It's a Wonderful Life

Merry Christmas! Stella Scout enjoyed a fabulous first Christmas. It was incredible fun for us to watch Stella marvel at all the lights and festivities and even more fun to see her grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins soak up our little sprite.

Stella now vigorously puts everything, and we do mean everything, in her mouth.

Check out Stella's stylie new duds. She's becoming quite the fashionista.

Here Stella prepares for the Santa's Elves Convention 2007.

It was a year ago this Christmas that we shared the news with our families that we were expecting. It blows our minds that Stella is now here and such an amazing part of all our lives.

Right before Christmas, Stella was lucky enough to meet her Great Uncle Ed.

Hangin' with the big girls.

Stella and the Big Guy

Stella got all dolled up yesterday to visit Santa. She coped quite well with all the hullabaloo and asked for world peace, a new ozone layer and a teething ring.

Toes Rock!

Stella has suddenly discovered her toes and is completely enthralled. She grew particularly ambitious in the picture above, trying to fit both her foot and hand in her mouth simultaneously. Ah, that's our delicate little flower.

She's also training for competitive raspberry blowing. What a total goofball.

The Apple Don't Fall Far

Stella Scout loves reading already. She spent thirty minutes looking at this book this morning and became quite sassy when I tried to move her! (Check out the drool in the third picture. Such focus!)
