Miss Dress-up.

Bella's all about playing dress-up these days. Especially in her mama's clothes and shoes. She finds them and puts them on, then I find her checking out her reflection in the mirror. Sometimes she even talks to the 'baby' in the mirror.

Some dress-up shots from the last few days.

Daddy taught her that she can wear big person socks. Here she is all decked out in stripes (socks were her choice). This may just be a classic photo to pull out and show her future boyfriends. (Um, oh, right. She's never gonna have a boyfriend. Sorry, Ed, I forgot.)

Wearing one of mum's skirts as a wrap and ballet-flat shoes, I hear they're all the rage of the young people these days. (BTW, they do nothing for the calves!). All while carrying around a framed photo of Jacob and Jade.

Her new hat, a picture taken just before dinner today. (And yes, she has a diaper on, but ooooh look at those legs!) ;)

She loved it so much that it stayed on her head for the entire dinner!

And another hat....that of her fancy new bike helmet. It's about the same size as her head, and it's only a coincidence that it matches the outfit she's wearing.

Forget riding her new tricycle! Bella finds a wrench and tries to 'fix' anything she can...

..including fixing the flowers. Me thinks Grandpa Ron would be proud!!

Lately, Bella's been showing her compassionate side. The other day, she shared her snack with Frankie who was on the table searching for food. (Yeah, apparently we now starve our bird!)

Nurse Bella? Will she or won't she follow in her mommy's footsteps? (Let's hope not! The hours SUCK!!!) Ed had another quick surgery today (follow-up to his previous one), and while he was feeling a bit yucky post-op, he felt much better this time around. Here's a video of Bella nursing her papa back to health.
