Bella 16 months now!

It's been a long time since I posted any pictures since her birthday in March so here's a picture chronicle of Bella until now....

Here we are at the Honolulu Zoo a few months back.  She loved the zoo so so much.  We'll definitely have to take her to the zoo back at home too.  The Honolulu Zoo was surprisingly clean and had more animals than what I expected.  Friends told us not to expect too much and we were pleasantly surprised.

Daddy, Bella and some lovely giraffes in the background.

We were in Cancun, Mexico a few weeks back.  We stayed at the Rosewood Miyakoba and it was THE most amazing hotel we've stayed at.  Thanks to work, everything was paid for as well.  The weather was quite humid which was great for Bella's skin.  Her eczema was totally gone that week and she got to wear shorts and tank tops the entire week.  It was so awesome in many ways expect for my hair!

Here we are at Tulum, one of the Mayan Ruins near Cancun.  It was super hot, but we went for a quick swim which was so refreshing.  The water was the amazing aqua color of the Caribbean and the sand was butter soft on our feet.  Thanks to Mom baby sitting, we were able to make this trip.

Not sure where we're at.  It's a cute one, so I added it.

Bella's playing at home.  After our trip to Cancun, her eczema has really cleared up and she's able to wear short sleeved outfits.  Yipee!!!!  I am so happy especially since the weather's been super duper warm.  I notice now babies/infants with eczema and I really feel for the babies and their parents.  

She's growing up so fast!  Bella finally started walking at the end of 14 months.  I was getting a bit worried because she took her sweet old time walking.  Even at 16 months, she not in any hurry to run off somewhere.  Bella's in her pink fairy outfit.

Bella and headless daddy at church.  She looked so sassy, I had to snap away.  It's one of my favorites pictures for the month.

Bella at a friend's birthday party.  She was such a good girl even though she missed her morning nap.  There's been many many birthday parties this year.

Bella at a wedding.  It seemed like one of the hottest days of the year and the church had no air conditioning!  We felt like we were melting, but Bella had a good time people watching and entertaining herself.  She's been so good in public places...I don't know if this is because she's a girl, the age, or if this is her personality.  We're hoping this will be permanent trait of hers.

It's been a long time since the last post.  We've been quite busy going back and forth from Hawaii, my mom's health issues, vacation, weddings & birthday parties, and of course Bella is growing up fast & I've had less time to sit and work on the blog.  I hope I can keep it up!
