My beautiful (hooman) niece! *PICS*

[Kater]

Isabella Ruby was born at 10:45pm on July 4, 2003 making me a very happy first time Auntie!

She was born with 'firecracker' red hair that she seems to be "moulting" at the moment. The new, thicker hair is growing in .....RED again! Yay!

She goes by Bella, which fits her perfectly since she couldn't be any more beautiful! She is just six weeks old today and growing like a weed!!! Well, the kind of weed that you WANT in your garden anyway.

May I present....

Miss Bella!

Notice the sassy pose?

Look at those great, big, beautiful eyes!


S-T-R-E-E-E-E-T-C-H! This girl is always stretching, she is the yoga queen already!


The new Grandma!


The new Grandpa! Something about a warm baby on your chest just makes you so sleeeepy........


That's all for now!

I loved the last pictures you showed me, but these are so cute! I love the ones of grandma and grandpa holding her all asleep. So cute!!

She sure is a big beautiful girl! Look at those big brown eyes!
Congrats, she's a beauty.

Beautiful, beautiful baby girl! It will be fun as you share more pictures of her growing up. It will all happen way to fast!

[Kater]

Thanks for all the compliments. You're right about growing up waaay too fast--- she is learning how to grab things now and she's been pulling my shirt whenever I'm holding her! She's also getting really good at holding up her gigantic head! She's really a very strong little thing!!!

I only have 3 days left to visit with her before I fly back to school. I'm really going to miss her! I'm sure I'll go through some phases of "Bella withdrawl." However, I get to see her at Thanksgiving and then again at Christmas--- so I won't have to wait too terribly long!

If we take any more *extra cute* pictures in the next three days I'll be sure to add them to this thread.

3 days left and still no Mele pics?!?! No Mele stories either! PLEASE post some before you go back to school. I'm desperate.

As for more Bella pics, I can't wait to see them, so get your camera out and start snapping pics of both birdie and baby.

Here's a great new 'Bella pic! She's two months old now. I'm sad that she is growing so quickly and I'm missing it all! Anyway, here is one of her 1,000 facial expressions:




SOOOOO CUTE! (If I do say so myself!)
