First tooth!

his post is brought to you by the letter T - for TOOTH!  Yes, Sara had plans of showing photos of Belinda at the Stitch-n-Pitch Brewer's Game, and at her Baptism, but it was all overshadowed by the discovery of her first tooth.  Look close below and you can see the tiny white nub of a tooth!


She was feeling a bit moody and cranky last week.  Sara couldn't figure it out.  On Monday evening as she was crying, Mom looked in Belinda's mouth and discovered the tiny white tooth!  She is not yet 4 months old and she is already looking like a big girl!

Other big events in August have been:
A trip to the Wisconsin State Fair


Hair implants!
Tailgating in 90 degree weather to attend the 2nd Annual Milwaukee Brewer's Stitch N Pitch.  Belinda and Sara spent more time in the air conditioned first aid room than in their seats.  It was a HOT night.

Belinda helped celebrate Grandpa Bill's 65th Birthday at Butch's Steakhouse.  So delicious.



Belinda was getting ready for her big day.

Belinda was baptized on August 15, 2010 at Martin Luther Lutheran Church.  MN family joined WI family and friends for a celebration.  Belinda wore a baptismal gown made by Grandma Sandy.


Cousin Eddie took a nap outside by the tree at Belinda's baptism picnic.


Belinda's friend, Bridget made a beautiful cake for the picnic.  It was a nice afternoon and we did not get carried away by mosquitoes or humidity.


After the fun weekend we discovered Belinda's new tooth.  Here is another shot, in case you could not see it in the first photo.  Who knows what new adventures will come in during this next weekend?

Happy Life!

Belinda was trying on her new hat.  It is a bit big, but she didn't care.  In a few more months she'll be able to wear it.

Life hasn't been too exciting but Belinda is a happy girl!  She loves grabbing her blanket and playing with her spider. 


She spends a lot of time smiling and gurgling.  She coos - sometimes in the middle of the night when it is hard to get annoyed with her being awake.  I think that's why she's so cute - we can never get annoyed with her.

Belinda loves her bouncy chair.  She supervises Sara cook dinner or Brad when he is downstairs sewing.  She also has been known to fall asleep in the chair.

August is about to get busy so we're enjoying the quiet before the storm.

Stay cool.
