Ryan- I’m going to give you an up front warning………you’re not going to be happy about this one :)
So Monday was a rough one. After spending almost a full week with her mommy & daddy, Bella wasn’t thrilled when she saw me coming to get her up on Monday morning. I heard her saying “No, no no no!” which is now a favorite for sassy pants and I went up to get her. I think she was talking in her sleep because she was still laying down and had her eyes closed when I came in. I tried to sneak out, but she heard me. Funny side story—- the sleep talking started in Kirksville this past week. After spending a few days with her cousins and going to an extremely funny birthday party for Miss Ellie, the phrases “no” and “mine” were being repeated like a broken record. Sara & Ryan said she started saying both “no” & “mine” in the middle of the night and she was still sleeping. Pretty funny :) So back to Monday’s with Bella. She woke up, looked at me, started crying and saying “mama, mama, mama”………um hold on, I will go call her and make her come home from school because you are about to make me cry. When I took her downstairs for breakfast and Mickey Mouse Club house, I sat her on the couch and she looked around, got the saddest look on her face (it kills me every time), started crying and saying “daddy, daddy, daddy”. DEAR LORD KID!!!! So needless to say there were lots of hugs, kisses and cuddling all morning to calm her down. She was also very clingy and while I was trying to answer emails as she watched cartoons (our normal routine), she refused to sit anywhere other than my lap and cried if I tried to go do something. Seriously, she made me so sad on Monday morning. Eventually I got her preoccupied with blocks for a good 15 minutes
Then her sassy self started to come back and she started acting normal again :)
We went up to get dressed and when we do this she likes to take EVERYTHING out of her drawers. This is when she found her socks and decided she was going to put them on over her footed pajamas. Obviously it wasn’t happening and she started to get pissy. She how blurry her legs are??? it’s because she was kicking them in frustration
Then it was time to actually get the pajamas off. Have you ever watched a toddler try and get off footed pajamas?? I highly recommend it, funny stuff. She just kept walking in circles hoping the feet part of the pajamas would just come off.
so curious
Then she decided she needed to blow her nose…on some hand towels
you can’t tell me those tights don’t make you laugh out loud?? fun fact: I cringe when people use” lol”….drives me crazy for some reason!! p.s.- it won’t be funny if you type lol in the comments section :)
Then bella decided to try and clean the toilet (this is where Ryan will say, “Oh man! Why did you let her do that Lissy?”
I said, “your daddy is going to be mad!” and in typical Bella fashion…she did this
She seriously took every towel within her chubby little arms reach and stacked them all on the toilet
The she decided to take a nap
then she started laying these wash clothes across her tummy and started acting all wierd and silly…I honestly have no idea what she was doing but she thought it was pretty funny and kept busting out laughing.
this one just makes me laugh
then she threw all the towels on the floor and laughed when I asked her what her mom & dad would think of her little stunt
Getting this girl dressed can take a long time. I don’t rush it because we don’t have anywhere to be and she can be pretty fun if I just let her go at her own pace. Once we got dressed she decided to play with the bunny ears and be silly. She reminds me of her mom so much in this picture
We then headed to the mall so I could try and get some Christmas shopping done (totally unsuccessful) and let Bella play in the play area. She was pretty shy at first
we at lunch and then headed home. She was pretty darn cranky when we got home and wouldn’t let me take her coat off or put her tights back on after we changed her diaper. This is how mad she was at me.
I wont even put a picture up of what she looked like after her nap. Since she wouldn’t let me put the tights back on, I decided to put socks on her so her feet wouldn’t get cold during her nap. She picked the socks and she decided on two different socks…each sock had different colored polka dots on them. It was hideous. Sara got home just about the time she got up from her nap and we decided to get some Christmas card pictures……….um here is a preview of how it went. lots and lots of cooperation…NOT!
so that was Monday’s with Bella. Hopefully she will like me a little bit more next Monday :)

As I was finishing this post I got a very sad phone call from my dad. My cousin Ashley passed away late this afternoon…just days before her birthday. Most of you know that she has been battling maxillary sinus cancer since May and it was a very aggressive & fast-moving cancer that she tried very hard to beat. if you look back through my Thanksgiving post, you will notice that several people have on Purple Star Tatoos…those were for Ashley and to remind everyone to pray for her. I don’t even know what to say because there are no words. It’s incredibly sad and it’s just not right. She was so young and so strong. You always think it will be okay and that something like this couldn’t happen. I know she is in a much better place and her pain & suffering is over, but she left behind a lot of people who loved her very much and now have broken hearts. Please pray for her family & friends and the healing of their hearts. Please pray for her mom Barb and her little sister Kelsey (who I just did pictures for about a week ago) for their peace & comfort. Please pray.

Bella helps you smile even when you’re very, very sad…

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something completely unique. P.S My apologies
for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
