ONE!!!!!!!!

So I just can't believe that I have a one year old child! I also can not believe that only one year ago Miss Stella pretty much slept all day and did wanted nothing more than to be held all day! Fast forward 365 days she is still a pretty good sleeper but I do miss those hours of cuddle time! :(

So we has Stella's 1st birthday party on Saturday and everything went wonderful! With 16 people in our little house it felt pretty crowded; however everyone had a good time and enjoyed watching Stella's reaction to new things such as the fun of opening presents and of course the sweet sugary taste of cake and frosting! Here are a few pictures of the day!

Almost ONE!

So wow it has been a long time since I posted! So much has happened, but at the same time is has been same old same old! Stella is still finishing up swimming lessons, which she is loving however I will keep the mental note that next swimming lessons we are going to take in the summer! The John Adams pool area is not anywhere near being heated and I swear EVERY Friday after swim lessons Stella ends up with a cold!

Let's see what else has been going on?........ Well Stella has been growing of course but I think she is starting to grow up a little too fast! There are two kids that are a little over a year older then Stella and I think that she is picking up habits good and bad from the two of them! We have definite "daddy", "mommy", "elmo", & of course "NO" for words so far. But it is so fun when she picks up a book and brings it over to me sits on my lap and actually wants me to read to her! Anyway here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks, and I am sure that after our birthday party next week I will have a ton more!
