Here is Stella showing off one of the skills mentioned in the previous post. This skill makes mom & dad very happy!
We can't really believe it, but Stella was four months old yesterday! Here she is in her pretty dress. This month she has perfected a lot of skills including smiling, rolling from her back to belly, making a "ggg" sound, and pushing up while on her belly. She is starting to help hold her bottle and grabs at her toys. She also likes to suck on her fingers to soothe herself. She's very vocal and likes it when you respond to her. She eats 4-5 oz. per feeding and sleeps sometimes for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch. She prefers to sleep on her belly, which we let her do for naps. She finished her first month of school and her teachers all think she is pretty special. She's getting a lot better at not being held all the time, but still likes to cuddle. Her hair is long enough now that we don't get the mohawk much anymore, but she is still cute. She thinks her big sister is pretty great. They like to play together on the floor and Jordan gets so excited when Stella learns something new. We go for a doctor's visit in a few weeks so I'll get you the stats then.
Get their pictures made with a clown...
Get Hello Kitty painted on her face...
Hang out with the "Danger Ranger" cat (whatever that is?!)...
Eat blue snow cones...
and ride a pony for the first time!
Stella was content to suck on her binkie.
I'm a little late on putting up this post, but Stella was 3 months old last Friday (9/7). This photo was taken while she celebrated with a nap on the beach. Her skills include smiling really well, reaching for toys and people, making "goo" sounds, talking back & forth with you, and taking out (and occassionally) putting her pacifier back in. She's a happy baby who seems to really love people. She still loves to be held and is definitely a mama's girl. That's ok by me. :)
Stella successfully completed her first week of school (aka Mom's first week back to work). She charmed her teachers and even managed to do miraculous feats like take naps in her crib. Here is a picture of her on her first morning.
