Fine.

O.K. Sooooo, back in the day when I had a "baby" I could take her picture all day long, and they would all be perfect. NOW......she comes running after me, and more then 1/2 of the pictures I take have her reaching up for the camera!! So....Enjoy!! 

Where's Maggie.....

 

WOW.

Before, and After......1 year.
 

Happy Birthday Chuck.

Hope you had a great day!! Thanks for babysitting Blu!! 

Working

My Mom put me right to work after Christmas. She said I had to pay the bills!! Hey Uncle Mikey.....can I be your secretary??? I can email you my resume!! Good thing I had a milk break....I like time for snacks and stuff just like my Mommy!

 

Stella Blu.

Stella's second Christmas eve. She is getting to be a pro at opening gifts....

 

Stella and Mac

They thought presents were cool....Santa brought them both new cell phones!! Now they will be on the phone constantly! We have 2 Christmas's to go.....I sure hope Santa is getting us a bigger house for all of Stella's new stuff!!


 

Merry Christmas....

from our table to yours......
 

ATTENTION BARB HABERMAN...

Just for fun!!! Brings back some good ol' memories!! I wore this sweatshirt you made me so much, that the armpit now consists of a big hole!!! Stella thinks it is way too cute and loves wearing it....nice and worn in, very comfy!!
 

Stella.

Priceless..... 

Huh.

I don't think I have ever seen Stella make this face....I think she is daydreaming about Christmas!!! 

Stella and Mac

What a lucky day. We got to have a playdate with Mac and Tanya. The girls were both shy at first, then they warmed up to each other and had a great time. Mac tried to take a nap, but Stella went in and woke her up!! 

Gramps is Back!

Gramps made it in record time....he left MN Thursday at noon, and rolled into Scottsdale at 9:30 pm Friday!! We are all very excited to have him here....my Mom was missing him like crazy!! We are sure to have a fun filled winter!! Welcome Back Dad!!!! 

Lunch

Since Stella is one...she gets a big girl lunch. She has on her tray, cheese, crackers, and a hotdog...and cold whole milk in her sippycup!! YUMMY!!!
 

1 year checkup!

Stella went to see Dr. Patel yesterday. She is 30 inches long, and weighs a nice 22.4 pounds! Dr. Patel was very happy to report that we have a very very healthy baby! Stella gets to drink whole milk instead of formula, and has the go ahead to eat everything in small bite size pieces except for shellfish and peanut butter! Stella liked seeing Dr. Patel....until she brought out the needles...Blu had to get 3 shots....she wasn't happy.....

 

Girl on the Go...

Stella took her very first ride in her "Radio Flyer" wagon...she loved it, and made use of her ride time by making a few phone calls! I am sure she was yacking away to Mac and Nicollette!! 

Friends

Maggie and Stella have become great friends. They even shared a nap together....kidding!! We only put Maggie in the crib for the picture!!
