My beautiful (hooman) niece! *PICS*

Bella reached 9 months on the 4th of this month! She has two teeth, smiles, crawls and walks when you hold her hands. My brother just e-mailed some recent pictures and I thought they were TOO CUTE not to share!

Look at my teefers!

Bella turned 1 on July 4th but I missed it! Waaaaaaaah!!! :( I was on the Big Island doing my internship. *pout* BUT at least I have pictures!!!

This first group is before her birthday... she was about 11 months old here.

Here she is with my Grandmother, her Great Grandmother and my Brother, her Daddy.

Oh Kate! I've enjoyed this thread so much. Its wonderful to get to see her grow from an itty bitty to a gorgeous, happy 1 year old!

I ljust love that...LOVES presents!! That's some excellent training! ;)

Hugs,
Kelly

P.S. I can't believe she's 1 already. It seems like yesturday we were talking about our new Bella's! Wow...my Bella will be 1 on the 29th, we're going down south for her Birthday, I'll be sure and get some pictures to share with you as well. :)

OMG! Bella has grown SO much since we last saw her! She's adorable, Kater! So, so, cute! Do you have more pics? :p

Oh Kate, she's so sweet! I absolutely love that little dress she's wearing and that picture with her little tummy showing! She seems like such a happy little girl! :D

That sweet little baby is indeed a cute one! Congratulations!

She is beautiful!

What is so heartwarming is to see the entire family taking such joy in her.

May this be the first of many more happy, healthy and well loved birthdays for Bella.

I haven't seen my darling niece for nearly a year now! :( I will get to be with her for Christmas this year, so I have that to look forward to! However, I demand lots of pictures and I wanted to share some of my recent favorites here. :)

Here is Bella hanging out in one of her favorite spots...the kitchen cabinets!
