An Update On Our Little Family

I apologize for the delayed message. Our internet has been down for awhile, and we have been having lots of fun being a family.

Bella is doing absolutely great. She has been such a joy to have in our family. I love everything about her. She is just a little ray of sunshine in our lives. She is already giving me smiles. When I go in to see her after she has woken up from a nap, she gives me the biggest smiles. It is so much fun.

She is doing well with her eating and feeding schedules. She will sleep for about four to five hours in between naps. She usually is eating around four ounces with each feeding.


We haven't heard much news about Logan's case, but we have found that usually no news is good news. We are still shooting for sometime around May.


I have decided to post some photos of Bella with her wonderful gifts that people have sent her. I can't believe how thoughtful and kind everyone has been. Plus I figure it might be fun for the people that have given gifts to see how cute she looks with them.


My Aunt Carol sent Isabella this adorable outfit, and she made her the blanket. How sweet!

Our dear friends the Conklins gave Bella this adorable bath towel. Jennifer did an amazing job making it. I think it turned out beautifully.

My sweet friends the Pattons gave her this very adorable blanket. She loves cuddling up in it.

This is an outfit that was given to Bella by Mandy. She is one of the people that I work for, and a dear friend. When I told her that I wouldn't be in (because we were going to go pick up our daughter), she called her mom and told her the story. Her mom quickly ran out to the Carters store and picked Bella up a few things. How sweet and amazing is that!













Here are a couple other pictures that I thought everyone might enjoy.

Bella loves to look at herself in the mirror, when she is getting her diaper changed.

Proof that Bella has Daddy wrapped around her little finger.

She is so yummy! I love looking at pictures of beautiful Bella (the name fits perfect!) I am going to send you a baby gift very soon, I will email you to get your address soon so that I can do that. I just get tingles everytime I think about your adoption experience and that you have your sweet little baby in your arms, it is so amazing and wonderful! I love that quote you have at the top, it is so true!
