    our animals...

    I thought it only fair to share a bit of "space" with our other babies - Princess Zoe Francesca de los Angeles and Ludwig...

    lil' swimmer...

    I waited quite a while to take her into the pool (nervous mother), but she LOVES it (and naps for 2 whole hours afterwards :))

    Bella loves books!

    She loves it when I read to her at night.  It is cute to see her study the pictures and pat the pages :)

    sleep...zzzzzzzz

    I finally had to do it - let her "cry it out" - it was heartwrenching for the mami.  She screamed for two hours the first night and an hour and a half the second - of course unbeknownst to her, I was right there the whole time.
    I don't know how she was able to scale so many octaves and find different shrieks that would jar me to the bone.  It is a gift!
    My mother has been saying " you'll just have to let her cry it out" - now my mother is on alert, panicked and the first to notify me that "she is crying, she is crying" - so much for that!
    I now just bundle her up and stick in the chupi (binki) - although much to my chagrin she still prefers the thumb!
