End of Summer

As summer comes to a close, everyone in my house is sad. Daddy has already gone back to work (and took a new job) Mommy is getting ready to go back, I know this because we have been talking about going back to school an awful lot! I have had such a great summer and am constantly growing and learning. Mommy says I am so independant, I don't really like listening lately (especially when I don't get my own way!)

Mommy has been working with me on my letters, my favorites are m and l and I always recognize them in words. I am having a harder time figuring out my numbers, so I guess I am more like mommy in the math department. I look forward to going back to school to see my friends. I just went to the zoo with my friend Sophie, I sure do miss her over the summer. It was like we were never seperated at the zoo, we caught up on old times!

Well...look for more adventures to come over the year. Hope everyone enjoyed their summer as much as I have!

A little more vacation

What a blessing it is to have both mommy and daddy off for the month of July. I am so lucky that I have been able to go to the beach quite a bit, it was so fun with nana and bumpa. My nana built the most amazing sandcastles, bumpa said I must be special because he doesn't ever remember that happening in lots of years! I also went to the Barnstable fair with mom, dad, nana, and bumpa...I loved the rides I rode the carousel twice with my nana...the animals were great too! Then it was off to Nantucket to visit with my friends Christopher and Thomas. (I love Thomas!) We had so much fun...Mommy told me she was excited to visit her best friend, but it was the best for me because I loved being with my new friends. We played and turtled...just look at the pictures...so much fun. Then I went to Gloucester and again got to play on the beach. I love the sun and sand, can you tell from my tan. I only hope everyone enjoys their summer like I do.

Bella's summer

We certainly have had a busy summer, full of fun and growing up. We no longer use our binky at nightime and have started to wear big girl underwear! (I can't wait until it is one pair a day!)Bella is talking up a storm and has become quite savvy in her vocabulary, and quite a bit sarcastic, wonder where that comes from?

We traveled to Storyland where Bella absolutely fell in love with Cinderella. In fact now when we drive through Boston, she thinks lots of the big buildings are Cinderella's castle! She loved going on the super fast rollercoasters and her all time favorite ride everywhere is the carousel.

We have done quite a few beach trips. Where Bella loves the water, sand and sun. Which is a good thing, because her parents quite enjoy being beach bums with her. She amazes us how she constantly finds friends at the beach. Most recently she found a few 10 year olds who just adored her and played with her all afternoon. She is quite lovable if I do say so myself.

We have really enjoyed our summer this far and look forward to continuing updating you about Bella's journeys!
