Bella has more bikes than any kid I know. She has a Big Wheel, a tricycle, a motorized bike, a scooter, and a few other random bike variations. We have not purchased any of these for her - they are all hand-me-downs from people at church. Some days I will go outside to find another 'new' bike out there. Up until recently, riding bikes meant lots of work for us by pushing her around the parking lot. Over the past couple of weeks, Bella has finally figured out how to work the pedals! She is so proud of this accomplishment (and so are we)!
The big tree in our yard prematurely loses its leaves. It was time to clean up the yard a little and we knew that Bella would have fun playing in the leaves (she did).
In all her fun, she managed to get a few down her shirt.
Rainy days can be great when you have the right outfit to wear!
We took some friends to the zoo today. All week, the weather was comfortable (70s-80s). Today we were back in the 90s. Not the best zoo weather, but we still had a good time (especially in the air-conditioned exhibits). 
Bella and her friend Katelyn. They were so cute holding hands together. It's so funny for me to see Bella next to a younger child - makes me realize how big she has gotten!
Bella was in the picture-taking mood today! Gotta take advantage of those rare moments!
Daddy had to hold Bella up to see some of the animals. She loved it!
Shortly after visiting the penguins, Bella was asleep. That was pretty much the end of her zoo activities. 
This upcoming week will be a big one for Bella. It's going to be her first 'school' experience. I enrolled her in a co-op program. Every Tuesday morning, we'll go to school. The moms attend with the kids and we each take turns teaching the lessons. There will be opening time, crafts, planned activity, snack, etc. - just like any preschool; only I get to be with her. I think she's going to enjoy this.
Bella was eating goldfish crackers the other day. After eating a few, she brought one over to me and put it on my belly saying, "That's for Jellybean." Already sharing!
