Today was the start of Monday’s With Bella…but it was actually a pretty dull day, ha! I was still pretty tired from my whirlwind of a weekend and from what my sister told me it sounded like Bella had a busy weekend too. She slept in until a little after 8:30 and when I went up to get her she was being totally goofy! She was curled up in a ball smiling at me really big and then she just kept throwing herself around her crib while also making “her noise” (my family knows the noise) and then she got the saddest look on her face when I wouldn’t give her kisses because her face was covered in snot. Don’t worry, I gave her lots of kisses once her face was disinfected :) We had pancakes and milk for breakfast then we played with some books and Bella broke into my purse.
I had a couple errands I needed to run, but I honestly just wanted to stay in all day :) I had to get a gift card from Anthropolgie so I decided we could run to the Galleria, which is weird because my apartment is right by the galleria…so I don’t know why I decided to trek it all the way back over towards my apartment with Bella when I could have just gone when I got done babysitting Bella. Anyway! We got Bella dressed and put in her cute new ponytail that she is sporting these days! I put some pictures in here for my family. I think she looks adorable with her little ponytail.
We got to the Galleria and Bella was on cloud nine! I let her walk by herself and she got to carry her purse so she really thought she was big stuff! She was talking to everyone and waving at everyone and dancing as we passed every store that I had music. Bella also has this weird male/female acceptance thing going on. She loves men, but is a little hesitant about being friends with women. There was a guy that walked past us and Bella happened to have her hand in the air (in order to keep her purse on her shoulder) and I guess this guy thought Bella wanted to hold his hand. So he started talking to Bella and held her hand and he walked with us for about a minute (which was enough for me to kinda start getting creeped out) and then we moved on. Then we went into Harry & David’s and this sweet, sweet lady immediately started offering Bella all sorts of treats. She had a cup full of Gummy Bears and Bella wouldn’t come out from behind me to get them from her. I finally had I take one and give it to her and then she agreed to take them from the nice lady. Eventually she warmed up to her and by the time we left she was smiling and waving at her. I don’t understand how she was okay with holding the creepy guys hand, but was scared to death about getting gummy bears from a sweet lady at Harry & David’s. I should also mention that we saw the same guy as we were leaving the mall and he DID THE SAME THING!! This time he practically walked us to our car. It was weird. We got home, got some lunch and once Bella decided she had tossed a decent amount of that lunch on the floor we decided to play around for a bit and then take a nap. Like I said, not a very exciting way to start off Monday’s With Bella, but oh well :) I was tired, she was tired so sleeping in, a bit of shopping and a long nap was the perfect way to spend our Monday! I also wanted to make a quick note about requesting photo shoots via blog comments. Sometimes I don’t look at older posts for weeks (which means I don’t see your comment about wanting to set up a photo shoot for weeks. I will be replying to comments, sending emails & making phone calls tomorrow for all the one’s I’ve gotten thus far. I just wanted everyone to keep in mind that if you just shoot me an email or call me, you will get a much much quicker response from me. I’m off to edit more photos now. Editing photos will be my life for this next week!!
So my mom wanted to see a picture of Bella’s face… so here you go :) She’s got her morning hair going on.

Oh funny Bella. I was hoping to see a pic of her with her purse at the mall.

Those are on my blackberry…I don’t know how to get them off my phone. Do you?
Allison says
I think if you put the desktop software on your computer, it will allow you to transfer photos.
Mom says
Elusive Bella, Grandma wants to see your sweet little smile!!
