Six Months!

Hello friends!

 I totally missed 5 month pics until late, so I forwent them and decided just to wait until Arabella turned 6 months. :] She is doing well, growing fast, but she won't have her well child check until later this month. In any case, she is a big girl, she can sit up and is making strides toward crawling! She has started eating things like avocado (which she LOVES), asparagus, rice cereal, celery and carrots. She seems to enjoy trying new things, and I love watching her get super messy.

 Sheesh. Look at those gorgeous eyes!

Hadassah wasn't as cooperative this time around... which is sort of her characteristic of late anyway. Toddlerhood has hit this household full force! :P She is frustrated, whiny and just like all toddlers. :] She is still a joy, though! :D

Here is her pouty moment. She was just so frustrated. I'm praying that subsides as she learns to communicate better. :] But here are the rest of the pictures with her in them... Mostly her being distracted by learning about things by playing and having NO interest in taking pictures or sharing with her sister. :] 

 Oh how I love these two little ladies. Wow. 

'Til next time! Love from the Bulls!

Family Vacation!

We were able to take a family vacation this week! We went to Galveston for a few days to spend a little bit of time on the beach. H didn't really like the ocean, but she loved chasing the seagulls and playing with the sand! Arabella was intrigued by the ocean, and slept most of the time on the beach. Hadassah REALLY enjoyed our balcony. :D

Hadassah really loved the balcony.

She didn't enjoy being a mermaid. Haha. She was saying "no" in this picture.

This is us before Arabella woke up. 

Family photo! All of the blue eyes!

Mommy and Arabella. I love this beautiful baby.

Hadassah and her daddy. That smile is priceless. 

Hadassah decided to sit on this mountain of seaweed. 

 We spent some time in Houston, too, with this beautiful family. 

It was such a joy meeting their little guy, and talking with them. These wonderful friends are always so encouraging and I cherish all of the time we get with them. They are such loving and wonderful parents, it was so great to hang out with them! Even if it meant getting back to Dallas around ONE am. ;] It was definitely worth it. 

The rest of the week, we spent in Dallas. Hadassah got lots of time at some parks, and Arabella enjoyed watching all of the kiddos play.

 Hadassah playing away!

Hadassah loved playing basketball with her daddy, uncle and grandpa. 

                                                            Arabella: this baby and her bright eyes, adorable faces, and big smiles. Oh my goodness.

 Stay tuned in the next week for more of Arabella's super beautiful faces when I take and post her 5 month pictures! :D
