Stella's First Birthday Party

We threw a little party for Stella for her first birthday. She loved her big chair, just like her brothers. She loved opening presents. She loved eating Mac N' Cheese. But when it came to her cake, she thought gagging on it was appropriate! Oh well, she had fun playing with it! Happy Birthday Stelly Belly!!!

Stella is 1 Year!

How is our sweet little baby already a year old? Anyone else feel like it flies by with your second?

Stella at 1 year weighs in at 24 lbs, 10 oz (98%), her head circumference is 19 inches (97%), and her length is 30.5 inches (90%). What can we say? She loves to eat!!!

Stella is in the process of getting four new teeth in. She is still our little sweetie pie, but just a bit whinier. We sure do hope those teeth come in quick!

Stella is now fully weaned to a cup and whole milk. She has recently decided she doesn't care so much for pureed foods and would rather eat what we are eating. She especially likes meat - weird, since that is what most babies have a hard time with.

Stella is now crawling all over and pulling herself up onto everything. But still no walking and she pretty much stays away from the stairs as well.

She loves to play with Logan. She loves to chase after Rocco and squeal at him. She loves to go crazy with splashing in the bathtub.  She loves to take stuff out of things and then put it back in (ie. taking all her brother's cars out of the storage box and then putting them all back in).

She is still quite the sassy pants and yells at us if anything displeases her! It is quite different than having a boy!

Here are a few photos from the past month...

Playing with toys and then falling back asleep...

 One of her favorite things to do now...feed us food!

 Oh yes, eating Mac N' Cheese is her favorite...

 Snacks to keep her occupied so I can take a shower...

 She finally learned to drink from a straw!

 Taking stuff out of my friend's diaper bag...

 Eating Mac N' Cheese again!

We just love you Stella and can't get enough of you! Happy 1st Birthday!!!
