Halloween 2008 has started!
Bella's class had a Halloween Parade around the office today. Bella was neither happy or sad - she just looked like "What the heck is going on?" She had a cute dinosaur and lion using her as a pillow and she was just chillin'! It was awesome.

Naps
Bella sleeps great. This week, however, she's not wanting to take her second nap at home. She is starting to want me to play with her more and stuff. So I don't know if she doesn't like going down because she misses me or because she's teething or something (btw... she has her front 4 teeth on the bottom and the top... what is next?) She is drooling like crazy...
Anyhow, I rocked her just now and was singing to her. When I stopped, she started singing. It sounded something like, "Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy. Saaddd. Dog! Nuts." It cracked me up, which didn't help the sleeping out.

My favorite video
This video is a few years old, but never gets old to me. I love it!!!!! The noise, the reactions of the others... priceless.

One Year Check-up
Bella had her one year check up today. 20 lbs, 7 oz and 29.5 inches tall. I have no idea what percentile those are, but she's doing great! :)
Can I just say I LOVE HOODIES? I love wearing them, I love Chris in them, I love wearing his big hoodies AND I love them on Bella! This weather is great hoodie weather! Here she is today after her 4 shots. (She got a flu shot, too!)
And here she is at Toys R Us last week. When it's their birthday, they give your kid a balloon & crown. She had on the perfect shirt for the crown, don't you think?

Perfect Park Weather
Now that Katie is a "stay-at-home-mom," we wasted no time enjoying our new-found weekends together. It's nice to get Bella outside for some new scenery, especially if we can find some kids playing in the vicinity. That alone will keep her entertained.
Here are a few shots from our adventure.

Update
Hi there!
So, I realize most of you love the pictures of Bella and visit for her cute self! I don't blame you. She's awesome. But here's a post with just an update, probably no pics.
So.... today is my (Katie's) last day at Novare and at TWELVE Centennial Park. I've been here almost 4 years now!
My first year here was my hardest job EVER. I cried and cried at that job and I worked harder than I ever have. I love Novare because someone there let me switch roles into sales. It had never happened before, and somehow I got in the door (right place, right time) and was saved from marketing and pulling my hair out. It also gave me the opportunity to work part time and try new things.
At the time, I thought about opening a doggie day care place. People treat their dogs like kids, and doggie day care is so popular in the city. Well, I did the part-time thing, thinking I'd also work part time at a doggie day care. You know, Clark Howard says you need to work in the industry and try it out before going out and starting one. This was a good move. After 3 days, I knew that wasn't for me. Another story, another day... let me know if you want to hear more.
This job has been so great, taught me all about real estate - marketing side and sales side (never thought I'd be good at sales but I liked it!) I've now sold over 50 homes here in my 2.5 yrs at TWELVE! I love the ladies I work with, and I love the schedule it's allowed me to have with Bella.
But, all good things have to come to an end. The only part I haven't loved about this is working some weekends onsite. I don't like being away from the family on the weekends!
So... I am going out on my own to do resales! If you have a home to sale, or are in the market to buy, or if you just want general information on your neighborhood... let me know. I am so excited to get to do this now for friends, family, and neighbors. Your referral is most appreciated!!!
I am excited and anxious and super motivated right now. That's the real reason I wrote. To be selfish. To let you know the change I'm about to go through and to ask for prayer as I get started!! I can do that, right?
And for the comments... I want to know your hardest job ever.
And I'll leave it at this. A typical day in the office with Jerri, who hit on my husband before she knew he was my husband.

Bella loves Bandit
She gives him HUGS and KISSES. Mostly hugs, and she pats him on the back while she is hugging him. It is precious.
He may not look like he's enjoying it, but believe me, he does!
