In some ways it seems as though Stella has been with us for longer than a month, because you quickly forget what life was like without her, but on the other hand, it's hard to believe her first month with us has flown by so quickly. I need to find a way to freeze time right now and keep my kids little :) Stella's been starting to have more and more alert moments and her little personality is already starting to emerge; she's a little more high maintenance than her brother was as a newborn, Jack was more of a grunter, whereas Stella is a screamer......she can go from peaceful to very unhappy baby in a matter of a minute, but luckily it's only when she's "starving" or has a poopy pants, which I can't really say I blame her. We don't know what Stella weighs, but as you can tell by the pictures she's growing bigger.........she's finally filling out her newborn size outfits nicely! Jack is still doing well in his roll as big brother, there have been a few things he's been trying to do for attention, you know like crawling into the baby swing, coloring on the kitchen table & my favorite spitting on things.....all lovely I know.....but overall he's been a really good big brother so far and is doing well sharing the love & we're very proud of him. Lastly, Dennis &I are doing well too settling into our roll as parents of two kids, there's definitely not much down time but I wouldn't trade it for anything.....okay maybe there are a few moments when both kids are crying, have poopy diapers and need my attention and I haven't even had a moment to drink my morning coffee, but I suppose that comes with the territory and I'm just trying to appreciate every minute of this precious time when my kids need so much of my attention :)

Stella is 1 Month Old
