So Stella had her 3 month pictures taken today and she did awesome! I made the appointment for the early afternoon as she has her happiest times in the morning! Anyway the photographer was great (maybe not as good as you Kim :) ) and she captured Stella at the perfect moments. As soon as they are available online I will get some posted!
I also decided today that when you give birth you should also grow a third arm so you can actually handle everything you need to juggle! :)

Back to Work.
Well I am back to work, thus the reason that it has been a while since my last post! To answer the question on every ones mind, "it is OK, but I miss my time with Stella." :( Of course my first week back to work Ryan had to go to China for IBM too! Luckily my mother is absolutely wonderful and was willing to come down and stay the week with me. I have made the conclusion that mothers are sometimes more helpful than husbands (sorry Ryan) ! I guess it is mainly because they know how amazing it is to have someone just bring you the baby so you can feed them and not have to get out of bed! The other nice thing was that my mom would bring Stella in for lunch dates so I could ween myself from seeing her during the day! I guess being away from her makes me really appreciate the little time I have with her at night and in the morning, even if she decides that my day is going to begin at 5:00 AM! With Ryan gone and a few nights my mom had to leave for a few hours also really made me appreciate having someone else around and give props to all those single mothers that handle kids alone every day!
Has anyone put their kids in swim classes at the Y or anywhere else and if you have how old were they when they started?
Also just a side bar; I am STILL looking for daycare! It seems like everyone good is full or we don't make the cut when they have so many infants to choose from! At this point I don't care if I have to drive across town as long as they are good! So if any one hears of anyone or has any other referrals I would much appreciate them!

Back from down South!
So Stella and I made it back from our Florida trip on Sunday and I have to say I really should have turned around in Southern Tennessee! Of course my husband was as happy as could be to see all this snow, but it was so nice to be able to take Stella outside for a walk without having to bundle her up!
Our trip wast amazing, but most importantly Stella was amazing the whole trip! We left Thursday the 22nd (Stella's 2 month birthday!) and I was very nervous about the airplane trip. A) I know how easily my ears pop and I have a some control over it and B) I didn't want to have the crying child the whole three hour flight! Well Stella had absolutely no problems with her ears (not that she let us know anyways) and I should have remembered that we were on a flight to the "Happiest place on earth" and between the two year old that wanted nothing to do with sitting the entire flight to the kid hopped up on sugar and ready to go to Disney World as soon as they got off the plane, Stella was probably one of the most well behaved kids on the plane! She LOVED just watching all the people!
Once we were down in Florida it really truly was a vacation for me also because Stella had lots of open arms to go to. Like I said before it was so nice to be able to go outside with Stella and not have to bundle her up so much, but I think most importantly Stella enjoyed finding her toes! We had a counter top with a mirror on the back at our condo and Stella's favorite game was to sit and look at the other baby in the mirror and sometimes her head would drop and she would find her toes wiggling below her! She also has become a big "talker" and squealer! While dealing put smile left and right Stella always had a "story" to go with the smile!
I know that everyone has their cute story that they label as the cutest story ever, but while we were staying in Effignton, Il mine happened! I was just finishing up my shower and my mom was entertaining the baby. From inside the bathroom I could hear my mom talking to Stella, and Stella would respond with the cutest squeal/laugh like response! I can't wait for the actual baby giggles, I think that I will record that sound and bring it to work and play it when I am having a hard day!
Anyway Stella is letting me know that I have spent too much time blogging right now, so pictures will come a little bit later! P.S. I have typed this entire blog with only one hand so if there are a few mis-types I apologize! :)
