Baber.


A picture of Bella that Nayeli took as an add on to today's post.

Which Bottle is Mine?!

Here's a video of Bella showing how coordinated she is with her bottle. She also thinks the water bottle is hers! I'm still trying to get a clapping video. It seems she doesn't want to clap on camera because she's too interested in the camera...lol.

Father's Day Fiasco!

Hmm...Where do I start?? Haha.

Well, when we all woke up yesterday, I was excited to change my work hours and attempt to celebrate Dorian's first Daddy's Day with him. Boy was I in for a go-round. First, we noticed we only had a few hours before I was sopossed to go into work, so we headed out (after getting all 3 of us ready...this usually takes a while) to where I wanted to buy Dorian's gift. Originally, I had planned to get him a set of books that he has been wanting for a long time. After searching, we discovered they wern't at Barnes & Noble. 1st disappointment. Then, we couldn't decide where to eat, so we went home. By this time I had about 3 hours before I had to go into work, so before going out to check if we could eat at the Buffet, I called work, and asked if I could either come in late, or leave early...so as to spend more time with Dorian. Problem #2. My manager asked me if I could come in early, and then therefore leave early. She had told me 5pm. So we raced to the Buffet only to see rediculously long lines...(forget that!).

We ended up eating at KFC...because of our time crunch, and how overcrouded even Denny's was. Then I went into work early, and when I asked to leave at 5, they told me "No". I seriously wanted to cry. Lol. So I went on my lunch break, and drove to the mall to find a different present for Dorian. Once I had an idea, I learned that the mall was closing at 6pm, and I wouldn't be off of work until 7, so there was no way that I could pick up his present after they would have been done engraving it. Oh yes...it gets worse.

I stayed until the store's closing. By then, of course, everywhere else was too, with the exception of the grocery store, where I picked up two cards (that actually are pretty cute). I raced home in anger, and found that Bella wasn't even home when I got there. So we decided to go get more fast food and "skip Father's Day". During our next food run, I realized that somewhere in the middle of everything during the day, I had lost a $100 bill. After that, I broke. I was angry at work for making me well...work, I was angry at myself for being careless and rushing about, and I was angry at the mall, for being closed.

So today...we're going to re-do Father's Day. I am convinced that today is Father's Day...YES, A MONDAY. Why? Because I have time today, Bella isn't going anywhere, and we can present the cards to her Daddy formally and without interruption.

So see photos in the future. Lol.

Sleepy-by.


"Loving them babbles"

So today I had a day off of work. I was glad for it, too. Anyway, I took a picture of Bella falling asleep in her (what has become) normal attitude: bottle in hand. Some need a nightlight, some need stuffed animals, some need to be rocked...no. Bella only needs her "ba-ble".

In recent news, Bella has learned to clap her hands, although not on command. She mostly does it when she's excited. Today she had watermelon, and let me tell you...the hand clapping was almost as frequent as the open mouth watermelon wanting.
