Life: (Mommy fail on this week's photo, camera was on the wrong setting and someone wasn't happy obviously) This was the last week of mommy only have 2 days in the office and 3 days of juggling mom and working. On Tuesday I was feeling like I figured out a nap/work schedule. It only took 6 months and I had one day left of that schedule. This weekend we took a trip to Granny and Grandpa's camper at Ceder Run. It was just a 24 hour trip and the weather was less than cooperative even though it was projected to be very nice. We managed with an outing to Wellsboro.

Bella is sitting up on her own, a little wobbly, and the attempting to crawl included rocking on her hands and knees but not confident to get those arms going yet. We visited daycares this week and are so thankful we have managed so far without but that transition in August will be hard still.

Life: This was a short work week, we spent the holiday weekend (memorial day) with our friends Brent and Melissa (they got engaged) at a house in the Pocono's.  The rest if the week went quick doing laundry and catching up on house work. This weekend we spent time with Heather, Jon, Penelope, Brent and Melissa at a cookout at the Joseph house. It's so fun to hang out with our friends and Bella has her little friend Penelope.  How could I forget that during our morning walk I thought I would tackle upper campus, that hill was serious pushing the stroller. We haven't been back but we should it was an amazing workout.

Life: This week I celebrated my first birthday as a mom. It was a great day complete with a spa visit dinner out as a family and lots of snuggles before bed. Bella tries so hard to crawl but is stuck in reverse. Toys that make noise are her favorite. Oh and a very strange thing happen, the cat who typically hisses at everyone as decided to be buddies with Bella, lets her pet him, roll on his tail, pull his ears. Simply amazing to those who know this cat.

Life: The week started with a fabulous First Mother's Day complete with breakfast, hung Bella's swing in the yard, relaxed and worked on her baby book while she napped and enjoyed a cookout dinner with the extended family. This week Bella is very busy playing on the floor, reaches for toys and tries to creep but ends up going backwards or rotating on the belly. She is a rolling champ, hence the photo.

Weight: 11lbs 12.5oz. 

Height: 23"

Life: This week we added Mango to the mix of foods.  She is very vocal at the table and everyone around knows when she needs more food.  The weeks seem to only get busier but we are figuring out her nap schedule and working around it.  We checked out the new Kidsburg this week, it is amazing I think we will be spending TONS of time there. Bella still loves the swings so we got a swing for our yard. The week ended with family dinner with the McGarry's on Friday and we got to see Moira.  On Saturday we had a family photo shoot which was a lot of fun and Bella did fantastic considering it was during nap time. Oh and how could I forget, the week ended very HOT, time for those summer clothes.

Weight: 11lbs 9oz. 

Height: 23"

Life: Bella has added apples to the food selection. Still a good little eater. It is fun to go for dinner now and have food for her to eat at the same time. Friday we had girls morning and met Heather and Penelope for coffee, can't wait for the girls to be able to play together on the floor.  We finally had our first girls only day shopping with Granny. That was so much easier having an extra set of hands to maneuver all the stores. Still only babbling but starting with some "m" sounds. Don't think we will get to "mama" by Mother's Day but Momma is sounding closer than any Dadda sounds.  Daddy got the first laugh I should be able to get the first word.
