Remember back in December...I posted about another child that was in the same Foster Home with Isabella....well, Isabelle came home last Thursday. Welcome Home Isabelle!! We went to visit Isabelle and her mom, Lauren on Sunday. Sadly, the girls didn't seem to remember each other. But, they did play and have a snack together. Check out the photos of the girls together---then and now.

We have been home 7 months today and those months have flown by. Bella is such a loving, sweet child....most of the time...lol. But, does she ever have a temper if she doesn't get her way. She can get as angry as a Jalapeno pepper is hot. But just leave her alone for about a minute and she gets over it as if nothing happened at all.

We reached another milestone about a week ago. Bella was still drinking a bottle of milk before she went to bed and last Thursday we put the bottles away and she went 'nite nite' with no bottle. We have a few new words that Bella will say on occasion...juice, snack, bubble, hat, nite-nite, Nat-Nat (she is in Bellas class at Daycare), Alan (my nephew). Of course, the pronunciation leaves a bit to be desired, but I know exactly what she is saying. :)
