Growing Up

Bella has filled out so much. She is such a joy to watch. Everyday holds some new discovery for her. At this exact moment she is in the other room talking to some sheep that are hanging from the pack and play. She squeels and gurgles and makes all sorts of fun noises constantly now. She is such a beautiful little girl ( not that I am biased or anything). She loves to sit up and stand up all the time. She is very active now. I am so amazed at how much she has changed in such a short time. I am anxious for visitors that we have coming soon to see how much she has changed. My friend Veronica and Bella's Great Grandma are both coming soon!

I'm an Aunt

I guess I hadn't really given it much thought. I knew that I was a mommy and Laura was going to be a mommy.... I forgot all about the fact that I get to be an Aunt! I get to have a very special role in Dawson's life. I get to buy all of loud annoying toys for Dawson that I would never buy Bella.

I had to work Friday night and didn't make it to the hopsital until about an hour and a half after Dawson was here. Thankfully I was escorted right in and got hold my special nephew.

Cereal for Me

Bella had her four month doctors appointment a little over a week ago. She is doing wonderfully. She weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces. Her pediatrician and I have decided to be cautious and keep her on the monitor until she is sixth months. But really for Bella six months is 7 and a half months because of her being premature. The monitor can be a hastle sometimes, but it is all worth it in the end.


It's finally time. Last night Bella had her first taste of cereal. She did quite well with it. She is definitely growing up quick. Seeing Dawson reminds me of just how far we have come in four short months.

I have a cousin!

Bella and Dawson...Best Friends Already!

Dawson Michael Rees was born Friday July 22nd at 10:56 p.m. Weighing in at 8 pounds 4 ounces he is exactly double what my petite princess Bella weighed. Bella decided to properly welcome Dawson into the world by chewing on his hand. Dawson wasn't very impressed.
