We all came out for Dad's gig Friday at the Dogwood Arts Festival. 80,000 attendees were expected over the weekend and the Dark Hollow Band was fantastic. Nice work, Dad!

She just did what?
Another surprise...I had Stella on my lap last night after her dinner and she decided to pull herself up to standing! We caught the 3rd & 4th times on Rob's phone.

She's not where I put her!
Today I really had that first moment of...Hey now, she's not where I put her! Stella learned today to scoot backwards on her belly. Here's a photo of her handiwork. Just a few minutes before this was taken she was playing with that bumblebee!

Easter in TN (and some updates)
Several folks have pointed out that I'm not posting as often as I used to. I'm glad you noticed! Mostly, that's because Stella's grandparents (and one great) are now on Facebook, but it's also because she sleeps less during the day and keeps me busier. Plus, the weather's SO NICE!
Anyway...since I last posted, Stella got her first two teeth! That's right, two at once popped right through. She was a little fussier than usual but still slept through the night for the most part, so I'm hoping she'll handle them all this well.
Since Rob's studying hard for Exam 8, Jess, Stella and I got out of his hair for the weekend and spent Easter in TN. We took quite a few pictures and here are some of the best. It was a great time, but Stella was *really* glad to see her crib last night. :)

Mom's Group event today
I feel so bad - it was my idea to do the 'babies on the couch' photo and just look what happened. Oh well, we had fun!

Someone thinks she's a big girl
Stella is still not crawling, but loves to stand! Her Daddy propped her up to stand on her own and I took some shots. I'd love to see this flip-book style. Hilarious!

6 month pediatrician visit and general updates
I know it's been a while since I posted anything other than photos/videos. Sorry!! Stella's awake a lot more during the day and I no longer have all of that leisure time I used to take for granted. :)
We're all doing really well. Stella's right on track - she enjoyed solid food, as you could see, and is babbling constantly and showing lots more personality. She's even taking music classes. Today she made up a game where she sucked Mommy's face for a while, then pulled back and squealed with delight. I thought it was hilarious as well until I looked in the mirror and saw a big old hickey on my cheek!
She had her 6-month pediatrician visit on Monday. Rob was off and he joined us. She hadn't gained any weight since last month (hard to believe so it's probably a clothing difference) and still weighed in at 17lbs 14oz (80%ile). She's 26" long (65%ile) and her head is 17.25" in circumference (90%tile). No teeth yet but we're keeping an eye out for one any day now.
In other big news - she's sitting up on her own really well now, so we were able to go to our first playdate on Tuesday. She was a little overwhelmed a cried a few times, but it's good for her to get used to other kids so we'll keep going when I can find the time.
The house is still a major work in progress. I finally decided on a sofa for the den and plan to order it tomorrow. Next up- painting, more window treatments, and then maybe we'll get around to hanging something on the walls. It could very well take us a year to get settled in here at the rate I'm going. The wrist injury hasn't helped matters but it seems to be getting a bit better with the brace and the cortisone shot last week.
That's the news from 479. If you're still reading, you must be related to me!

Video: First solid food!
Happy 6-month birthday, Stella. Mama made you some southern sweet potatoes - baked and then pureed. Yum. Enjoy!

The park
Stella and I went to the park yesterday to watch the big kids play, and one of the moms recommended I put Stella in the swing. Shocker...she loved it! Can't believe I hadn't thought of that before. Swinging and being outdoors are her two favorite things. Combine them and she was downright cackling! I took these on my phone:
Hawks/Thunder
Rob and I went to the Hawks game on MLK day. Big Thanks to Aunt Jess for babysitting! She was a star - no tears the whole time. (It helped that Stella slept for 3/4 hours we were gone!)
It was fun to see an NBA game up close - and be on national TV. Kissing. :) That was for you, Casey. As you can see, we were pretty close to the action!

Girls day out
Melissa visited this weekend from San Francisco (how surprised was she to find snow on the ground?!) and Stella and I took her to Lenox mall to escape the cold.

Photos: Baby's First Christmas!
It was a great Christmas! Not only did I get to open presents for two people (:)) but Stella provided pretty much constant entertainment for the family in Tennessee, only to break for the occasional nap. Here are some photos of the week - these are Mom's and mine combined.
Thank you to everyone for their generosity this year - we really racked up!
