Bella’s First Shoes

In the advent of her new walker, my mom and I decided to buy Bella Grace her first shoes. So my mom who got so very excited bought a baby rubber shoes. She was excited because she bought a bigger size and in green color. She said she had no choice because there were no available for smaller and girl babies. All her children and even Bella’s old siblings, Micah and David, has this as their first shoes.

First Time and First Wound

Today, for the very first time, we witnessed Bella cried when I left home to accompany her brother to school. It was the first time she recognized that her mom is going away without her and leaving her behind with her grandmother. Though she was crying, it was very momentous since she is already showing signs of mental development. I was happy and sad at the same time but since I need to have her brother attend school, all I can do was kiss her good bye.

Another first happened today, Bella got her first wound. Her Papa was holding her for a bit while he watches the Game 2 of PBA Finals: Alaska vs. Purefoods when suddenly Bella bumped herself at the chair and got her gums bleeding. She didn’t cry that hard but she cried demanding to be carried her way! LOL!

She may even sit momentarily without assistance — be nearby, however, to provide support and surround her with pillows to cushion a possible fall. Encourage her to play face-down on the floor: lifting her head and chest to see toys or your face helps strengthen her neck muscles and develops the head control necessary for sitting up. If you support her under the arms while letting her balance her feet on your thighs, she’ll bounce up and down. She’s capable of easily bringing an object to her mouth for oral exploration.
