Bella's One Year Stats

Bella turned 1 on 9/7/09.

She had her Dr. appt. on 9/9/09. She's 'perfect' per her pediatrician -stats:

Weight 20 lb. 2.2 oz. (34%)
Length 30 inches (79%)
Head 47 cm. (93%)

Like a perfect little bobblehead doll :) We love her.

Looks like this MIGHT be a monthly deal. :P

So it has been over a month since the last post. We are either extremely lazy or extremely busy. I am going to go with BOTH. Bella turned 1 whole years oldz this month. Amazing. Fox started school. I'm feeling like I should just go ahead and plan to learn how to yell and kids to get off my yard it is all going by so fast. So instead of a drawn out novel of useless information. I made a video of said info. :) ENJOY!

FYI: The video had to be majorly shrunkified to be able to upload...so the quality is not up to snuff really....but...as Robbie Nevil once said....C'est La Vie. :)

Music (Come On! Feel the Illinoise! Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream)

Sufjan Stevens

Bella decided to get up on the horsey tonight. Then I decided to put it to music. :)

Fox finds a hat.

So Fox Hollis wandered in tonight out of nowhere with this hat on. First words were..."Mirror". Then he said "I look like Sean Connery in The Last Crusade." Makes a Dad proud. :)

Mymymy... Did I really...?

Did I really just order the invitations to Bella's 1st birthday party? How has almost a year passed already? We have so much going on. Work is crazazy for me - in a good way, I think?? Shaggy is doing great with the salsa biz. He's also reconnected with his birth Mom and is super-excited about this. We are hoping for an August face-to-face meeting - they've been chatting quite a bit. We almost bought a new house, then backed out. We've now decided to spend the next two years becoming entirely debt-free instead of spending - imagine that. Fox starts pre-school Tuesday, Sept. 7. He'll be going Tues., Wed., Thurs. 8 a.m. until noon - ACK! Speaking of how did that happen... Seems like just yesterday he was in a highchair. People don't lie - time flies with these kids. Cherish every moment. That's all my update for now. Be back soon!

Let the blog begin!

I feel like a slacker! I had completely stopped updating the previous foxandbella.com primarily because it became a real hassle. Yes - it might have looked a little more spruced up - but, believe it or not, it was completely not automated. So now we start a new process - THE BLOG! Let me know what you think!
