Pictures of the day :)

So here she is after her long ole nap!One sock, crazy outfit and hanging with her favorite pals, Amelda (from our friends in Australia) and Groovy Giraffe (from our friends in Ireland). She loves them so.

Better Blogger...

I have decided that I am going to be a better blogger! I love reading other blogs and I realize that I don't blog as much as I should or actually want to. I am always afraid that it won't be interesting or that I am not good at expressing myself through writing. I always say that I am better at expressing myself verbally, which is why I don't give cards very often (sorry people who like to give and receive cards). Well, I am over excuses and I really want to have a record of all of the amazing things my Stella does, so I shall blog. I am challenging myself to post everyday and post a picture as well. Let's see how I do!

We took Stella to a music class this morning, that Morgan's friend Josh from work's wife runs. It was so fun! It was during Stella's nap time so I had super low expectations, but she did OK. She didn't smile, but she didn't cry so to me that is a success! There were babies ranging from 2 months old to 15 months old. Morgan and I were both a little out of our comfort zone at first, but by the end of it we were both singing loudly and dancing freely :) No pictures, unfortunately! We really want to make it a regular thing we do, it was nice to focus on our little girl outside of our house and around other babies! I know I said I would post pics everyday, but it will have to wait until little miss sunshine wakes from her thus far 3 hour nap! I think the class took it out of her. It's not easy being a social butterfly :)

Smiles

These days Stella is all smiles. If she is fed and well rested she is the most content baby. She can sit in one spot and be entertained by virtually anything. She loves her mobile in her crib and will lay on her big blanket in the middle of the floor for long periods of time. She is easily impressed and lovvvves kisses from her daddy. He will say "i want kisses" and she opens her mouth and prepares. It's pretty cute! If she has a good nap she will wake up with a smile on her face and that smile will continue until she is hungry or ready to go back down for a nap. We are enjoying our girl so much and both of us can't believe how obsessed and in love with her we are.

3 months!

Our Stella Kate is 3 months old and I am just smitten with her. She is seriously the best little girl in the world. She is perfect! She is starting to laugh and trying to communicate with us. We sing, dance and talk to her and will do just about anything to make her laugh. When she isn't sleeping or eating, she is smiling! I want to take this time, put it in a bottle and keep it forever. My only wish is that she would sleep through the night in her crib and not need to be pushed vigorously in her swing!
