road trip to WA!

The Memorial Day brunch @ Jerry's...this is what Stella and Gordon tried to eat (oranges) It was so cute, they are 3 days apart, and were both very into these oranges.

Family photos...

Big girl playing with Grandma's toys

Elisha, Maria, me and Stella @ the wedding, which was on the lawn of a beautiful mansion. Great job Maria!

Ryland, Grandpa and Stella @ the wedding

She loved this dolphin, she somehow knows where to kiss things (or bite, not sure)
Stella loves the outdoors, my parents have a beautiful yard and even a fire pit. We had a hot-dog and marshmellow roast (yes cheese-dogs and super huge marshmellows) Stella loved the gravel and bark especially!
The night before the road trip, Stella likes her little scooter!
ok so admittedly this picture was taken about a month before this road trip, but I thought it was a cute travel pic....

Stellas first Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Ava and Stella are pals, I love this pic!

The cutest little Easter Bunny!

Easter family photo...this is after Brent ran from our house to his parents' house...23 miles!

7 months!

Stella does not need The Dew...she has endless energy, and loves pulling herself up on anything!

Some friends dug up their daffodils and I got to plant the bulbs in my flowerbed, which gave us a plethora of flowers. Stella has been eye-balling all the pretty flowers lately, and finally she got to touch them (and of course try to eat them)

The "cocky" stand, look one-arm!!

The most adorable smile

Meal time....messy awesome

Cheese!

6 months!

Stella is the best crawler!

Stella and her boys!

We love this little romper!

She loves daddy's guitar

This is where stella takes the best naps... Brent has learned this well...

She loves feet--She bit her little friend Audrey's sock right off her foot!
Since this is a historical blog, I had to document the big hair change...Stella had no problem recognizing me, I was honestly worried!

She likes REAL food, not particularly green stuff... carrots, squash, sweet potatoes...She wants to hold the spoon though... not so good
Stella's Stats

Weight: 18 lbs. 2 oz. 90%

Height: 26.5 in 90%

Head circ: 17 in 85%

We are proud to see her height and weight balance out... She is a growing girl! Just before her 6 month birthday she crawled!! I love this girl so much, every day is a fun little adventure. She makes everybody smile around her, @ church she is the entertainment if you get the pleasure of sitting behind us. She comes to pilates with me and shows my clients how to move! Being Stella's mom is the most amazing blessing!

Cousin time!! Jana came to visit, megan and ryan are living in Utah temporarily, we just need Elsie!! Stella likes all the commotion!

Stella can scoot backward across the floor, still hasn't figured the forward part out... but sitting up on her own now!!

Stellas first "Peep," she loves sucking on it! Thanks Sara and Garett!

Stella swinging on Lola and Ava's swing-set! As you can tell she is just thrilled...


Stella looks so good in pink, I just couldn't resist....

I dramatically changed my hair color....I thought Stella may not recognize me, but she didn't seem to notice
