Blogging is hard work.

There are times when I just really.want.to.wear.my.hat. No matter the cost.

Yay! It's finally below 90 degrees outside!

Special thanks to Colleen for the warm snuggly outfit. I was prepared for the ONE COLD DAY OF THE YEAR.

Napping

Napping is certainly one of daddy's favorite Sunday afternoon activities, but if he's napping, that only leaves mommy to play with. And I play with mommy all week. Can you really blame me for waking him up by sticking my fingers up his nose? Or in his eyes? Or pulling his hair? I mean, I deserve all the attention I can get!!!

Big Shoes

Thank God for shoes!!! They are truly one of the most brilliant inventions I have come across. I am just itching for daddy to get off the couch and take me shopping for the latest fashions. Unfortunately the options here at home are somewhat ... limited.

Like Father, like Daughter.

My interest in shoes continues. I like to put my shoes on my dolls or try on Mommy's shoes. This pair is particularly tricky.

Why do you look so concerned, Mommy? I'm just reorganizing.

I found these in my closet, and I remember seeing Mommy try to stick them to the wall and various other places. I decided to help. Though I've devoted a great deal of attention to this project, it just will not stay up!

Apparently my blog has a vendetta against this picture, becauseI have tried to post this picture several times, and it just won't happen! Anyway, here I am flirting with Mimi and Papa Ned.

Ahoy, Maties

AVAST!!! 'Tis the day to be celebraten International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and here at Belly Tales we be beliven that yar'ought ter be getten mighty in touch within yar internasional selves, oughten yer be. Hopen you'll find heap lot o' fun out thar on ye old internet.

You all have no idea how hard that was for me to put together. Phew. In the interest of conveying my message more accurately, I was looking for comments, negative or positive, on the new looks of the blog. I've been tinkering away and just wanted to know what you all think. Thanks!!!

PS. Check out the cool new site counter at the bottom. Now I can keep tabs on yer all!!! And, again I say, AVAST!!!

Dancing Queens

This is Isabel and Alena again, displaying the mad dancing abilities I was talking about earlier. Isabel is certainly following in her dad's footsteps.

Daddy and MORE babies

This is sort of a test post. Nikki suggested a new method of posting pictures, and I really like the way they look on her blog. Let me know if Belly's blogership has any comments.





This is one of Isabel's neighborhood friends. Her mother just had a rough time getting her wisdom teeth out and has been soliciting any baby assistance she can get. Of course, we were more than happy to help. This is Alena, and she is two. She and Isabel play well together. Alena is quite the dancer, and when music is on, they both just tear up the rug. It is very cute.

Smiling up the stairs at Mommy.

Speaking of things that are just my size..... here are two more.

Aunt Mary Nell ("Mimi") showed me a fun new thing to do with my dollies. TEA PARTIES! She had a little table and dishes that were just my size.

Uncle Bill and I are looking for butterflies (like the things on my shoes) at the zoo's butterfly garden. I got SO close to them!

This is how I stand up when there's nothing around to hold onto. Sometimes, though, I take a little pause in this position. You know, just to think about things.
