1st week of daycare

Stella started her 1st week of daycare this past Monday, June 23rd. Her teachers are Larizmar (right) and Arlene (left). They said that she a very good girl all week. We think the teachers are starting to bond with little Stella. Larizmar is originally from Venezuela and will eventually teach her some Spanish. 

It was really nice to see Stella recognize her Mom and Dad and greet them with a big smile when picking her up from daycare. Stella has her own crib for those afternoon naps at the daycare center. 

Hand eye coordination improving

Stella began showing more interest in and grabbing for the rings on her bouncy seat. As of June 24th she just started grabbing the rings. She reached and hit and finally grabbed one a couple of times.

June 28 UPDATE: Stella grabbed and held the ring! She pulled it so hard that it started playing music several times.

In addition to grabbing her mobile. She has also started grabbing, guiding, and holding her bottle for a few seconds.

Not too long before she is holding her own bottle!

Stella's 2 month Doctor visit - she's growing.

On Friday, June 20th, Stella had her 2 month Doctor visit. She now weighs 10lbs 14oz and is just over 23 inches  tall. Stella was in a happy mood, talking and smiling to the Doctor until she was given a round of vaccinations. 

With assistance, Stella likes to stand up as you can see in the picture. She has been doing this for the last couple of weeks now. We will hold her arms for support, but Stella is doing all the work. Her Mom and Dad think that she may just start walking before crawling. 

First nap in her crib

Stella took a little nap in the crib while mom cleaned her room. She usually sleeps in her bassinet in mom and dad's bed. Today was the first time she actually fell asleep in her crib.
