15 weeks in pictures

As of July 30th, Stella is 15 weeks old. At her doctor visit last week she weighed 11lbs 15oz.

She is measuring just under 24" tall. She didn't seem to like being measured in this picture.

Dad got a kiddie pool for her and she spent some time in that this past weekend.

It's hard to tell from this picture but Stella just did a partial roll-over from her tummy. Not too long until she is rolling all the way over on her own!

Little buddy fighting a cold but still smiling - weight update

Little buddy still smiling despite being sick. 7/24/14 - we ended up taking Stella to the doctor for wheezing, coughing and congestion issues that have been going on for a couple days. This would be her first trip to the doctor for a cold. Doc said Stella has a double ear infection and prescribed her amoxicillin. Still able to smile though!

While at the doctor's office she was weighed at 11lbs 15oz

Stella now 3 months

We took Stella’s 3 month pictures today. She had plenty of smiles for the camera.

Stella was kind of falling over, but we liked this because of her cute smile.

Another great smile. She looks like she has a little mohawk going. Below is a look back at her 2 month and 1st month pictures.

Stella meets more of her family for the 1st time

We took a weekend trip to Cincinnati to meet up with Joe’s family. This picture was taken at Sharon Woods Park, where we enjoyed the day and beautiful weather. There was also a Civil War reenactment going on and live music throughout the day. Pictured from top left: Uncle Jason, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Jessica, Uncle Jim. Bottom from left to right: Joe, Grandma with Stella, Colby, Aunt Jen and Aunt Tricia.

Weekend of firsts...the pool

This weekend Stella went to Cincinnati, OH to meet her Aunt Jessica and Uncle Andrew, Uncle Jim and Aunt Trish, and Uncle Jason for the first time. (Pictures to come!)

One big first during the trip was her first time in a swimming pool. 

At the hotel, there was a nice indoor kiddie pool that wasn't too deep and dad could sit with Stella in. 

She seemed to enjoy looking at the water  and was very calm.

Stella is growing up quick! Here are a few of the more recent pictures out of the many, many, many that we have taken.

Mom's first day back to work

July 7th was Colby's first day back to work. Stella spent a full day at daycare starting at 7:30am. 

That meant getting up extra early to get going. There was still time for a nap before starting the day - at least for Stella!
