6 weeks

I am amazed at how fast time flies. I can hardly believe our little girl is getting so big. Stella is doing so well she is smiling more. She smiles when she wakes up & she smiles when we sing to her. She loves "this little piggie went to market" rhyme she smiles at the "this little piggie had roast beef" line. She did start getting baby pimples (millia) last week but she's still as cute as ever. The one thing that is truly funny about Stella is that she has really bad gas. She farts like a man. So if you are ever in close proximity with the little princess just get ready.
I'm (jenae) officially getting back into the groove of things at work. So I have some sweet friends who are watching her. It was definitely hard to leave her ,but she is getting to hang out with some amazing and fun people who already love her. I am truly blessed to have and be a part of such a great community that rises to meet needs.
As always keep us in your prayers as we raise this little person into who God has intended her to be. And pray that we continue to do right by her.

Stella's first real bath in the sink.. We tried one other time and that didn't work out too well. (she screamed her head off). So we have been doing the sponge bath thing. But we finally worked up the courage to try it again in the sink. She did so well she didn't cry at all-- in fact I think she liked it.
