Fun Pictures

I thought I should update on Stella with some fun pictures :) I've been trying to make a better effort of actually "dressing" her up - not just putting her in a sleeper or some goofy outfit that I cook up. I bought her some summer dresses from Carter's, and they seem to be perfect. She often gets uncomfortable or hot in more stuffy things, so these work out well. It's already summer weather here - in the 80s and nearly 90 on a couple days! Anyway, here's our girl. We weighed her the other day, and she was almost 11 lbs. She was 10lbs 14 oz. I imagine if we weighed her today, she'd be right at 11. She's such a chunk! 



She has a knack for getting pissed every time I try to take a picture of her... 


Rotten! 


She has a renewed interest in the swing. I changed the direction on it, and it seems to make her happy again. Thank goodness. That "I hate my swing" phase was hard! I couldn't put her anywhere! 


We got her all dolled up to go visit our friends Kerry and Chris in Savannah. She had never really been out like that, and it was her longest time away from home. She did okay, but definitely got fussy. I felt so bad that I spent most of our time there trying to console her, and Kerry and Chris barely got to hold her! :( 


My favorite :) She makes the funniest faces at me, and I seem to make her laugh and smile a lot. 


Here you can get an idea for how long she is... she's a doozy! I can't believe how big she is. She was so teeny when we brought her home. Now, she sprawls across me when I feed her. I'm always joking that she's my toddler sized infant... haha 


She's always fascinated by Derek. I think his beard and tattoos make him really interesting! 


They like to hang out together :) 

Anyway, we're working on the headbands thing. I'm not pushing hats with her because it's so hot here. She'd probably melt if I put a hat on her right now. She gets hot really easily, and I'm often cold and she'll be warm. I think she gets that from Derek since he's very hot natured. She's still hating her car seat. She screamed pretty much the entire drive to Kerry and Chris's house last night... weew. Not a pleasant car ride. We stopped midway to try and console her. 

Oh, and she officially ruined another onesie yesterday. We didn't get a picture, but man oh man... what a blow out! I'm sure she's going to hate me for sharing all of this someday :) 


Well, there's a quick update on our adorable girl :) I just love her!
