Stella is FIVE Months Old!!

Five Months? Yes. It's true. I can't believe it either!


Stella is just a sweetheart. Her disposition is just very, well... sweet! She has some fiest in her but not like her big brother (Whew!... just kidding). Even at this young an age, I knew he was going to have attitude! Stella is finally sleeping in her bed for part of the night. That is making a HUGE difference in our household. I feel so much more rested. More Rest = More Patience... and who doesn't need more patience? She has been sleeping for about 6-7 hours in a row. Sometimes we have to give her the pacifier a few times but she's doing really well with the sleep. She can get her pacifier in her mouth by herself sometimes. She is rolling over and squealing and squawking. She started sitting in her jumperoo but she doesn't know how to jump yet. That's ok because she has a personal assistant who makes the jumperoo bounce for her!


I haven't given Stella any solid food yet. I started feeding Lennox at 4 months but the boy was H-U-N-G-R-Y! This girl is just starting to take notice of us eating dinner. I think I will wait a little longer to introduce the solids. She doesn't seem to be ready yet.


Stella loves her brother. LOVES him. She practically breaks her neck to see what he's doing. She will even ignore me in order to see him. That says alot because she LOVES me too! I'm the milk truck. Loving Daddy? Ummm, not so much. LOL. I know that sounds mean but she usually cries when he holds her. By usually I mean always! No worries though because she will love him soon enough.


My baby girl can still fit into 3 month sleepers! Crazy! I really hope she gets to wear her cute clothes. I am going to learn how to make bows today. We had to go to church TWICE without a bow. Yes, I am serious. No bow. The horror!!! She likes her baths and outside. She is a snuggle bug. She has rolls all over and she is super ticklish. All you have to do is touch her ribs and it takes her breath away! She loves her crunchy toys. The ones that have crunchy tissue paper in them.

Stella's hair is kind of wacky. She has rubbed off most of it in the back but she still has a thick, dark patch at her neck. The original hair on top of her head is kind of reddish brown and the new peach fuzz that is growing in is white! She's like a calico cat. :) Her eyes are still crystal blue. I hope they stay that way.
