Easter Sunday

Brooklyn hunted Easter eggs inside since it was raining outside. She really has the hang of it now. She would shake them to see if they had anything in them. I put some m&ms in there and she would say "open" which is her favorite word these days. I got some pictures of them in their Easter dresses before church. Stella is 6 weeks now and is starting to smile. It makes it all worth it when they smile at you.

Mom's League Easter party

We had our Mom's League Easter party yesterday. It has been a great group for Brooklyn and I to be a part of. We have made some really good friends. This was Brooklyn's first Easter egg hunt. She knew what to do after I told her you put the eggs in the basket. I had Stella in tow via Baby Bjorn. I should have gotten a picture of that. I was lucky to just get ones of the egg hunter.



Brooklyn trying to take Aubrey's basket too!



She found an egg!

Stella's bath time - 4 weeks

This post is a little late but Stella was 4 weeks this past Friday. Stella is doing good. She is starting to go 4 hours between feeds at night. She really likes to be held. She is not as much of a swing girl as Brooklyn was. Brooklyn is loving on her more and more.

On the other hand Brooklyn turned 20 months on the same day and the last couple of days she has been a little toot. We could be starting the terrible 2's. We have to start cracking down.

We have started getting out more and learning how to get around with 2 has been a learning process. I am sure I will get it figured out.

Stella - 2 weeks

Here are pictures of Stella at 2 weeks. She was back up to her birth weight at her 2week appt. She is a good baby so far. She is now starting to sleep at night until the next feed. At first we were waking up every hour or sooner so I have a much more positive outlook when I am getting some sleep.

Stella's nursery

Here are pictures of Stella's nursery. Thanks to Heather and Clint for all of the help on the nursery.

We painted an old ugly dresser and I think it turned out really great!

Any similiarities?

At this point Stella and Brooklyn do not look exactly alike of course but here is a picture that is very similar. Weird!

Stella Louise has arrived!

Stella Louise entered the world at 12:12 pm on Friday, February 27, 2009. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches. It was a lot easier than Brooklyn's birth. No broken collarbone this time! We are all getting adjusted including Brooklyn. She is a good big sister and is very loving to Stella. She likes to be with Mommy though. Here are a few pics!
