What a Big Girl You Are

I am constantly amazed when I look at our tiny little girl and I see how far she has come. When she was born she loved to snuggle into your arms and spend hours sleeping on mine or Drew's chest. She lived to eat, sleep and be cuddled! Even then though, she showed us her drive and want to be big. We were amazed that she could lift her head and turn it from side to side at only a few days old!

Now, at two and a half months old, she is even bigger physically and developmentally. Her smiles have extended from Drew and I, to include her grandparents and other familiar faces in her life. Now, she loves pushing off her daddy with her feet, to stand up like a big girl, and only in her most tired moments will she let you cradle her in your arms, most other times she expects to be on her back or sitting up on your knee where she can check out the world around her. We expect big things from our little girl, and this major growth in such a short time proves that we will have our hands full chasing around this little girl in only a few short months.

Bella even tested out her Bumbo for the first time on Sunday after I noticed her trying to sit up in her swing. Can you tell she loves it? She looks so grown up in this picture!
