Somehow I blinked and my baby turned 1 1/2. Life seems to be moving in hyper speed right now. I SO LOVE this phase right now with Bella. She is just so much fun and I love spending my days with her, but at the same time, I see her and she looks SO OLD to me, and I just want to freeze time and not let her age any more since it is all going a little too fast. In the week leading up to her 18 month birthday Bella started to get more adventurous with her walking and, just shy of 18 months, began walking independently! WALKING! It just blows my mind, there were many days when I thought I might not see it happen, even though everyone assured me it would. I love seeing my little girl waddling around the house, it's the best. We continue on with physical therapy to try to correct her ankle a little more, but it is mostly something that will just correct itself with time, and muscle strengthening through use. At her 18 month appointment Bella weighed in at 19lbs 7oz (11%) and 31.5'' (42%). She makes me laugh so much every day and brings Rowdy and I so much joy. She has such a sweet, sensitive heart and I can't wait to see the way the Lord uses that as she grows.
Holding her most prized possessions.....her bracelets. She loves jewelery, she doesn't like to wear her bracelets yet, she just wants to carry them around with her. Through her entire 18 month doctors appointment she held her bracelets (yes....through the weigh in, and the shots, little cutie!) 
Playing in her crib. She LOVES to play in her crib. She likes to turn her music on, get a book, play with her blankies and her doggie stuffed animal.
I just love her little face
Oh her smile, it melts my heart!
Pointing to her tongue, a favorite trick (although she, of course, gets stage fright very often!)
Such a goofball!
Carrying around her sippy, I just loved how silly she was being!
My beautiful baby girl (SO cute in her little pigtails!) Happy 18 month birthday Bella buns!
