The first hair cut!

And off it went.......to the dismay of dad!

But the 'chavvy' rats tale had to go (according to mum!)

Bella didn't really understand what was going on!

Feet

She's really found her feet which makes changing her tights a bit tricky!

What's on the menu?

This is the exciting moment (!) when Bella took her first mouthful of food that wasn't milk! Em and I were both nervous about how she would take to it (seeing as she HATES the bottle and won't go near it)....but she loved the stewed pears and wanted more and more.........next on the menu is root vegetables! Fingers crossed she continues to eat well. The fruit certainly loosened her up though....two nappies needed changing in the hour following this picture!

Bouncing around

Meanwhile, Roy can't be bothered with any of it.

And she gave daddy his first Valentines card for a very long time!!!

Bella loves the bouncer , although maybe a little too much. She has managed to bounce herself smack into the door frame a few times!

Lounging around

Bella has just begun to sit in a high chair.....doesn't eat her dinner from it, but its perfect for listening in to adult conversations.

Bella and Betty love keeping an eye on the garden.

Bella refuses to do the washing up!

Bella is enjoying swimming!

Bella has a fellow swimming buddy called Oscar

Here you can see her holding her breath.....she's just about to emmerge from an underwater adventure.

Here, she doesn't wasn't to get out....

....and here she does!!
