Bella is 18 months

Bella turned 18 months last month. So far she has gone to nursery 3 times and the nursery leaders have been impressed with her. She walks in and begins to play and is happy and content all through nursery. I keep thinking she'll start crying at some point but so far she goes in and has a great time. She helps to put away toys at cleaning time and eats all her snack. Everyone is so much happier during 2nd and 3rd now! Bella is very sensitive and loves giving and receiving hugs. She is very calm and relaxed when she is on her own. When her and Hannah are together it kind of changes everything :) I love how she helps me to clean and is always eager to go down for a nap! She also loves putting on shoes and clothes. It's kind of ironic because Hannah is the complete opposite the less clothing she has to wear the better. Bella, is a very sweet little girl.



I've been having so much fun with her hair! I love doing her hair!



It took a while but Bella is finally coming in to her teeth. All four of her molars, five teeth on top and three teeth on the bottom are all making their way through her gums. She is pretty much going to double her teeth this month once they all finally come through :)




Bella doesn't say more than a handful or words but she is good at getting her point across. When she is hungry or thirsty she lets me know by bringing me a plate, bowl or cup.




I have these soft fuzzy socks that she loves to put on. I always crack up because they go clear up her legs :)



Being bashful!


We are pretty sure she has food allergies. She gets these hives all over her chest and stomach. She scratches and scratches at them. They keep her up some nights. This is a picture where it is just the shoulders and it is a little washed out but this was a rough day for us both.


I've been treating the hives with hydro-cortisone and then children's benedryl when it gets really bad. Does anyone have experience with this and have a tips to share? It's really rough when it wakes her up and night and then we spend hours between waking up and falling back asleep.
