Bella - 10 Months




Bella has had a very eventful past two months; full of new developments and illnesses that have kept me and Paul on our toes.
She has gone from her military style crawl to full crawling to pulling herself up on furniture; and now she is feeling adventurous hanging on and moving along the furniture.
She will wave to friendly faces or to a light fixture; and her favorite word right now is Jaida, the name of one of her cousins. She is also working on Jo Jo for Josi.


She just couldn't kick a cold which culminated in 3 days of high fever. This very sad looking picture is when she had a high fever. The following picture shows that, even though she was sick, she was trying to keep in good spirits. Last week she had to have a chest x-ray which showed very early signs of pneumonia. But we're a week into the antibiotics and she is doing so much better.
The infant chest x-ray contraption was a sight in of itself; but Bella was a trooper and handled it like a champ. I tried to be strong, too.











Last week she began to put her food in her mouth with her fingers; so cute to watch her pick up the food and help if make its way to the mouth. When it arrives, she sucks on it and her fingers for a few seconds before releasing the food.
