It's been a while..! I haven't posted anything since our trip to Dallas where Hollie threw us the best baby shower ever! And I still haven't mailed out my thank you cards (so sorry! they're coming, promise) and now we're headed to England on Tuesday. A Few firsts that have happened since then..

Bella started laughing!! She has a tickle spot around her neck and if the mood is right, she laughs when I change clothes. She also likes it when we tickle her face with our hair. Her laugh is the best thing I have ever heard.

She found her feet!! I've been waiting for this moment even before she was born. It is my favorite thing ever.

She went to the pool for the first time. She didn't smile much because it took her eyes ages to adjust to how bright it was, but I think she enjoyed it!

We're heading back to the pool in about an hour, but Bella and Gerard are taking a little nap on the couch together. There will be millions more pictures from London when we return! I'm excited to go, but I probably won't even get to touch her til it's time to put her down to bed. We're also starting baby signing and Your Baby Can Read this month so I'll keep you guys updated on how well that goes.. I'm a bit skeptical about Your Baby Can Read but how cool would it be to have a 9 month old that reads flash cards?! Gerard is certain that I'm on the same track as Rick Moranis in Parenthood..... I'm not that bad.
