On the Road Again...
On my way to the land of spoiled rotten.
Yep, going to see the Grandparents.
Here is how the ride will go...
Pretty content with the riding situation.
I'm watching Nemo and about to
drink my bottle.
Secretly wondering how far it is to McDonalds.
10 minutes later...
Still zoned in on the movie. But in
the back of my mind there is
this little voice chanting,
"french fries, french fries, I want french fries"
5 minutes later...
I begin to stare off into the distance looking
for any sign of the golden arches.
3 minutes later...
Losing hope...
How much further could it possibly be?
2 minutes later...
Outraged. This is America!
Isn't there suppose to be atleast 3
McDonalds per square mile?
1 minute later...
All hope is lost. Resigned to the fact that
I won't be seeing Ronald anytime soon.
30 seconds later...
What?
Did you say McDonalds?
What a fabulous idea!
I am so glad you thought of it.

Bellabug's Dictionary...
Do you speak Bellabug? If not, it's time for a lesson.
I have added many words to my vocabulary and invented
some as well. Here are a few you need to know
in order to communicate with me.
hello(formally pronounced: "eh whoa" or slang version: "oh")
- means phone, cellphone or anything else you can hold
up to your ear and say "eh whoa" into.
(i.e. french fry, spoon, toothbrush)
that (pronounced "dat")
-as in what is dat I am pointing at? ...and dat? and dat?
I can go on all day pointing at things so you
can tell me what they are. I am very nosy.
meow (pronounced "mow" - rhymes with "how")
- this term can mean many things... for example:
a cat, a cat's meow, any animal that resembles a cat,
any animal that does not resemble a cat
uh oh (traditional pronunciation)
- I have just dropped something on purpose and want you
to pick it up so that I can drop it again.
I like to repeat this process atleast 47 times.
Anything less is simply unacceptable.
Other words I can say in some form
of my own making...
mama - dada - ball - cat - dog
pop - juice - hi - bye-bye - shoe
nana - duck - book - baba (bottle)

FAQ...
Believe it or not, I get my fair share of email.
Mostly from family and friends, but I am getting
more and more each day from complete strangers too.
Most of the questions are about my pictures.
Instead of trying to reply to each email,
I will post some of them here...
What camera does your mommy use
to take your pictures?
to take your pictures?
Up until mid July, all pics were taken
with a Nikon Coolpix 200. Now all
of my pics are taken with a
Canon S2 IS Powershot.
Does your Mommy edit your pictures?
Yes, of course Mommy edits my pictures.
Most of the time I am running around like a
hyperactive monkey. So the pictures turn
out pretty wonky until she crops, sharpens
and resizes them.
How does your Mommy get your
black & white pics to look crisp and
contrasted instead of monochromatic gray?
Well, I surely have no idea.
I'm not even allowed to touch the camera.
But I asked her and she said that they
frequently look mono/gray until she
sharpens, lightens/darkens and adds
contrast with her editing software.
If you are a novice to photography
(like Mommy) a good editor can work
miracles. She uses the Nikon editing
software that came with her first camera.
How does your Mommy add borders
to your pictures?
This is a feature that came with Xanga,
but is probably offered by most
blog/photo hosting sites.
Does your Mommy really take
pictures of you everyday?
How does she have the time to do that?
Almost everyday.
You see, we usually sit around eating bonbons
on the days I'm not slaving away posing for pictures.
We have plenty of time to kill. We just tie a dust rag
around the cat's tails and then I chase and terrorize
them until the floors sparkle.
Shouldn't I be getting an allowance for this?
But Seriously...
We are so flattered to receive such complements
and questions about the website and the pictures
featured here. Please feel free to continue
emailing me... especially if you are
sending complements...

Are You Ready For Some Football?
Yesterday was opening day for
the KC Chiefs...
Daddy said I need to learn
"how we do Sunday football up in here"
I learned that we always
cheer for the Chiefs in this house...
Because Daddy says so...
But sometimes we get
frustrated with the team too...
And there is something called,
"half time" which really just means
it's time to EAT...
But in the end
I learned the hardest
lesson of all...
The agony of defeat.
After much thought and deliberation,
I decided to join my Daddy in
becoming a Chiefs fan...
But only because there isn't
a Pink team in the NFL.

Reigning champ...

Bella Claims Her Throne...
Okay. I've had a lot of fun playing on
the floor this past year...
But I am SO over it...
I just had to see what life is like up there...
Where the big people sit...
Of course, this idea made Mommy
very nervous...
But to her dismay, I finally made it...
I claimed my throne...
over and over again...
throwing caution to the wind...
approximately 327 times...
Mommy managed to remain calm
and somewhat sane...
But there's always tomorrow.
