why I love Stella
Stella... what can i say
Saturday, February 09, 2008
Stella is... well Stella.
She has developed this laugh like a 90year old smoker. I'll have to post a video so you can see what I mean. When she laughs we call her Stella Weinbrenner (say it with a thick NY accent). Of course we developed a back story-We say she is an old lady from the Bronx sitting in front of her building smoking and laughing and heckling the people walking by.
Really, she is so much fun. When she wakes up in the morning she is smiling and you can tell she is happy just to be her.
I'm glad she's here.
She refuses to crawl. She won't even try. She'd rather stand and pretend to walk. I asked the doctor if this was okay and he said some kids march to the beat of their own drum. I love that.. She is most definitely an individual. She is a very active baby,keeping us on our toes. She is just to quick. I thought i'd have a while till I had to baby proof --no such luck. She is also very loud. She loves to chat and almost comes undone if I don't put the cell phone to her ear if someone calls. We better put money away for a cell phone plan. It's so funny to watch her because she looks at you as if you can totally understand her.
Doug and I are doing good too. We still love our house --it's been a year since we moved in. Doug is still in school and doing well. It really is keeping him very busy. I've been shooting a lot more and staying very busy at the church. I love the people I get to work with - I feel so blessed to be with such fun and talented folk.
Well that's our update... chat soon

Stella's favorite place to be. Stella loves falling asleep nudged right next to her Daddy.
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.
1st 'real" bath 5 wks
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.
One Month down..a lifetime to go
Friday, August 24, 2007
I can hardly believe that one month has already passed since we first met Stella. I'm finding it hard to think we ever lived without her. She is growing and changing it seems like every second.
Stella already has her own personality--her Dad calls her an "All or Nothing" type of girl. She definitely moves to the beat of her own drummer.
Stella has been lifting her head and rolling over (she has been doing this since she was born--the Doctor didn't believe either until she did it in the office). We have to watch her she's moving way to fast for me. She started to be pretty fussy this week. We gave her gripe water and life seems better for everyone. She loves to look around and she LOVES music. Whenever music is playing she stops and listens.
We love our little person and we are enjoying re-discovering the world right along with her.
Mema and Stella
Wednesday, August 22, 2007
My Mom was able to come and stay with us for two weeks when Stella was born. Stella just loved hanging out with her Mema (that's what we're calling her until Stella comes up with something else) .
I think they even had their own special language. When Stella was fussy Mema would take her and hold her and she would settle down. it was so good to have my Mom come to visit --she helped out so much!!

It is so wild to see my belly...I can hardly believe Stella was in there.

We are going to change my Dad's name to the baby whisperer. He can calm a crying baby in no time flat!! He and Stella had a great time hanging out.
