Belle meets Clifford!

We decided to trek downtown to the PBS Kids Festival. It was rainy and miserable, but we stayed long enough for Belle to meet Clifford. She was excited to see him from a distance, but didn't want to get too close.

Can you tell she wasn't feeling good?

Our Little Monkey!

Belle has started climbing up into the window sil at work. She's been pretty good about getting up and down, but now she has started trying to stand up and that makes me too nervous.

Belle Looooves Jesse!

Here are some cute pics of Belle and Jesse. She loves Jesse and Jesse is such a sport to take all the abuse Belle dishes out.

Happy Birthday Belle!

I meant to do this earlier, but Im just now getting around to it.

This is a video montage of photos of Belle during her first year. Warning - This is kinda long and it cut off the last few seconds.

Was she marking her territory or what?

Yesterday both Nic and I got peed on.

I was at Target with her before we went to Gymboree, and I had her on my hip. I must of moved her diaper or something cause I got peed on as we were walking to the car. Luckily I was familiar with this sudden warm feelling and was able to immediately hold her away from me. Thus limiting the pee to a minimum. Yes, I went to gymboree with pee on my shirt.

Then Nic was getting her ready for her bath and took her diaper off unknowingly mid-pee. I again caught her and he was able to throw her into the tub before he got too wet.

Birthday Party!

Today we had Belle's party. It was supposed to rain, but stayed relatively cool instead. Belle wasn't too impressed with her cake. In fact she gaged at the first taste of frosting.

She did enjoy all her new presents. I think her favorite may have been a Winnie the Pooh riding toy that Chris and Cheyanne got her. She was a bit overwhelmed with all the new stuff too.

Here are a few pics from today.

Belle looking pretty before everyone arrived.
