One Month!

Well, my sweet Stella Ross is a month old today. Wow, so much has happened in the last month, and I have hardly left the house!! What a great month it has been. Stella Ross has changed so much, but she is still the sweet little baby girl we brought home on Christmas Day. She is SO laid back and usually sleeps through anything. This is a definite plus when you have a WILD big brother like Rafe. Some things I want to remember about this past month are:

• she eats every 3 hours, but will go around 4 1/2 - 5 hours at night!!
• she went from 7 lbs. 13 oz at birth to 10 lbs. at her month check-up!
• her favorite thing to look at is the ceiling fan in the den. It is the funniest thing. She can be crying hysterically and get one look at that fan and instantly start "talking" to it. I hope this continues to work
• she started smiling at 3 weeks and each day seems to smile more and more. It is the CUTEST thing.
• she LOVES her big brother. She watches EVERYTHING Rafe is doing and smiles at him a lot
• loves to get on her play mat and "talk" to the mirror or her animals
• still has all of her hair!! We are wondering when that "Stella spike" is going to calm down! We love it though, and cannot imagine what she would look like without it.

such a sweet picture
