Hope Loves Bella

First Time Apple picking

We headed up to NH to go apple picking with Aunty Tara, Uncle Kevin, Kristy, Johanna, and Kieren. Hope had a great time. She especially loved the pumpkin patch. In another development she got her first tooth two days after she turned 7 months!

First time in the North End

I worked very hard today painting in the North End so I deserved a much needed nap in my new carrier with my mommy :)

Six Months

At six months Hope had her first "official" haircut at Salon Capri. She also has been eating lots of new foods..sweet potato, banana, avacado, pear, and oatmeal. She is flipping over in bed so we had to get rid of the swaddle blanket. Sitting on her own is her favorite activity. She weight 14lbs 8 oz which is only the 18 percentile so we need to feed her more! She is 26 1/2 inches which is 72 percentile and yes her head is still enormous (96 percentile)!!!

High Chair

Look at me ...I am such a big girl!

Sophie was nice enough to lend Hope a hair "pretty"

Hope's Friends

Hope had her first "play date" and she was very good at sharing her toys!

Newest Photos

Mike Boucher really captured some great Hope expressions the other day. The one is her new teething face or as we like to refer to it as her "Mr Magoo" face!

Hope at four months...

Here are her new stats: 12 lbs 10 oz (25 percentile); 24 3/4 inches (65 percentile) and yes she still has a big head (85 percentile) She had more shots but was a trooper. Dad scooped her right up and she stopped crying.

This is what happens....

When Dad puts on Hope's hat!

Hope in the Wild West

Hope enjoyed her time in Utah for Pop's 60th birthday. She went on her first ski lift and train ride. She didn't love the plane ride so much on the way home. We are now that couple that people role their eyes at when they see us coming.

Beach Bum

Like my bathing suit?

First ....

At only 3 months old, Hope had her first haircut. It was getting so long in the back it was making her hot and getting stuck in her buttons on her outfits. (not to mention that it was starting to look like a mullet!) I apologize to Grandma D ...I didn't do that good of a job. She is waiting for her personal hair stylist to come visiting to give her a real haircut!

Hope's First Laughs

New Seat

Here is Hope in her new bumbo seat. The seat helps her sit up...she looks so funny we can't stop laughing when she is in it...

Hope in Class
