Baby Doll fun!

Christa gave Belle a stroller for her baby dolls...of course Belle loves it. This past week has been loads of fun. Belle really started playing with her dolls. She loves to kiss and hug them; she even walks around with them laying on her shoulder as she pats their backs!

Figuring it out, outside.

Belle gets so excited when she finds something on the ground. One of her favorite things are the little pine cones all around us. This day she was quite interested in the pine needles as well.

She's so silly! She loves this chair. I think one of her favorite things is to move this chair around. Yes, she picks it up and walks with it!

St. Patrick's Day

Belle playing with her St. Patrick's Day gifts:




Belle looking at the"fun" book:

Reading about St. Patrick

Belle received two books from Mimi for St. Patrick's day. One was a shiny and fun leprecaun book the other a more serious about St. Patrick book. Of course Belle liked the more serious book! Here she is reading the book, (I mean she was really reading!):<





Playing with the flowers....

Belle enjoyed these flowers. She especially liked to spin them!

Playing with the girls!!

Belle just loves it outside; we are sooo excited for the warm weather. Check out Belle playing with Brandy and Christa. She wanted to ride Christa's bike!
She enjoyed Christa's ribbon.
This was one of the last pictures we took of the three of them laying there...that's all Belle could handle, just a few! She doesn't like to sit still for very long!
But she did really like playing with this ball!!!
Another one of Belle's funny faces.
Wanting to ride the bike, she was like "is it okay mom?" So, of course I put her on the seat and pushed her around...she loved it!

Sweet Note #1.

I don't have any pictures but it was so neat (and sweet) to see that I thought I would share it. The other day Belle was playing on the patio while I was in the kitchen fixing lunch. It's not unusual for Belle to be quiet (especially when she's found a book) but she was unusually still. So I peeked around the corner...she was sitting in her chair (which she has just learned how to sit in, she climbed on it the first day she got it but she just figured out how to sit in it) waving at her shadow. I could tell she was just figuring it out. She waved, paused, waved again, then started moving side to side all while staring at her shadow!

Big helper.

Belle likes to sweep. Well she thinks that's what she is doing. We keep the broom (what's left of it after Earl snapped it in half while clearing of my car which was covered in snow at the time) in the laundry room and every time the door is open she goes for the broom. She always takes it to the linoleum and tries to sweep. This time I was outside sweeping off the patio and she insisted on helping!



Fun with a Tennis Ball.





Just playing with a tennis ball.

Up the slide.





So, Belle tries to walk up the slide already....
