Getting into the Christmas Spirit:)


Stella has been having a lot of fun helping me decorate for Christmas this year:)

This weekend, we will work on the tree!



*12 weeks*


Stella turned 12 weeks old yesterday & I'm a day late posting this pic.

Oops.

Anyhow, here's the little one at 84 days;-)

::extreme close-up::

If you know Rob at all, this picture is concrete evidence that our baby girl truly does have her Daddy's eyes:)

Stella & LuLu


I know that a lot of people were worried about how Stella would adjust to living with 2 dogs...but I think this photo speaks for itself.

Quite seriously...she owns those beagles!

'Tis the Season!

Today is the 25th of November, which makes us only 1 month away from Stella's 1st Christmas!

To celebrate, I dressed her in red velvet & took her picture:)


Shortly after these photos were taken, she dribbled spit-up all down the front of her dress.

It was on her all of 5 minutes.

LOL

Tutu Thursday


Stella turned 10 weeks old today & I decided to take this silly photo of her.

Someday she will either love me or hate me for it.

LOL

Height/Weight Update


So Rob & I took Stella to her 2-month pediatrician's appointment last week & guess what?

She has grown s'more:)

She is up to 11 pounds & 23 1/2 inches!!

She also got her first round of immunizations & she and I BOTH cried.

I think I cried more though.

Poor baby...

I just couldn't take her lying there, all sweet & chipper...not knowing what was about to happen...and then BOOM.

Those evil nurses. LOL

9 1/2 weeks


She's really starting to look like her Dad, I think:)


P.S. It's official. I'm OBSESSED with baby hats;-)

Pumping Pays Off;-)


Stella is nearly 2 months old now & so we finally decided to try giving her expressed breast milk from a bottle. She was a bit apprehensive at first...but she ended up taking to it like the little champ that she is!

Here is a photo from the first time that her Daddy got to feed her:)

just Stella:)



Stella's 1st Party!


The 1st party we got to take Stella to was a Halloween one at Mark & Dawn's. She got to meet their little boy, Luke, for the first time. They didn't seem all that interested in each other just yet...but I imagine that they'll be buddies before long;-)




*Happy Halloween*


I know that I'm a little late with my Halloween wishes...but alas...'tis the life of a new mom........always running just a wee bit behind;-)

Stella was too little to fit into any of the costumes that I found for her & so she spent much of her 1st Halloween in her holiday-inspired onesies. She looked super cute in them though...I must admit. Orange is a good color for her!



Stella's 1st Family Meal:)


Stella enjoys people so much. Its so wonderful to see her smiling & reacting to everyone who is so excited to be around her:)

Stella @ 1 month:)


Stella turned 1 month old this past Saturday & I decided that I would like to take photos of her on the 11th of every month until she turns 1...so that we can see how much she changes month to month!

I wonder how old she'll be when she finally gets some hair on that head of hers;-)

Rob & I take her back to the pediatrician for her 1-month visit tomorrow & we are super anxious to see how much weight she's gained! She eats like a champ...so I'm sure it'll be quite a bit. She's actually been in the midst of a growth spurt these past few days, I think...because alllll she's wanted to do is E-A-T.

Family Time


Stella & I drove out to Ardmore to visit with the family last Thursday. That was the day she turned 3 weeks old:)

Here are a couple of shots from that day...




Stella & her swing


Stella just discovered the magical spinning mobile on her cradle swing & she really seems to enjoy it:)
