on both - 31 inches long and 24 lbs. She's growing consistently and even had a little grow spurt :) Because she's had a fever on and off for the past 10 days we decided not to give her any vaccines this time, but wait until we are back from Houston.

Now we are packing and getting everything ready for our trip on Monday! We are excited to see our parents, my brother and for Bella to spend time with her grandparents again after 6 long months!

And now I leave you with a cute episode that occurred this morning at our breakfast table. We were getting ready to pray for our meal and usually Billy and I hold hands and kiss after saying Amen. Well, Bella always wants to get a kiss from each of us too. But lately she's been wanting to hold hands with us too. So this morning she extends her hand so I can hold hers and when she goes to extend her other hand so Daddy can hold it, she realizes she's holding her toothbrush. Don't ask, she's been obsessed with brushing her teeth lately. Anyways, without thinking it twice, she puts the toothbrush in her mouth and bites it, and then extends her other hand so Daddy can hold it. It was so cute!! Both of us just started laughing and she started laughing too.
