The Squat.

I love this squat that babies learn to do! Belle does it soooo well!!

Chase...You're it!

Belle loves to play chase with Mommy and Daddy! She gets so excited, laughs, and runs! It wears us out but she could play all night long!!!!

Daddy's Girl!

Yes she loves her pumpkin, one because she can easily stand with it, two because it makes a cool noise when she hits it,

three she can touch the wall (and she just recently learned she can walk with assistance from the wall), and four there's a small piece of the stem that she likes to try to put in her mouth but it always tickles her face before she gets to (and by try I mean she bends/squats down and opens her mouth).
So, back to the title of the post...I always thought Belle would be a Daddy's girl; I just never thought it would be so soon. Check it out! 1. she hears the key unlocking the door and sees that it's daddy.
2. the pumpkin is no longer interesting. 3. this one doesn't need an explanation!

Crawling

Belle started crawling last Thursday (Oct. 30). It's still not real pretty but it's definitely progressing. I'm sure in another week she'll be a pro!

Taking off

Sorry about the quality, it's probably going to be a little dark....Belle just started "really" using her push walker about a week ago. She's taking off now!

Pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch! Belle was like whoa!, do I get to touch all these? Of course she insisted on walking.... I was trying to show Belle's progression but the pics are in reverse order!:(

Gymboree

So about a week ago I took Belle to a class at Gymboree (it was a free preview class). She wouldn't sit still! It was a music class and every 5 or 10 minutes they switched activities. Her favorite by far was the activity with the balls...probably because she could chase them, I'm not sure though. We went with two of my friends who have a kid each, boy and girl, one is a day older than Belle (they were in the nursery together) and the other about a week younger. The girl just loved it, she actually sat still and the boy was mostly in a daze but not my Belle, she was all over the place! Already the life of the party...
