Arabella Kiersten Weeks 9-10

These were the last two weeks of my Mom's visit with us. It was so wonderful having her here to help out and to enjoy watching Arabella grow. I loved having her here with me as I became a Mom. It's been an experience I'll never forget. I'm so thankful she could be here.
We got Mom the Grandma Willow Tree person and the Mother's Journal. Now, I just hope that she'll sit down and write in it. I got one for Dad for Father's Day a couple of years ago, and I don't think he's ever written in it. It's all about their legacy. I thought it would be something very special to have. So, please write in them!
Here was Grandma's good-bye for now! What a proud Grandma! We miss you already!
Sadie is starting to get used to having the baby around. I think she's finally realizing that the baby's not going anywhere.
This is kind of fun up here, Daddy!
Arabella loves her activity mat. Each week she's discovering more on it. As she grows, she's able to reach and grab new things. It's so wonderful being home with her and watching her as she grows!
She also loves bath time. Especially because she can watch herself in the mirror. This week, she gave her first full-bellied laugh in the mirror in the tub. It was so cute! I wish you all could have been there to witness it. I'll try to catch it on tape the next time.
Easter Sunday
She was so good. We took her to church for the first time. We were so proud of our little girl!

Daddy is so proud that Arabella wants to be a Red Sox fan too. She sat and watched the opening season game against the NY Yankees. The Red Sox won. I think it had something to do with her Red Sox blanket and bear.

Tummy time!
Here I am with my bear again. Don't even think of taking it away!
She's such a big girl! She was watching the NCAA championship game, also with her bear!
We cheered on the Mountaineers. I guess they didn't feel the love here enough to win.
