Happy Birthday Bella!

Our fearless little girl...well except when it comes to nursery and babysitters...lol!

I can't believe that it's already been 2 years, probably should have done this post yesterday (5/7) her actual birthday! Oh well! It's hard to believe that just 2 short years ago we were still in the hospital and Arabella Raquel Juarez had just completely entered our family, we already loved her before she was born, but now it was real. She was a great baby. She has always been such a sweet little girl. She loves to talk and one of her favorite things to say is La Boo! That's how she says love you! I love it. I hope that when she is 30 she will still tell me La Boo Mommy! I want it said the same way she does now! Not realistic, I know, but it's just so darn cute! I just can't believe that my baby is now a toddler. The time goes by so fast. Here are some pretty recent pictures of my toddler, I can't believe it. She is so big and talks so much and is (usually) so sweet. We have truly been blessed to have her in our family. She can make you smile just by looking at you. We love her so much! (I just wish she wasn't growing so quickly! Where did the time go?) We love you Bella! Happy Birthday!

Something Funny....

I forgot to put in the last post something funny that happened. When we were at Ryukyu Mura there were a lot of high school kids there. It was a weekday so I guess maybe they were on a field trip. Well, everyone always says how cute Bella is, strangers walking by in stores and stuff, Juanpablo has a Japanese lady that he used to work with and she had taught him some Japanese and cute was one of the words so we knew what people were saying. The Japanese people just think that Bella is so cute, not that I disagree, but I wonder if they would call her cute all the time if she had darker hair. There is something about the light colored hair that the Japanese people just seem to like. Well, when we were at Ryukyu Mura with all the high school kids a group of teenage girls came over and were saying hi to Bella, Bella was in the stroller. Then they were saying how cute she is and they actually got down on the ground beside her and took pictures with her! It was like she was some kind of celebrity or something! They had to pose with her. It was just too funny! Bella loved it. She usually is very reserved around strangers, but she did smile for the pictures and say bye when they left. It was just too funny! Oh, so yesterday my baby became a full fledged toddler! She is now officially in the terrible two stage, though she's been acting like she's been in that stage for a few months now. Well, on Wednesday she started singing happy birthday to herself and saying happy birthday to herself. We had to remind her that her birthday wasn't until the next day. Every thime we would try to get it on video she would stop. We did eventually get it on the video camera, her saying Happy Birthday and a little bit of her singing but not the whole song. It was so cute. I got it with my camera also, so I'm gonna try to post it on here. Hope it works!
