Bella smiling and grabbing at her new white tiger, which I named "Annabelle" in honor of our baby
As you can see, Bella is now reaching and grabbing for interesting objects in front of her. She especially likes to reach for the orange when I am holding her while I try to peel that fruit. At her four-month check-up, we found out that she has ear infections (which would explain why she's been scratching her ears, although she has no fever and is generally happy just to be over the bronchiolitis). Bella now weighs 12 pounds 9 ounces and is 24.75 inches long/tall with a head circumference of 42.5 cm. Over the past two months, she only gained 1 pound 5 ounces, so she isn't growing quite enough. It's probably just because two weeks of heavy congestion made it difficult for her to eat, and we expect her to grow for us now that she can breathe better.

Zoo Atlanta
We took the girls' new wagon for a spin at the zoo. I had to carry Bella to make room for Gabi and her dolls (and the diaper bag) in the wagon. The wagon isn't quite big enough to accomodate Gabi and an infant car seat, so Bella will have to wait until she can sit up well before she rides in it.
Oooh! The lions paced right in front of us

This Mommy has a baby in her pouch, too!
What is more interesting: fingers or animals?
Lolo and Lola
Lolo and Lola came to eat dinner with us last weekend during a five-hour layover in Atlanta on their way to Seattle. Gabi was so excited to see her grandparents unexpectedly, but when they suddenly had to leave and she had to stay at home to go to bed, she was most upset. Fortunately, they are coming back tomorrow to stay for a few days.
Bella tells Lola that she is hungry
Gabi shows Lola and Lolo all her doll clothes and then teaches them how to play dominoes
Bella is interested in Lolo and Lola now that her tummy is full
Happy Bella with her grandparents

WOW...our nieces are the cutest! :)
Happy New Year to you all!
I just got back from vacation and had a chance to check out the videos! I love them! One of my favorite things is childrens' voices and it's especially nice to be able to see you and Mikey, too. You are doing a great job with your new toy! All my love to the whole family and I'm so glad that Bella is feeling better. Poor baby!
I love the mommy-with-baby-inna-pouch picture!
