Changes

It's really incredible how much can happen in one little week, the changes that take place, the growth...

This last week Stella had her 2 week appointment. She weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. That's a gain of 8 ounces and 1/4 inch. Not too shabby for 14 days of growth! The day before her 2 week appointment she had a photo shoot which was an absolute blast. A gal who I've known for 4 years now offered to bring her props out and we both got some really cute shots along with me getting to have some grown up chit-chat. It was much appreciated. This is one where we used the doll cradle, from the girls' room, that my great grandpa made and our family has passed down.

The big kids are doing really well with Stella. Rylan's going through a bit of an acting out, crazy boy phase but that started before Stella arrived. Karleigh's been a bit more emotional but really, they're doing quite well all things considered. Having a new baby in the house is a big adjustment for them, it could be going so much worse.

Stella changes every. single. day. This week... she stayed awake for longer periods during the day, met her Uncle David and her great aunt and uncle, started giving us one good 5 hour stretch of sleep at night, successfully took her first pumped bottle, went to her first Daisy Scout meeting, she grew teeny tiny eyelashes...

Just so there's no confusion, all the photos on my blog are mine :) anything that would have been taken by a professional would be watermarked. And thanks for the compliment.
