18 Months

Ginger Belle will be 18 months on November 6. Time flies!! It seems like yesterday that I was mixing up bottles every four hours. She is a delight. She is hilarious. She is a pure example of God's love!!

Halloween 2010

(I can't get enough of the sweet gap!)

Did I mention that she is silly? This is what I turned around to find one night while driving home.

18 Facts about Ginger Belle...

1. She loves to eat. The apple didn't fall far from that tree.

2. She loves to point out her body parts and will proudly find your bellybutton for you.

3. She calls her pacifier "Patsy." Love it!

4. She loves to have her teeth brushed. Every morning after she gets her clothes on and every night after she gets out of the tub she hollers, "Teeth! Teeth!"

5. She can name many family members and loves to tell everyone that she is "Ginger/Ginder."

6. She can say her ABC's. Well, kind of. It goes something like this: "ABCDDG." It's a start!

7. She loves to dance!!
