Decorating the Tree

Birthday Party

We had a party that night for him, where he got cake and presents. Happiest of birthdays, sweet baby boy.

Happy FIVE YEARS old!

Happy birthday morning! He found a present waiting for him when he woke up.

Stella was unimpressed.

Happy Six Months!

I yam what I yam.

Look who can sit up

Look at those lashes:

Teefies!

Look who's got her two bottom teefies!

Happy Five Months!

Stella on her five month birthday. She'd had the MRI the day before and wasn't 100% herself. You can see, though, that she's working on sitting herself up.


She rallied when held by her big brother.


Alec: "Your daddy is crazy."
Stella: "Tell me something I don't know."


"No, we weren't talking about you..."


This is the look of a big brother.

First Cereal

She's took to cereal like a champ. At first it was hard to get it in her mouth because of all the toes already in there. (Can you eat while also sucking on your toes? It's impressive multitasking.) So then I put the cereal on her toes and she expressed tons of interest. And now she can't get enough.






I win at cereal!

Stella at Four Months Old

These happy four months have flown by! At her four month check up, Stella weighed 16 lbs 12 ounces and was 26 inches long. She smiles, she giggles, and she has rolled over twice. She is a lousy sleeper but she is happy, mellow, and a complete joy. If I have to be awake at 3am, it's her face I want to see.



Mouse problem

Are you ready for some football?

Not sure if it's the flashing lights and color or watching the men in tights, but Stella likes football.
