A Little Bit About Bella...

Can you believe it...we have a two year old!



Bella is now 30 1/2 lbs, and 36 inches tall. She is back up there in the 90th percentile! WNBA here we come!!

The "big potty" is actually something she likes to use. There was a time we thought this little girl would potty train herself...that's how excited she was to use it...even multiple times a day. However, now it's not quite as interesting anymore. I guess we'll wait a bit before we commit to potty training...Mom needs time to mentally prepare!

When she really wants to get her mamma's attention she just yells "Holly!" Although it sounds more like "Ha-wee." We have never known a two year old to do this...so we think it's pretty hilarious that we have to remind our daughter that my name is MOMMY!

She is too smart for her own good. Already at her young age she has figured that when Mom tells her "no" you just run to daddy, give him a big hug, and ask him...he usually gives in. We have a feeling this girl is gonna give us a run for our money as a teenager.


We've got a little artist on our hands...she takes after her daddy. Bella loves to draw...especially on walls, coffee tables, and of course...herself.

Bella's a talker! Always has been. When we were at the doctors office our pediatrician asked me if Bella was talking much...right then Bella said "drink of water please."

Our little girl likes to help out around the house. She helps set the table and folding towels is her favorite. We better enjoy this now because we know it's only a matter of time before she won't be as willing.


Oh how we adore this sweet little girl!

SHe is too cute! Cameron calls her Dad Babe, or Ben Jex depending on if he answers her, somtimes she resorts to Uncle Ben. I think its funny but he gets all sad about it..... That is funny that Bella puts her little Eeorr (Spelling)up to her nose, Cameron does the same thing with her favorite corner of her blanket??? Go figure!

PS Happy Brithday!!!

Bella is so beautiful. Jared will have to fight the boys off when she's a teenager.

That's cute that she calls you "Holly". The other day I realized that Hayden was calling Allen "Honey" (since that's what I call him). We thought that was pretty funny.

Oh, and don't worry about the potty training. You're not the only one. For about a week after he turned 2 I thought Hayden was going to be potty trained. So much for that, though. Now he just goes and hides when he has to poo. I'm just too lazy to put for much effort yet. lol

You have such a beautiful little girl. By the way, how do you know Lindsey Redfern? I see she commented up on here. I served my mission with her.
