Photos: Thanksgiving in Andes

We had a great time in Andes for Thanksgiving, with the biggest crowd yet for dinner (12!). Thanks mostly to Aunt Kylle - who is so gorgeous pregnant, by the way - we have lots of great photos from the weekend.

Our new home

We've been in the new house since Friday and LOVE it! Stella and the cats seem to approve as well. I'll post more pictures once it's less of a disaster zone, but here's one I took on my phone on moving day and another Rob took from the street last month. Can't wait to see the Dogwoods bloom in the spring!

Them are some strong genes!

Stella and I went to have BLTs with my Grandma Bates today. I've been telling her lately how much Stella looks like her to me, so she dug up some baby pictures of herself at 4 months old to compare. WOW.

PED visit

Met with a new pediatrician today. I like her. Very matter-of-fact and like-minded about vaccinations, medications and nutrition.

Stella was weighed, measured, and shot (twice). She took the first one pretty well, but the second one got to her, poor thing. About 2 minutes of screaming later she was smiling and happy again, babbling at Grammie.

Not surprisingly, she's very healthy! I looked up her size on some growth charts tonight and she's above average in weight/height, even for a 4 month old. And also not surprisingly, her head circumference puts her in the 90th percentile! :)

New perspectives

Stella's already bored with the regular world. Now, she only wants to see it upside down.

She does this to all of us, but here are some pics of her making Daddy hold her like she likes.
