hats and headbands

I made Bella a cute headband yesterday and put it on her to go to walmart, she hated it. She kept ripping it off and pulling the flower off, which I dont know how she accomplished because I sewed it on there very secure. I guess she's just at that age were she doesn't want anything on her head.

She is eating everything we eat! I haven't given her pureed foods in a couple days. She's eating baked beans in the picture from when we bbq'd and last night she had chicken fingers, tator tots and corn. She also doesn't take a bottle anymore she drinks everything from her sippy.. and I thought weaning would be hard!

She's in the process of pulling that hat off in this picture... she won't leave them on for very long! I made this one too. Its my favorite :) I'm still learning things though. She better get used to it because she's gonna be my hat model lol

I'm really proud of her, she's getting so big and smart! I almost can't believe that she's only 9 months. She's doing things so early, I give her another month or so before she starts walking.

it has been awhile

Isn't she beautiful? I made the hat. I picked up knitting and crocheting, because you know I have so much time during the day to do such things. It's relaxing. I've been slightly stressed recently, I can't seem to figure out how things work in the world. Why certain things happen. It's all confusing. I'm sure I'm going to confuse everyone that reads this too lol. Basically nothing is going right for us, we just can't seem to get a break.

On a brighter note my little baby isn't so little anymore! She is 9 months old and weighs 19.11. The nurse measured her at 29 inches but I don't agree with that. I measured her at 30 ;). Either way, she's picked up her mammas tall genes which is good! She also inhereted her mammas allergies... which is not so good. But a bit of benadryl seemed to do the trick. We're back to co-sleeping because Bella doesn't want to sleep in her crib for some reason. She has become very clingy which makes things pretty difficult during the day. She freaks out if I leave her alone for 5 seconds and she will follow me everywere! She has basically been attached to my hip for the past 2 weeks.

I love my baby! She was kind enough to take pictures with her lovely mamma :)! Now we're sitting here watching VH1 music videos and Bella's dancing like crazy. I think she might be a dancer when she gets older, shes got rhythm. Well I don't have much to blog about these days. Its been pretty boring around our house. I've been a little busy looking for a house to buy because I'm tired of renting! We found one amazing, gorgeous, perfect house but when I went and talked to the realtor she informed me that it was already under contract. I wanted to cry. I got my hopes up with that house! It was perfect for us in every way. Oh well. Back to searching I guess. We did find one that is a fixer-upper which is kind of what we both want but we're not sure how much work it needs exactly so it just depends.

And yes, I have a sunburn in those pictures but you cant really tell! I was in serious pain stretching my arm out like that to take them haha my shoulders have blisters and my face is swollen. I even used sunscreen!
