Bella goes trick or treating

We dressed up Bella in a kangaroo costumre for Halloween. She didn't like it at first, but eventually had a lot of fun with it - especially when we went outside to pass out candy. She enjoyed seeing the other kids in their costumes and watched them go to the neighbors to get candy. She even wandered over to our neighbors, Tom and Barb, and got some candy for herself.

Bella does some housework

Here's Bella helping Mommy with some vacuuming.

15 months old

It's hard to believe, but Bella had her 15 month check up on Friday. She weighs 20 lbs, 10 oz and is 30.5 in tall. That puts her in the 20th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. She's so skinny. It must be because of all the exercise she gets running around the house all day.

Here are some recent pictures of her. You can see that her hair is starting to show some signs of becoming curly.

Bella's toy basket

Bella really likes her new toy basket. Unfortunately, she likes it as a toy not as a place to store her toys.

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.
