Go Irish. Beat the Wolfpack.

Bella is ready for college football season to start. She has decided to be a Notre Dame fan and her Daddy couldn't be prouder of her decision. Bella slept for most of the first half, but we're looking forward to the second half and more domination from the Irish.

This was her reaction after waking up from her nap and finding out that she'd miss the first half.

Are you ready for some football?

Bella is getting ready for football season. We weren't sure we'd ever put this outfit on her since, for a while, it looked like Brett Favre was going to play for the hated Minnesota Vikings. But he decided to retire instead, so Bella is able to wear his jersey.

The Butterfly Festival

We went to the Cox Arboretum today for the Butterfly Festival, but we only saw one butterfly. Bella had lots of fun running around the flowers and trees. We'll have to go back again some day.

Fun with Aunt Kimmie

Aunt Kimmie comes over twice a week to babysit Bella while Tracy goes to the gym. She and Bella have a lot of fun together.

Horsey Rides

She also loves horsey rides on Daddy's shoulders.

Chase Scene

Bella loves being chased all around the house

Happy (belated) Independence Day

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Bella was very patriotic but didn't stay up late enough for fireworks. Luckily, they didn't wake her up either. BTW, her shirt says "I love the USA".

Bella is now sprouting a 7th tooth and is walking all over the house. She's also pointing at just about everything, as you can see by this picture of her and Grandpa.
