So much has changed since my last post! We have moved to a new house, sold our apartment, Bella has her own room and today Bella got her own big girl bed! There are so many things I am not sure where to start!! We have a new house with a yard and a little pond that Bella has been entertaining herself by fishing in. She seems to have taken a real shine to fishing since watching Pingu. Any puddle is a possible fishing hole for her.

Just before we moved our stuff Taneli's dad came to visit. Isabella enjoyed making use of his lap. She stayed there quite a while.

The same went for Taneli's Uncle Heikki who visited yesterday. I think that Bella has only met him a couple of times when she was smaller so really cannot remember him I think.

But she sure did enjoy sitting there all comfy in his lap! She snuggled in there quite cosily for a long time...I even came to check on her since I couldn't hear her for the longest time. Bella's great-grandma also came for a visit.
We moved the majority of our stuff last Sunday but it is the "minority" of stuff that was left behind that has been a real pain. Because Taneli broke his big toe last Saturday, I have been having to do most of the packing and moving of the huge amount of left over stuff that never made it on Sunday. I cannot believe how much stuff there has been. I think that I have made about 5 car trips full of stuff! Bella and Taneli have been lucky because since we have our own little yard now, they can sit out when it is sunny on the swing bench. Lucky them! Bella also has her own garden table and chairs (as seen in a recent post). I was able to track down a a set even though the guy at the store said that they were sold out. She has been enjoying those. Three of her cousins came over yesterday and they were playing on them.

Bella has really enjoyed the move so far. We were wondering if she would miss the old place- nope. We wondered if she would be scared in her own room- nope. So now we just have to hope that she takes the new bed in stride just like all the other changes. At this point, I can't see why not. But just in case I have left her crib up in her room. If there is no trouble tonight, then I will take it down tomorrow. If I have time!
Tomorrow is the last day that we have the apartment so I am getting someone that Jaana knows to come over to clean. I hope that I haven't set her an impossible task. We have Terhi's graduation party to go to.
Bella's new bed...no problems sleeping there!
