Dresses and Bows and Pigtails OH MY!!!

Chappell loves to feel pretty and wear her little dresses with the perfect bow to match! She is very girlie like her mommy ;) When I got home from work yesterday, Mom had given her pigtails. It was most precious thing I have ever seen. She is growing up so fast! She is so animated and has the cutest personality. What a blessing she is in our lives!!!

Little Swimmer

Chappell went swimming for the first time on May 30, 2009 at 8 mths. She really loves her bath so I knew that she would love the swimming pool! We bought her an adorable lily pad float that she can sit in that has a canopy to keep her out of the sun. She loved it! She also loves for Mommy and Daddy to carry her in the pool and let her kick her feet. In less than one week she gets to see the ocean for the first time and will be able to play in the sand! I just know she is going to love it! There is nothing like summertime with a little one...so much fun!!!

A visit from the tooth fairy & Bday parties!

Chappell got her first tooth at almost 8 months! It is her left bottom tooth. Today i got a phone call from her "manny" my dad, and she is getting a second one right beside it! She will be eating a steak soon ... and visits from the tooth fairy will be here before we know it!

Chappell also was invited to her very first birthday party and went to that last night. It was sooo cute! Her neighbor, Aubrey, turned 1 and she wore her little party dress and mommy and daddy took her. She was quiet and just took everything in. She was fascinated by all the little kids and had so much fun! She is making friends left and right! Oh how fast they grow up...

Our Growing Baby Girl

Words cannot express the joy that Chappell brings to my life. I never could have imagined the feeling that having a child of your own brings and it truly is the most rewarding and incredible experience I have ever felt. She is such a blessing to me and to watch her grow and evolve each day is beyond words. I am such a proud mommy and Chappell makes my life so content. It has been a while since I have updated her blog. Over the past 4 months she has grown up so fast and changed so much. She has such a cute personality and is so sweet. Her smile can make anyone just MELT. And when she giggles uncontrollably I think that is the best sound I've ever heard.

She has had many breakthroughs recently. She started to crawl a lot around 7 months. Now at 8 months says "DaDa" and "BaBa" all the time, and has said "Hey" and "Hello". She also says "Mom" and "MaMaMa" when she is upset. Chappell got her first tooth recently and it is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Chappell now claps for herself when she does something good and she loves to play with her toys and stuffed animals :) She is truly mommy's angel :) XOXO!
