Catch up....

Wow....it's been a while since we have had a real update. It has been so busy here. Let's see. Things are going well. We went to NJ for Passover...which was nice for Bella and Morgan to have a nice Passover Sedar with Omi and Pop Pop. We stayed in MD for Easter. Boy did the girls get lots of stuff from the Easter Bunny!!!

BELLA
Since my last mini update, Bella is crawling all over the house. The gates are now up :) She started with a typical crawl and now does this crawl with her left knee down and her right foot propelling her. Quite cute :) She also pulled herself up to a standing position last week...so at 8 1/2 months. She still has 2 teeth. It does not look like she is cutting more right now. She still says "dada" and babbles other things but has yet to say "mama." I am still waiting for that one. Morgan taught her to make a sound using her hand on her mouth. Quite funny. She imitates alot and laughs alot. She is a very happy baby.

She prefers real food over her baby food. Her favs include pancakes and cheese. She loves to snack on Gerber puffs, too. About 1 1/2 months ago, she weighed 16 pounds. She is getting so big. Everywhere we go, people stop and comment about how beautiful she is and how big her eyes are. We are told, often, that she is a gerber baby :)

MORGAN
Morgan continues to make us proud. She is such a great big sister. She loves her Bella so much! Morgan is doing well in school and is preparing for Middle School Next year. She earned her purple belt (pics in another post) in karate. She has 2 more swim meets for the school year and then will be done with winter swimming. She will have a short break in swimming before summer swimming starts again.

Morgan has recently discovered that reading is fun. I have been waiting for this moment. She actually likes to read...not all of the time but reads every night before going to bed and is reading chapter books! WOOHOO Morgan!!!

Well.....here are some pics to enjoy....Bella just woke up from her nap. Until Next time
