Yum Yum!

I had mentioned before that Bella wasn't really taking to solid foods too well. We tried cereal first, then we tried a slew of other things, both veggies and fruits and she was not interested. Until one day. Literally all the sudden she just decided she liked to eat. The first thing she really ate was pears. Up until then she would take one or two bites and then just refuse to open her mouth at all. This day she would open her mouth wanting more and more. I couldn't believe it! Since then she has eaten just about everything I have given her. She doesn't seem to love peas or cereal still, but she eats everything else! Here is a pic of her after lunch today with peas (yes I keep trying) on her face. Sorry it is a little dark...

Kiley's First Birthday

Recently we went to my friend Lacey's daughter Kiley's first birthday. She had a Minnie Mouse themed party so Lacey made all the kids Mouse Ears with bows on them that would match what they were wearing, which was such a cute idea.

Here is Kiley with her very first birthday cake. She wasn't really sure what to do with it though...


The funny part came when we tried to get all the babies on the couch for a picture, but Bella and another little girl were only interested in checking each other out. So cute...



What I don't have a picture of is Bella trying to lick that little girl as well as trying to gouge her eyes out.

Here is a better pic of Bella so you can see her cute ears...


It was a great party and it is getting me thinking about what we are going to do for Isabella Jane's first birthday!

Get Up for Cheap!

So I am a couponer. Since I quit my job to take care of our little munchkin I have been trying to save money any way I can and sometimes I find some really good deals. I just wanted to share a great deal I found yesterday. If you like Disney movies (or technically Pixar) you will love Up. If you have already seen it you know how great it is. Well, right now Walmart has the Blu-Ray DVD 4 pack unit on sale from $24.96 to $19.96. If you go get this coupon - http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/up/couponoffer/ - you can get it for $9.96!! It comes with the Blu-Ray DVD AND the regular DVD, as well as bonus features and the digital file to download on your computer. Pretty good deal if you ask me! Not sure how long this will last, but I just thought I would send it out.

Happy Halloween

This year for Bella's first Halloween we dressed her up as a mermaid. I know what you are thinking. It's Kelli, must be Ariel from the Little Mermaid...but no! I am trying to lay low on the Disney until she is older. I don't want to over Disney her, I mean what if she got sick of it and decided she didn't like Disney? That would be bad. So anyway, she was an adorable little mermaid. My friend Lacey has several friends with babies so we all got together to take cute pictures and have some delicious food!

Here is Jason with our little amphibian...


I think this one is funny because it looks like Bella is concerned about the crying baby...

This gave me chills...
