Stella!!!!
38 weeks!
Today you have officially been on the outside of my belly as long as you were on the inside. That is pretty darn cool! It’s so hard to remember what life was like without you here. As I write this, I’m watching you crawl all around the living room floor, dumping out your toy box, picking at the blue light on the HD Receiver, standing up with the bar stools, going after the dog’s water bowl… you are everywhere these days, and it is so fun to watch. 🙂
Not happy about being locked out of the pantry!
Fine, I’ll go for the dog bowl!
Playing in the bathtub at bedtime with Daddy.
You love standing up more than anything, and Daddy and I are thinking you might be an early walker. That’s kind of exciting, but more so terrifying to think about. Our baby – walking? Yikes! You already are starting to furniture cruise. Whoa.
I <3 breastfeeding. There is nothing better than having you gaze into my eyes and stroke my face while you nurse. Also, I realized today that I have 270 oz in my freezer stash (I was thinking I had 100), so that is awesome!! Hoping to make it to a full year of breast milk for you!
A perfect Saturday morning in bed together as a family.
We need a gate for the stairs apparently. Eek! Daddy ran over when he saw you on the 2nd step. Darn child!
My friend Nicky (who took my maternity photos 9 months ago!) stopped by yesterday and took a couple picture of us in the backyard. I LOVE how they turned out. You are such a happy baby!!
It’s been a wonderful 38 weeks with you as part of our lives, Stella.
Love,
Momma
